Redskins | Team talks with Henne
Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:44:02 -0800

University of Michigan QB Chad Henne said during his NFL Scouting Combine interview that he has talked with the Washington Redskins.

Cowboys | Team talks with Henne
Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:41:27 -0800



interesting... i think henne is the best value as a NFL QB starter this year, but i didn't think we'd be considering taking a QB with a 2nd round pick (or moving up). probably just due diligence.

the Redskins, as of now, have NOT talked to devin thomas (WR), malcolm kelly (WR)

Malcolm Kelly (1st round WR) will NOT workout at the combine.

University of California-Berkley wideout DeSean Jackson proclaimed himself 100 percent healthy at the NFL Scouting Combine. He also said that he had a chance to work legendary NFL receiver Jerry Rice, who Jackson now views as a mentor. Jackson said that Rice stressed the value of off-the-field conduct and relationships most to him. Jackson, by the way, measured in at a mere 5-foot-9, three inches shorter than his billed height by the university.

jake long (OT), and fred davis (TE) did not run.


Dustin Keller destroyed the TE competition as far as combine stats are concerned.

10'11" broad jump (8" better than 2nd place), 4.14 shuttle (best by .05), 38" vertical (best by 2") 4.55 40 (best by .03), 26 bench presses (2nd best, 1 behind the lead), 2nd best in 3 cone (6.88, 6.8 was the lead).

he went to purdue originally as a 185 lbs WR, and came to the combine as a 242 lbs athletic TE.


btw, the NFL is doing a much better job of tracking the draft this year.

glenn dorsey will NOT workout

tom zbikowski came in at 5'11" and 211 lbs (8% body fat). that'll help him.

mcfadden's run times also (obviously) lock him as the #1 RB and a top pick. he's only half as good as peterson though (he has trouble breaking tackles just like reggie bush did, only mcfadden doesn't catch as well. better field vision though).

owen schmitt (blocking FB) did 26 reps on bench press

Defensive Line bench press results
-Gholston, Vernon 37
-Laws, Trevor 35
-Rubin, Ahtyba 35
-Ellis, Sedrick 34
-Hayden, Nick 34
-Okam, Frank 32
-Harvey, Derrick 31
-Jackson, Lawrence 31
-Moore, Dre 31

obviously we're interested in these. gholston really helped himself, since he was thought of as more of a pure speed guy. his highlights had him bullrushing guys too though.

NFL | Monk fluid during workout at Combine
Sun, 24 Feb 2008 18:14:48 -0800

Mark Curnutte, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports University of Arkansas WR Marcus Monk was one of the more fluid wide receivers during the workout at the NFL Scouting Combine Sunday, Feb. 24.


a guy i'd like in the 7th... 6'6" WR - good blocker/special teamer, had lots of practice blocking for mcfadden over the years.
