Combine Stuff

A few notes from the NFL combine:

• Darren McFadden ran blistering times of 4.27 and 4.33 in the 40. He is faster than Adrian Peterson. That much we knew. Let's see if he is as coveted as the Oklahoma back come draft time. We sure could use him as bait.
• Jake Long led all OL with 37 bench press reps as of yesterday.
• Glenn Dorsey is raising red flags with a broken tibula he suffered back in 2006. Those concerns might lower his stock so that if the Dolphins trade down to 5ish he might still be available. I wouldn't consider his injuries that big a deal if they didn't slow him down in college.
• A couple of Canes tried out from what I saw. Kyle Wright ran a slow 4.83 when he was advertised at a generous 4.6 coming into UM. Darnell Jenkins had a disappointing workout as well. He'll be drafted sometime in the later rounds I hope.
• FSU WR DeCody Fagg blows out his knee and will like miss his opportunity at getting drafted this year because of it. Tough luck for the young Nole.
• Andre Caldwell of the Gators posted a sick 4.31 40 time, matching speedster DeSean Jackson out of Cal. I'm not a huge fan of either but hey, they can run fast right? (cough Ginn cough)
• Potential 1st round pick Sedrick Ellis boasted a very impressive 34 reps. I've heard some tall tales about his strength and at this point he might be a better pick for NT than Dorsey.
• He was one-upped by pass-rushing Vernon Gholston of Ohio State, who had 37. That will likely solidify his Top 10 status if not Top 5.
