to OT Jason Smith of Baylor. 33 bench presses. Now, if I could get the NFL Network guys to shut up about Detroit possibly drafting him...
With the Andre Smith meltdown, William Beatty of UConn and Eben Britton of Arizona have turned in good enough performances today to move into lower first-round contention. As silly as it is to have offensive linemen running the 40-yard dash, their sub-5.2 times speak well to their athleticism and preparation. Keep an eye out for their weight room results.
NFL Network frustrates me every year with its unwillingness to cover BOTH groups of linemen performing at the combine - we only ever get to see group 2 - but at least we're getting to see some new drills this year. The drill where they have linemen protecting against a defender on a wide split is extremely relevant to how the NFL game is played and could be illuminating.
