“He’s a very impressive fellow,” Thompson said of Wilson, “articulate, knowledgeable, confident, and he projects that confidence. He’s going to be a good get for somebody.” continue

quote:Without an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine or any college all-star games, Wednesday’s pro day was the only chance for CSU football players to impress NFL scouts before April’s draft.
Representatives from the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders put former CSU players through a battery of physical drills to determine their prospects for an NFL career.

Most of the pro day scout’s attention, however, fell on running back Raymond Carter. Carter was one of the top all purpose running backs in the country coming out of high school, and transferred to CSU after one year at UCLA.
“I showed my strength well on the bench with 26 reps, which is where I wanted to hit,” he said, “and I ran a fast 40, guys wanted to see me run a fast 40.”
Carter spoke privately with representatives from the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers after workouts, but none of the parties involved would comment on the discussions.

With his size and speed could Nzegwu make the transition to OLB? It would be quite a project but he did play RB and LB in high school at Plattville. He also ran track and shot putted.

God forbid anyone say there is any kind of flaw with a Wisconsin player.

I haven't watched his feet in the pocket closely so I won't say that's 100% true, but it makes sense.

If I recall correctly, I think I remember him taking a lot of 5 and 7 step drops which is one way to compensate for a lack of height. Maybe I'm wrong on that.

Maybe so, but Peter Gabriel is an SEC fan.
quote:Can Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson make a statement throwing the football vs. a big-time college defense? I’m not sold on Wilson at all as an NFL quarterback, as his size at 5-11 really causes him to struggle to see over the line of scrimmage and forces him to stand upright and bounce on his toes too often trying to find throwing lanes. This mechanical flaw really takes away from his torque generated from his lower half and accuracy on all levels of the field.
