faba Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Double your pleasure There are 20 players here who are trying out at multiple positions. That's a good thing because if you can prove to the scouts that you are versatile and athletic, you can improve your draft position. It also says something about the desire these kids have to play in the National Football League -- they want it so bad they'll play anywhere they can. Here is an up-to-date list of the 20 players trying out at different positions. Eighteen of them are defensive linemen also working out as a linebacker: Jonathan Babineaux, Iowa Vincent Burns, Kentucky Dan Cody, Oklahoma Trent Cole, Cincinnati Chauncey Davis, Florida State Andre Frazier, Cincinnati Johnathan Goddard, Marshall Erasmus James, Wisconsin Khari Long, Baylor David McMillan, Kansas Shawne Merriman, Maryland Eric Moore, Florida State David Pollack, Georgia Ryan Riddle, Cal matt Roth, Iowa Justin Tuck, Notre Dame Demarcus Ware, Troy Jonathan Welsh, Wisconsin And two are other players at other positions: Matt Jones, Arkansas (QB and WR) Antonio Perkins, Oklahoma (DB and WR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I am a huge fan of Justin Tuck... has a definitive instinct to get to the qb and never gives up on plays. Continous pursuit and tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Quick hits from Indy: Day 5 By Gil Brandt NFL.com Senior Analyst NFL.com draft expert Gil Brandt is in Indianapolis at the 2005 National Scouting Combine. While there, he will file daily reports for draft-hungry fans to read about. NFL Network will also provide live coverage of the combine and have daily wrap-ups on NFL Total Access. Listen LIVE to NFL games, plus watch video news and features of your favorite team. INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 28, 2005) -- We're just getting started here this morning, so there isn't too much to report. The tight ends are on display, and they just got done running their 40-yard dashes. There were 14 tight ends in total. Nine ran, four were medically excused, and one chose not to run. The best time was by Notre Dame's Jerome Collins, who posted times of 4.65 and 4.66. And all of the tight ends ran a 4.90 or under. In other news, we learned that Rams OT Orlando Pace has changed agents, leaving the Poston brothers for Kennard McGuire. Not exactly a groundbreaking 40-yard dash time, but a bit of significant news nonetheless. The first group of defensive linemen, which includes both tackles and ends together, ran very well, posting good times. There were 25 players in the group. Of the 25, 18 ran, two were excused, and five didn't take part in the 40-yard dash on the advice of their agents. Iowa's Jonathan Babineaux, a 286-pounder, posted times of 4.81 and 4.87. Conversely, Trent Cole of Cincinnati really needs to run and work out, but he was one of the guys that didn't do anything. Jonathan Goddard, a small but productive player from Marshall, ran a 4.72. The biggst surprise as far as how well he ran was Jovan Haye of Vanderbilt, who ran a 4.78. One defensive tackle, Luis Castillo of Northwestern (6-3 3/8, 303), ran a 4.78 40 times on some of the defensive linemen and Orlando Pace dropped Poston's as agents -could there be any meaning to that?
