2 Richmond Spiders on NFL radar

[afosomf]

Tim Hightower, RB, Richmond: Scouts were surprised Hightower was not invited to the combine in February, especially after he scored 20 touchdowns last season. The 220-pound back later impressed by running 4.51 in the 40 at his pro day. Projected as a solid middle-round pick, Hightower has visited nearly a dozen franchises, including the Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders, both of whom are interested in his services.

Arman Shields, WR, Richmond: Shields is another Spider being hotly pursued by NFL clubs. His story is all the more interesting given that he was sidelined after three games last season with knee injury. He came back to run a 4.45 at the combine. Shields, an outstanding receiver and return specialist, is being pursued by more than a half-dozen franchises and has visited the Tampa Bay Bucs and New York Jets.

Both are very good players, Hightower runs very hard, compared to a

Ricky Williams style less the maryjane and Shields had an outstanding

combine.

I wonder if Shields played with Tutt...

From a co-worker/Spider alum:

Yes they all played together. I think Tim and Arman were redshirt sophmores when Stacy was a senior, so they would have had 3 years together with 2 years playing time.
