3/12/10: Didn’t run at his Pro Day; only worked out, and looked great doing so.
3/2/10: Jerry Hughes ran a solid 4.59 at the Combine and looked like a natural 3-4 rush linebacker in all of the drills. He’ll probably be drafted in Round 2, but he looks like a winner.

11/14/09: Jerry Hughes is once again having a huge year (10.5 TFL, 9 sacks). He has a great shot of being the first rush linebacker taken in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Marshall Newhouse, G, TCU Height: 6-4. Weight: 322.

Benchx225: 25. Arm: 34.
Projected Round (2010): 3-4.

Projected Round (2010): 5-6.
3/12/10: Couldn’t run at his Pro Day because of a foot injury.
1/9/10: You know a corner is good when he plays 11 games, has six pass deflections, yet has managed only 18 tackles. Opposing quarterbacks avoid throwing at Rafael Priest, an All-Mountain West first-teamer. Priest missed the national championship because of a foot sprain.

5/7/08: Looking at his size and speed measurables, you may determine that Greg Middleton is pretty difficult to block. Well, opposing linemen found that out the hard way, as Middleton registered a nation-high 16 sacks in 2007.
