Draft Daddy friend/European TV-journalist Soren Hygum Hansen from draftday.dk just sent us a great link, full of fascinating pre-draft news and notes, collected from U.S. sources. Problem is, unless our visitors are literate in Danish, they wont be able to read it. Luckily, Soren translated the text and sent us some of the hi-lights:
* Several teams have expressed a strong interest in defensive tackle Terrence Knighton of Temple. He has scheduled visits with the Buccaneers, Eagles and Patriots. He recently ran a 4.9 seconds 40-yard dash at his Pro Day and he projects to either nose tackle or defensive end in a 3-4-scheme in the N.F.L.
* Earlier this year cornerback Steven A. Jackson of Fort Valley State University ran an impressive 4.20 40-yard dash in his pre-draft training. He was an All-American in track and field and attended the Cactus Bowl in January after he made seven interceptions in his senior season. The Colts, Dolphins, Ravens and Seahawks have all shown some interest in him.
* Jake Richardson of University of Miami (Ohio) is one of the best punters in this year's draft. On Friday he has a personal workout today with the Colts. Before that he had a workout with the Bengals and the Patriots. Two weeks ago he had one with the Falcons and the Eagles. At his Pro Day in mid-March he punted for scouts from the Bengals, Giants and Packers. His long punt at his Pro Day was 57 yards with all five punts being longer than 48 yards.
* Linebacker Anthony Heygood of Purdue worked out for the Eagles on Monday. He led the Boilermakers in tackles as a senior... Meanwhile, linebacker Kevin Grant of Akron had a workout with the Commanders last Friday.
* Wide receiver Andrew Means of Indiana, who recently ran a 4,36 40-yard dash at his Pro Day, will work out for the Browns on April 14th.
DD.comment: We always thought Andrew Means bared a fairly strong resemblance to Cleveland Indians' all-star first basemen Travis Hafner. So if the Browns do pick him, it will be like the Geoff Jenkins-Brett Favre situation all over again. Look-a-like pro athletes in the same city (or state), at the same time.
