Julian Edelman shined for Kent State during last week’s “Pro Day” at Kent State, as he tried to show NFL scouts he can make the transition from quarterback to wide receiver.
Edelman’s times of 3.91 seconds in the short shuttle and 10.74 in the long-shuttle would have been the fastest times recorded at the NFL combine in February, regardless of position.
Edelman’s 40-yard dash time of 4.51 seconds was comparable to the time Josh Cribbs recorded in Las Vegas following his senior season. Cribbs, who went from quarterback at Kent State to wide receiver and Pro Bowl return specialist with the Cleveland Browns, is the standard to follow for a former college quarterback trying to earn an undrafted free-agent contract to compete for a job at another position with an NFL team.
Edelman has been working out with former University of Akron quarterback Charlie Frye at the Zips’ indoor practice facility.

MORE PRO DAY HIGHLIGHTS — KSU defensive back Rico Murray and wide receiver Shawn Bayes recorded impressive verticals during their Pro Day workouts. Murray jumped 40.5 inches, while Bayes marked a 40.0. Linebacker Derek Burrell turned in KSU’s best effort on the bench with 22 reps of 225 pounds.
•••
PARRISH GETTING LOOKS — Representatives of the Miami Dolphins were in Kent on Monday to work out Flashes offensive lineman Augustus Parrish.
According to several scouting services, Parrish is among the top 10-to-15 tackles available in next month’s NFL Draft. He is projected as a mid-second-day draft pick. The draft will be held April 25-26.•••
