Impressive day.

Multiple coaches, general managers, and NFL personnel are set to step up to the podium throughout the process. Check back regularly for updates from TFY’s own Tony Pauline and Brent Sobleski.
UPDATE: 6:15 PM – All Bench Press Numbers from the Tight Ends!
– Here are the bench performances among the tight ends:
1) Clay Harbor, Missouri St- 30 repetitions
2) Dennis Pitta, BYU – 27 repetitions
3) Michael Hoomanawanui, Illinois – 25
4) Dorin Dickerson, Pittsburgh – 24

– While working in the same Combine training facility as Boise State’s Kyle Wilson, top rated wide receiver prospect Dez Bryant has suffered the same injury as the cornerback. It is unknown as to the severity of the hamstring injury at the moment or whether he will perform here in Indianapolis. As a side note, Bryant also showed up at the Combine at 225 pounds; five pounds heavier than he played this season.
Combine 2010: Punters/Place Kickers
26
Feb
Combine workouts began today as the punters and place kickers took to the field of Lucas Oil Stadium. There were several good performances while others failed to meet expectations.
Punters Distance/Hang Time
Brent Bowden/Virginia Tech: Best Punts- 47yd/4.82, 42yd/4.80, 48yd/4.41, 46yd/4.69
Notes: Bowden was solid but not spectacular. He struggled later in the day during directional punting drills.
Matthew Dodge/East Carolina: Best Punts- 51yd/4.50, 53yd/4.19
Notes: We expected a bigger leg from Dodge yet he does have a nice stroke and the ball sails off his foot. He was effective during directional kicking drills and really showed some good hang time on the ball.
Robert Malone/Fresno State: Best Punts- 50yd/4.75, 51yd/4.69, 50yd/4.22
Notes: Malone was a bit of a surprise. He showed a strong leg but really struggled when he was required to directional punt.
Zoltan Mesko/Michigan: Best Punts- 52yd/4.44, 56yd/4.53, 51yd/4.69
Notes: After a poor performance Mesko looked terrific today during his combine workout. The ball exploded off his foot and Mesko really stood out during directional punting drills. He consistently gets terrific hang time on the ball.

Place Kickers Distance/Hang Time
Matt Dodge/East Carolina: Best Kicks- 70yd/3.81, 67yd/3.88, 66yd/3.66
Notes: Dodge did a solid job showing versatility as a punter and kicker. His kicks show little in the way of hang time, which he must address.
Aaron Pettrey/Ohio State: Best Kicks- 72yd/4.00, 68yd/4.03, 71yd/4.09
Pettrey was solid. He looked terrific when they asked the kickers to direct their kicks.
Brett Swenson/Michigan State: Best Kicks- 67yd/4.00, 66yd/4.00, 66yd/4.22
Notes: Swenson had the best hang time of any of the kickers but did not reach the end zone once today. He seemingly hits the ball with a short stroke.
Van Tiffen/Alabama: Best Kicks- 72yd/4.09, 71yd/3.98, 73yd/3.66
Tiffen had the best kick off leg of the day, though it was nothing special. While his kicks were long they showed little in the way of hang time.
