Results and reactions from some of the top prospects to weigh-in at Thursday’s NFL Combine.

Rudolph has one of the bigger sets of hands in the tight end group.
Notre Dame tight end Kyle Rudolph was just over 6-6, but at 259-pounds was about seven pounds less than his listed weight. He recorded 34-inch arms and big hands for the position at 10 ¼.

Villanova OL Ben Ijalana was one of the unknowns going into the Combine after missing the Senior Bowl due to a sports hernia. However, he weighed in at 6035, 317-pounds and might be a bit short for the tackle spot by NFL standards. However, with 36-inch arms -one of the tops among the offensive line group- he certainly has the length to make up for his lack of ideal height and at least get a shot on the outside. He was a bit sloppy in the upper body, but possesses a strong, thick looking lower half with the natural base to anchor on the edge.
