ScoutNFL: Despite playing eight years straight at left tackle, dating back to high school and then all the way through college, Villanova's Ben Ijalana is projected as a guard in the NFL since he's 6-3 and not 6-7. Because of a sports hernia that required surgery in December, Ijalana wasn't able to compete at the Senior Bowl -- he said having to turn down the invitation left him "bummed" -- and won't work out this week at the Scouting Combine, either. But he'll be ready to give it a go Mar. 16 at his Pro Day. Why did he get into football, like so many of his fellow native Nigerians have lately? "Eventually," he said, "you get too big for soccer." -- John Crist, Scout.com NFL Analyst
