All eyes were on Kyle Rudolph and the junior tight end did not disappoint. Rudolph, whose season ended in October after he underwent surgery to repair an injured hamstring, ran 40 times which averaged in the low-4.8s. Some watches timed Rudolph as fast as 4.77. He later caught the ball exceptionally well. Rudolph now moves towards the draft as the top tight end and should be drafted in the first half of round two.

Running back Armando Allen, who had been recovering from a hip injury and was another Irish prospect who sat on the sidelines in Indianapolis, posted times as fast as 4.46 after tipping the scales at 202 pounds, three more than his combine weight. Allen should be picked in the later rounds of the draft.

Rudolph (6-foot-6 1/8, 258 pounds) ran 4.75 and 4.83 seconds, had a 34 ½-inch vertical jump and 9-5 broad jump, ran a 4.36 short shuttle and 7.24 3-cone drill, and did 19 bench presses at 225 pounds. His high school quarterback from Cincinnati was there to throw to Rudolph, who caught the ball very well and showed really soft hands.

Other notables:
DL Ian Williams (6-0 ¾, 309) ran 5.15 and 5.14 in the 40 and. 7.75 in the 3-cone drill. He stood on everything else from the NFL Scouting Combine and had a nice individual workout.

RB Armando Allen (5-8 ¼, 201) ran 4.60 and 4.61 40s, had a 31 ½-inch vertical and 10-0 broad jump, and ran a 4.17 short shuttle and 7.08 3-cone drill. He looked like he had good quickness and caught the ball well in the positional workout.
