"I like him a lot," said one NFL scout. "He's tall, long and extremely athletic and plays with a high motor. I'd heard some chatter about him this fall and went to see him, and he's way more athletic than I thought he'd be. You still wonder if he has enough power and strength at the point of attack right now to be an every-down guy, but he really has a knack for rushing the passer and he has some real third-down value."

Word is, Starr should turn heads at the combine, not just for the long blonde hair that he hasn't cut since his freshman year at USD. Starr says he hass clocked a three-cone drill time of 6.29 in his training sessions in Tennessee. For comparison's sake, the fastest time in Indy last year was 6.52 by cornerback Will Davis from Utah. Oregon WR Jeff Maehl clocked a 6.42 in 2011, which the NFL considers its recent best. The fastest time by a linebacker last year was 6.71 by Mizzou's Zavier Gooden.

Interesting kid. I see him more as a 3-4 OLB but maybe he can add some weight to his frame and be a 4-3 DE. I'll be looking for him in the combine.

What system fits your style of play the best?
One that gets me on the field. I truly believe I can play 3-4 outside linebacker, Sam linebacker in a 4-3 or DE. I also believe I am capable of playing TE. I’ll do whatever it takes to play the game of football for as long as I can.


Who was your favorite team and player in the NFL and why?
DeMarcus Ware, A legend at his position.

I think a 6.29 3-cone would be a record. I can't remember ever seeing one that fast.
