Combine Live Wire: Friday
26
Feb
Medicals come a callin'.
Another day starts anew. On tap the media will be meeting with the skills positions while the specialists will be working out. 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: 3:30 PM – A record is tied, another medical issue, and a punter update!
Bruce Campbell, OT Maryland
- Although the schedule today dictates the skill positions interview, at least one offensive tackle made an appearance. Campbell’s day was delayed yesterday when medical examiners requested more tests to be run. Apparently, they found an genetic abnormality around the base of his skull and upper spine. It has never been an issue for the impressively sculpted prospect, but it was something which has been overlooked since high school.
- Weighed in at a chiseled 314 pounds.
- Campbell admitted he did not work hard at a younger age, but when he realized his physical potential it became a contest on how much muscle he could gain.
- The offensive tackle choose football over basketball to help differentiate himself from his father, a former basketball player.
- Already spoke with he Rams, Raiders, Seahawks, Texans, and Colts.
- Arkansas guard Mitch Petrus has tied the bench press combine record completeing 45 reps
- Zoltan mesko of michigan was the top punter in today’s workout. He was constantly putting them out there farther then 50yds and had a best of 56yds. His punts also has great hang time.
Armanti Edwards, QB Appalachian St.
- Measured in at 5-feet-10-inches tall and weighe 187 pounds.
- The fantastic FCS competitor pulled his hamstring last week while practicing as a wide receiver and running routes. He will not run the 40 yard dash and was disappointed knowing this would have been his biggest audience. Edwards described the issue as more of a pop than a true pull of the muscle.
- NFL teams have still expressed an interest in seeing him participate in quarterback drills.
Stephen Williams, WR Toledo
- The wide receiver suffered through a shoulder injury during the season. When questioned about the soundness of said shoulder, Williams immediately responded he is fully healthy. He will bench press here in Indianapolis “…to show how strong it actually is.” The hardest part of having an injury the pass catcher expounded was “…getting used to the pain” as he returned to the field.
- Also asked about his strengths, Williams describes his skill set as “diverse”. He pointed out the prevalence of running bubble screens, traditional screens, as well as running the route tree.
