NFL Combine Senior Bowl Media Contact Combine Live Wire: Saturday

Feb


RB or WR?
Full workouts begin today! The offensive linemen and tight ends will be running and working out. As always the media will be meeting with players, multiple coaches, and NFL personnel. Tony Pauline and Brent Sobleski are on site to feed live updates throughout the day. Check back often!

UPDATE 11:45 AM – More Player Highlights.

Dexter McCluster, ATH Mississippi

- Measured in at 5-feet-8-inches tall and 172 pounds. It should be noted the weight is a 7 pound increase from the Senior Bowl.

- Obviously size could be a concern, yet the feedback McCluster has received is “….teams really don’t care, they say ‘You’re a football player’. I am set to prove there is something different about me.”

- Many teams have been “surprisingly” talking to him about being a running back at the next level. What they are looking for in his game is similar to what he did in college, “creating mismatches”.

- Special teams will be an area of strength in his game. The athlete prefers punt return over kick return because it requires more quickness. Also, McCluster talked about his willingness and love to play the gunner position, which he did as a sophomore.

- This season as a running back, McCluster began to really participate in the offense. Prior to this year when he was in the backfield, they knew it would be a run. He began to learn pass protections and blitz pickups in 2009.

- The New England Patriots spent plenty of time with this prospect at the Senior Bowl. They are looking at him as a wide receiver and “put him on the drawing board” during said time.

Keiland Williams, RB LSU

- Measured in at 5-feet-11-inches tall and weight 233 pounds.

- Will not work out here in Indianapolis due to a lingering injury.

Selvish Capers, OT West Virginia

- Measured in t 6-feet-4-inches tall and 308 pounds.

- Prior to his lackluster efforts at the Senior Bowl, Capers had never played left tackle in a game or practice.

Some good times there for the big men. I see 2 OG OT OC tweener prospects that just helped their cause.
 
Newhouse ran very well. I didn't know that T Williams was that fast either.

did fox run today?
 
My new favorite Feline Veldheer has looked really good. Coming from such a small school he has got to have room to get stronger and get better technique. He looks agile mobile and hostile and that is what I like in tackles.

i like him too, we should be able to get a good OT either in 1st, or 2nd or 3rd round for sure

I wouldn't mind him in the 2nd.
