NFL Combine 2011 Results: NFL Combine 2011 Scouting Results – The NFL Combine 2011 is currently being held at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis Indiana as several NFL officials are on the look out of the best NFL players to join them in the next season of NFL.
The NFL Combine is a series of evaluations which serves as workouts for the top NFL players prospects that includes tests/evaluations include: vertical jump, broad jump, 20-yard shuttle, 40 yard dash, bench press, , three-cone drill, 60-yard shuttle, physical measurements, injury evaluation, drug screen, position-specific drills, interviews, and wonderlic test.
So who’s in and who’s out in the latest NFL Combine 2011 results? Let’s first start with Cam Newton which is considered as this year’s star attraction among the NFL player prospects. Newton did something extremely rare for this setting. He read from a prepared statement. In short, he attempted to put his own spin on recent comments he made to Peter King of Sports Illustrated about being an “entertainer and icon,” the latest controversy to dog the Heisman Trophy winner.
Aside from Cam Newton, some of the NFL players who caught the attention of NFL officials are Virgil green of Nevada, Nate Solder of Colorado, Rodney Houston of Florida State, and Anthony Castonzo of Boston College.
Green looked like a physical marvel during the workout and drills portion of the combine. The athletic tight end is a well-built, physically imposing presence who just seemed a little bigger and a little stronger than his peers in the tight end group. Green, who caught 35 passes for over 500 yards as a senior, will not challenge top tight end Kyle Rudolph, who couldn’t participate due to injury, for the No. 1 spot
USC OT Tyron Smith, a potential top-10 pick, may regret the decision to not go through the workouts with the rest of the offensive linemen. Smith’s absence allowed Colorado’s Nate Solder to soak in the spotlight.
Rodney Hudson is this year’s quintessential center prospect. His workout numbers certainly didn’t melt the page, but Hudson looked like a true technician in the drills portion. He was fluid and technique savvy and looked comfortable moving laterally in the pull block drills.
If you’re looking for production from the tight end position, D.J. Williams from Arkansas is your guy. Williams has hauled in 144 passes over the last three years. He’s a bit undersized and will probably have to be used in a hybrid H-Back type role, but judging from the way Williams ran his routes today, he knows exactly what he’s doing and should be able to come in and contribute as a rookie.
Anthony Castonzo had about as solid of a collegiate career as you can have if you’re an offensive linemen. Castonzo started every game since his freshman year and earned numerous awards and accolades for his play on the field. He could play either right or left tackle in the NFL, and he should be a starter as a rookie.
So far, these are the results for the top NFL players for the day 3 of the 2011 NFL Combine. Stay tune to us for more updates on the NFL Combine 2011 scouting results.
