NFL Combine - Day Two

• Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Colt McCoy, Tony Pike and 10 other QB's elected not to participate in the bench press Saturday at the NFL Scouting Combine. Meanwhile Penn State’s Daryll Clark pounded out 21 repetitions, this may have helped his draft status.


• Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung, considered the top prospect at his position, didn’t finish the final drills at his NFL Scouting Combine workout Saturday after tweaking his groin. It is not a serious injury.


• That was not the only injury of the day, Arkansas guard Mitch Petrus, who tied the NFL Scouting Combine record (since 2000) with 45 bench-press repetitions Friday, injured his left hamstring during his first 40-yard dash Saturday morning and won’t run again.


• Tomorrow at the NFL Combine the quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs will begin drills.

Josh McDaniels press conference highlights

Today Josh McDaniels held a press conference at the NFL Combine. Here are some of highlights of what he had to say:

• McDaniels had this to say about Brandstater: “We have high hopes for Tom. I’m sure he’s in our building today working to get better. He’s working really hard. I think that’s the goal anytime you take a player and give him the opportunity to learn like we did with Tom last year. Hopefully he has the opportunity to really progress this Spring and really be competitive when we head to training camp because the goal is never to take a player and put him as the third string quarterback then leave him there. We want him to ascend...We have high hopes for Tom."
• Of Brandon Marshall he had this to say:“Brandon is a great football player, there’s no question about it. And he had a great season this year in terms of his production. A Pro Bowl year. Anytime you’re dealing with a players and contracts, you weigh a lot of things. Certainly the fact that we did [meet and workout a solution] already once, makes you believe that you can do it again and again. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m really fond of him. He’s a good person and certainly played a big role on our team. There are a lot of things that go into, but we’re not at a point where we’ve made a decision on it.”
• McDaniels also said he looks for character and production in players he drafts.


• Second-year player Seth Olsen is a candidate to start at left guard and center.

NFL Combine - Day One

The first day of the NFL Combine has come and gone. With no shortage of big stories.

The Broncos will have the 11th overall draft pick, after the Bears lost the coin toss with the Jaguars. Although Denver may not get a "Top 10 Player" the rookie they draft will be much cheaper than one selected higher.

Arkansas guard Mitch Petrus tied a combine record (since 2000) with 45 bench repetitions of 225 LBs. Of course he wasn't counting, he was "Shocked" when he was told how many he did.

In his interview, Tim Tebow said although it has been his dream to play QB in NFL, he would be willing to playing another position.

“I want to be a quarterback in the NFL,” he said. “It’s been my dream since I was 6 years old, so I’m going to do what it takes to do that. But if I’m on a team that asks me to help the team in some other way, of course I’m going to do that. It’s team first.”
