NFL Draft: Morning Delight
This time of the year is what I like to call “Wonder Land”. It’s a time where fans can wonder and dream of the best prospects joining their favorite team, and making an immediate impact. There are a lot of Pro Day and private workout goodies floating around the internet this morning, so enjoy “Wonder Land”.
"The New England Patriots have conducted a private workout with University of Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.National Football Post – Source: Patriots worked out Maryland WR Torrey Smith"
"Nebraska CB Prince Amukamara and Cal DE Cameron Jordan visited the Detroit Lions’ Practice and Training Facility Wednesday – it was the first visit for both players. Something else Amukamara and Jordan have in common is what they would gain through playing in Detroit. After the additions of Defensive Rookie of the Year Ndamukong Suh and veterans Kyle Vanden Bosch and Corey Williams, the Lions showed they were establishing themselves as one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL.Detroitlions.com – Prince Amukamara, Cameron Jordan Visit Detroit"
"University of Georgia outside linebacker Justin Houston is scheduled to visit the Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.In addition to meeting with Ravens linebackers coach Dean Pees before his Pro Day workout next week, Houston is set to conduct private workouts with the New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons.National Football Post – Sources: Justin Houston to visit Bills, Vikings, Chiefs and Buccaneers"
"The concern with Devlin is his arm strength. At the Shrine Game he struggled to put enough on his passes and frequently his throws came out wobbly. At his Pro Day on Tuesday Devlin reportedly showed off more of the same shaky arm strength and inconsistency with his accuracy.Draftace.com – Pat Devlin’s stock falling fast"
"Massive Hampton defensive lineman Kenric Ellis is drawing serious interest from several NFL teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers, according to league sources with knowledge of the situation.National Football Post – Hampton DL Kenrick Ellis on radar of Steelers, Eagles, Broncos, Patriots, Packers"
"When watching tape of Cal DL Cameron Jordan this summer the first thing that popped into my head was that this guy is a better NFL prospect than Tyson Alualu, who went 10th overall last year. Jordan is a tall, long-armed lineman with natural power in his lower half and the suddenness to shed blocks and be a threat both in the run and pass game. And at 6-4 and nearly 290 pounds he possesses the kind of size to project as a potential five-technique at the next level.Wes Bunting of NFP – Cal DL Cameron Jordan has a lot to offer 3-4 defenses"
