East Carolina RB Chris Johnson Burns up Indy Track

RB Chris Johnson - East Carolina
Speedy all-purpose back ran the fastest sprint at the NFL Combine that keeps as the highest rated senior tailback. He ran a blazing 4.24 time with a lightning 1.40 ten yard split, both numbers the highest at this year's NFL Combine and among the best on record. He also added a 35" VL and a 10'10" BJ. He did not participate in the shuttle or three cone drills. His performance may have elevated him to a top 40 grade. He also won the DraftInsiders.com Poll for fastest sprint at Indy

TE Dustin Keller – Purdue
Athletic smaller tight end had a huge workout and most impressive showing on Day 1. He ran 4.53 and 4.54 times and had an exceptional 38” vertical leap with a solid 26 reps @ 225 lbs. He displayed sure hands and the ability to adjust to the ball. He was on our Top 100 value board prior to the Combine and could move up further at the close of this critical event.

OT Jake Long – Michigan
The top offensive linemen in this year’s class solidified a top 5-10 selection. He came in at 6’7” and 313 lbs. and did a combine best thus far 37 reps @ 225 lbs. He ran a 5.17 and 5,27 times and solidified a top 5-10 selection.

DE Chris Long - Virginia
Blue chip defender ran excellent 4.71 and 4.77 times with a 34” VL. His agility drill numbers were equal to any linebacker in an excellent showing. His overall effort was one of the best of the event. He did not lift but will at the Va. pro day.

DE Vernon Gholston - Ohio St
Athletic tewener had one of the strongest showings at the combine. He ran an outstanding 4.67 time at 266 lbs. He also tied Jake Long with 37 reps for the most reps at the event. He added a good 35.5” VL that probably guarantees him a top 8 selection.

DT Trevor Laws - Notre Dame
Explosive tackle continued his terrific postseason at NFL Combine following a strong week at the Senior Bowl. He ran 5.08 and 5.09 times and 35 reps in the lifting. He performed very well in the agility drills and is the one shining light in a dismal ND football season.

Classic defensive tweener hopes to follow the Purdue tradition of top pro edge pass rushers. He ran fine 4.51 and 4.63 times at 253 lbs. with a very strong 6.91 three cone drill in addition to a 9’9” BJ and 27 reps.

DE Derrick Harvey - Florida
