Arizona State Pro Day

Reps from 12 NFL teams showed up in Tempe to watch the former Sun Devils workout at the Arizona State Pro Day. Unfortunately for those Sandy Devils they don't have much high level talent going into the 2009 NFL Draft and the highest selection in my opinion will ultimately be safety Troy Nolan who has the versatility to play free or strong safety along with the ball skills, hitting ability and range to be a fourth or fifth round selection.

Here are the results for the Sun Devils courtesy of NFL.com:

G Paul Fanaika (6-5 5/8, 327 pounds) ran a 5.59 in his first 40, but pulled a hamstring while he was running. He had a 24 1/2-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot, 2-inch broad jump, a 4.92 short shuttle, an 8.06 three-cone drill and 16 bench press reps at 225 pounds.

WR Michael Jones (6-3 1/2, 211 pounds) ran a 4.58 and 4.54 in the 40, had a 36 1/2-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot, 7-inch broad jump, a 4.21 short shuttle and a 6.82 three-cone drill.

QB Rudy Carpenter (6-2, 217 pounds) ran a 4.89 and 4.93 in the 40.

RB Keegan Herring (5-9 3/8, 203 pounds) ran a 4.51 and 4.47 in the 40, had a 34 1/2-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot, 3-inch broad jump, a 4.26 short shuttle, a 6.93 three-cone drill and did 24 bench press reps. He was a pleasant surprise.

S Troy Nolan (6-0 7/8, 205 pounds) ran a 4.58 and 4.59 in the 40, had a 31 1/2-inch vertical jump and did 15 bench press reps. He worked out well.
