Houston Pro Day

17 NFL teams were present to watch the Houston Cougar's Pro Day. There were three talents of intrigue including top NCAA sack artist DE/LB Philip Hunt and massive German OT Sebastian Vollmer who were not invited to the combine and undoubtedly should have been.

I'm personally a big fan of Philip Hunt and I think he could go as early as the third round considering his size and ability to get to the quarterback, he could easily be a defensive end in a 4-3 or an OLB in a 3-4 and his stats speak volumes. As for Vollmer, he is a big and nasty offensive tackle with limitless upside and great size that a team will not likely pass up in the the fourth or fifth round.

Regardless, here are the stats courtesy of NFL.com:

OL Sebastian Vollmer (6-7 1/2, 312 pounds) turned in times of 5.13 and 5.16 seconds in the 40-yard dash and also had a 36 1/2-inch vertical and a 9-foot, 3-inch broad jump. He had a 4.50 short shuttle and a 7.51 three-cone drill, and he did 32 repetitions of 225 pounds on the bench press.

DE/LB Phillip Hunt (6-0 7/8, 244 pounds) had times of 4.75 and 4.76 in the 40, an impressive 41 1/2-inch vertical and a 9-foot, 8-inch broad jump. He had a 4.22 short shuttle and a 6.91 three-cone drill, and he did 14 reps on the bench. He took part in drills to show he could pass rush and drop into coverage.

OL Sir Vincent Rogers (6-3 5/8, 306 pounds) ran the 40 in 5.34 and 5.35 seconds and had a 29-inch vertical and an 8-foot, 7-inch broad jump. He had a 4.75 short shuttle and a 7.39 three-cone drill.
