Rutgers Pro Day

27 NFL teams were represented on the March 26th for the Rutgers Pro Day. Wide receiver Kenny Britt was focal point of the workouts running 4.47 in the forty yard dash and looking solid in the positional drills, but he has some fellow teammates who could easily see consideration come draft day, here are the results courtesy of NFL.com:

TE Kevin Brock (6-5 1/2, 255) ran a 4.64 and 4.67 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.28 short shuttle and a 6.81 in the three-cone drill. Brock also recorded a 34-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot, 11-inch broad jump and 23 bench press reps.

S Courtney Green posted a 9-foot, 11-inch broad jump and stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine.

DB Jason McCourty (5-11 7/8, 193) ran a 4.30 and 4.34 40-yard dash, a 4.28 short shuttle and a 6.76 three-cone drill. McCourty also posted a 36.5-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot, 5-inch broad jump and 15 bench press lifts.

WR Tiquan Underwood (6-1 1/4, 178) ran a 4.36 and 4.40 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.16 in the short shuttle and stood on the rest of his numbers from the combine.

DE/LB Jamaal Westerman (6-2 1/8, 257) ran a 4.81 and 4.78 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.38 short shuttle and a 7.03-three-cone drill. Westerman also posted 20 bench press reps.

QB Mike Teel (6-3 1/8, 225) ran a 5.17 and 5.13 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.59 short shuttle and 7.69 three-cone drill. Teel also posted a 28.5-inch vertical jump and 8-foot, 8-inch broad jump.

A lot of these Rutgers players should get some sniffs come draft day, Courtney Greene and Tiquan Underwood are likely early 2nd day players. Mike Teel and Jamaal Westerman are probably mid-late second day players and I will say this, I've played against Westerman when he was an undersized defensive end just beginning to make a name for himself in Canada and he is a talented player who works incredibly hard and his speed and explosions was something I had never seen before. I can see him making a roster and in a few years becoming a solid special teams and situational player.
