10. Darius Johnson – SMU

11. Takashi Kurihara – Hosei University (Japan)

Workout Notes:

Two guys immediately stood out with their route running and catching ability: Carlton Mitchell and Takashi Kurihara.  Both guys looked extremely fluid and comfortable performing in such a pressure situation.  I also like what I saw from two small college guys in Nathan Slaughter and Thomas Mayo. Both drew a lot of interest from scouts.  Joe Adams still has the explosiveness that made him a good prospect coming out of college. And for an option QB convert, Trent Steelman looked much more like a WR as opposed to when I got the chance to see him back in East West Shrine Game.  Emmanuel Ogbuehi and Jamie Childers stood out from the group of TEs.

Workout Notes:

Contrary to the unofficial 40 times, I thought the RB group ran very well.  Felix Jones and Da’Rel Scott just have another gear that instantly jumps out at you.  Michael Bush caught the football extremely well and looked good through agility drills.  Cierre Wood and Quentin Hines had good showings in the COD drills.  FB Dan Moore was the story of the day making 3 spectacular grabs deep down the field in pass catching drills.

8. Brady Quinn – Notre Dame

Workout Notes:

Jerrod Johnson had the best day out of all of the participants.  Johnson threw the ball with velocity and accuracy at every level. He also showed good ability throwing on the move to both sides.  Both Tyler Wilson & Mike Kafka showed very good arm strength…the passes were ‘whistling’ as they whizzed by scouts.  Brady Quinn also threw well in the short to intermediate area, especially during the WR/TE drills.

Both guys didn’t look awkward in COD drills.  Greg Reid was another player that displayed very good ball skills and quicks.
