Workout Notes:

Julian Posey had a phenomenal day overall.  Very fluid and explosive in backpedal and in transition.  Didn’t drop a pass on the deep ball and 90-degree breakout drills.  Deveron Carr also performed well at CB.  Two safeties had standout days, Akwasi Owusu-Ansah & Kyle Sebetic. Both guys didn’t look awkward in COD drills.  Greg Reid was another player that displayed very good ball skills and quicks.

Speedy group of backers during this workout.  Brian Rolle moves like a Strong Safety showing very good acceleration and COD skills.  Three guys IMO had standout workouts: Jeremy Kimbrough, Scott Lutrus and Phillip Steward.  Both Kimbrough and Steward looked very good in the 5 bag agility drills and coverage drills.  Christopher Baker and Brandon Copeland looked impressive in pass rush drills, showing the ability to bend and accelerate.

7. Larry Black – Indiana

8. Marcus Forston – Miami

9. Jordan Miller – Southern U.

Workout Notes:

Rakim Cox looked to be in terrific shape and had a very good day overall.  There was a lot of ‘youth’ in his legs as he ran through drills.  The same can be said for Marcus Forston who was very explosive in bag agility drills.  Michael Sam, IMO, performed the same way he did at the Scouting Combine last year.  I’d even venture to say, despite the 40 time, he looked quicker.  Larry Black & Torell Troup also put together a pretty good day in drills.  Former 1st Round Pick Jamal Anderson bulked up a bit and had a very good sense of perspective during the post-workout interviews.

________

Workout Notes:

Randall Harris and Justin Wells moved extremely well in drills. Wells looked more like a ‘big TE’ as opposed to an OL because of how well he moved.  Deveric Gallington & Michael Golic were also a couple of standouts in drills. Golic is coming off a very good season with the Brooklyn Bolts in the inaugural FXFL.  Jason Foster had the fastest unofficial 40 time at 4.95.  I also came away impressed with former GVSU Laker Matt Armstrong, another FXFL standout.
