INDIANAPOLIS — Russ Lande and his team of former NFL scouts take a look at some of the players most affected by what happened on the scales.
With a bullet: Expect Bruce Campbell to rocket up some boards.
• Maryland OT Bruce Campbell has been the early star of the Combine. He was impressive at Friday’s weigh-in, then stunned scouts on Saturday. Campbell ran the 40 in 4.85 seconds, and in position drills he looked like the elite athlete he is built to be.
• Oklahoma’s Trent Williams, one of the top-rated tackles entering the Combine, showed elite quickness in the kick-slide drills and ran a 4.88 40, putting to rest any questions that he isn’t athletic enough to play left tackle in the NFL.
• While some still list Indiana OL Rodger Saffold at guard, he was the most impressive left tackle during the postseason all-star games. He continued to improve his stock Saturday, showing great quickness and agility in position drills.
• Pitt TE Dorin Dickerson ran a blazing 40 (unofficially 4.40 seconds) and produced a 43-inch vertical jump, both of which will likely improve his stock. When we evaluated him on film and at the Senior Bowl, however, he looked to be more of a straight-line athlete who does not show the fluidity in his hips, even as a tight end, to consistently gain separation against NFL linebackers.
For information and analysis on these and many other players, see the latest Combine Dish in SN’s Pro Football War Room.
