I like Joe G-H's prospects for the NFL...

[Bob Green]

I'm glad to see Daniel Helm get the invite. It would be great to see him drafted and stick with a team.

Joe Giles-Harris being invited is a solid indication his rehab has seen satisfactory progression. Or, am I reading too much into this?

Daniel Jones needs to shine at the combine to cement his spot as a 1st Round pick.

I hope you are right, but it could also mean they want to at least interview him and have doctors check him out.

Why not Ben Humphries? Does he have other plans, like med school?

Humphries is not rated as high as Giles Harris - I think Giles Harris is faster. Humphries is a stud, however, and it wouldn't shock me if he ends up in the NFL for a while.

Humhreys is evidently done with football...he put a lot of abuse on his body...terrific college player but I think not quite big enough for the NFL...(not sure he weighed as much as he was listed at...)

Very few do. Excepting maybe Zion!

Hell I'd love to see Zion play some TE. Think what he could do for our Football team.

RB on third and inches at the goal line. Watch him leap over both lines into the end zone.

That would be more dangerous...than a simple little alley oop from the TE position. Height, strength, great hands, leap tall buildings in a single bound...he'd be totally unstoppable as a TE.I think you would project him to be a bigger more athletic more explosive Antonio Gates.

With regards to Giles-Harris, I thought he was close back for the bowl game. I would have been surprised if he weren't healthy enough to participate in the combine by now.

[TruBlu]

Just put him on the field. Other team forfeits.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Combine starts today. Good luck to our guys!

Any news trickling out about our guys yet?

I haven't heard anything -- here is the schedule. On-field work-outs are Fri., Sat., Sun, and Mon. -- depending on position. Makes sense that the QBs are teamed up with the receivers. "ST" is special teams, I guess -- is there anyone but kickers invited just for special teams play?

Jones has the most cinder blocks. In an article discussing Murray's short stature, the other QBs were brought up.

Other quarterbacks at the combine had more prototypical size. Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins measured 6-foot-3⅜ and 231 pounds. Missouri's Drew Lock was 6-foot-3¾, 228, and Duke's Daniel Jones was 6-foot-5⅛, 221 pounds.

If Daniel Jones were a basketball player, he would be listed as 6-7.

To save a click, Kyler Murray came in at 5-10 1/8, one-half inch shorter than the Seahawks' Russell Wilson and two inches shorter than Drew Brees. (Due to the pounding in the NFL, it is possible both are even shorter now.)

yup, at one point Josh Hairston made himself 6-9 (pre-Duke).

A lot of people expected him to clock in at under 5-10, so this is actually a win for him.

He's too tall for QB...gonna have to convert to TE.
