Combine Preview

The 2012 NFL combine started yesterday in Indianapolis. This is the part of the offseason where we let numbers typically change what our eyes have told us. Sometimes the numbers reassure what our eyes have confirmed after watching a season of college football but usually this is event showcases the best athletes and not necessarily the best players.
Here are a few “workout warriors” to look forward to watching during the combine.

Kendall Wright, WR Baylor
Wright benefited from Robert Griffith III’s breakout season. He caught 108 passes for an astonishing 1,663 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has track speed and will likely wow many scouts.

Mohamed Sanu WR Rutgers
Sanu is quite an athlete. He originally came to Rutgers as a safety but quickly moved to the offensive side of the ball. While his primary position was receiver, Rutgers also used him at running back in the 2010-11 season. He caught 115 catches this season for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns. He stands at a solid 6’2 and weighs about 215 lbs. Scouts will definitely be watching his combine numbers.

Mike Martin, DT Michigan
Mike Martin is flat out strong. Like really really strong. The Michigan powerhouse is 6’2 300 lbs and plans on breaking the bench press record at the combine this year.

Brock Osweiler, QB Arizona St
Osweiler catches many peoples eye with his height. He stands at a very tall 6’8 and is a solid 240 lbs. He has a strong arm and is clearly a pocket passer. His physical attributes alone have some believing a team will take a chance on him in the late first round/early second round area. While his 2/1 touchdown to turnover ratio is not great, you can not teach size and arm strength. Think Joe Flacco.
