Count Mayock Among Ryan's Admirers

File Under: Chris Long, Al Groh, Darren McFadden, Matt Ryan, Pete Carroll, Limas Sweed, Devin Thomas, pro day

Over the past couple of days, we’ve heard a lot about Boston College QB Matt Ryan, Virginia DE/OLB Chris Long and Arkansas RB Darren McFadden. While Ryan and Long performed well at their respective workouts, the Hogs won’t host their pro day until next Tuesday.

After electing not to play in the Senior Bowl and then declining to throw at the NFL Combine, Ryan reportedly completed 48 of 52 pass… More

Some Pro Days and What They Portend

File Under: Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Matt Ryan, Vernon Gholston, Jake Darren McFadden

Let’s take a break from free agency for a minute (even if the Jets are still exploring all their options) and use this space to discuss the upcoming draft. As pro day numbers continue to file in, I’m thinking Jets Nation must be pretty happy about their position in the draft.

Gholston Makes His Combine Entrance

File Under: Indianapolis, Ohio State, Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Sedrick Ellis, Vernon Gholston, NFL Scouting Combine

The defense arrived at the NFL Scouting Combine this morning. And right around noon, a player wearing the perhaps misleading code number of DL22 drew a crowd at the podium in the Indianapolis Convention Center.

Vernon Gholston is in the house.

Gholston is listed as a defensive lineman at the combine, and he was considered a DE at Ohio State. But OSU and college fans know he's more than that. He … More

Kicking Off Our Combine Coverage

File Under: Mike Tannenbaum, Eric Mangini, Chris Long, Darren McFadden, Sedrick Ellis, Vernon Gholston, combine workouts

It's been fairly quiet around the Jets' training complex recently, with coaches and scouts and a few players coming and going but most of the players still chillin' until the off-season strength and conditioning program begins next month.

But unrestricted free agency and the draft beckon, so the chatter will start to increase again, beginning this week. I'll be traveling to the NFL Combine workou… More
