NFL Combine

So many lives on the line, careers to be made and maybe broken.
So excited about the combine coming up this week.
This is where we find out who the weak are and who the strong are. Young athletes work and strive and slave to get to this point. The doorway to Sunday. Every aspect poked and prodded and examined. Drills ran, reps counted and questions answered and brains boggled.

I tell ya, I am really looking forward to keeping a close eye on a select few in anxious wait to see how they fare.

Matt Barkley, Senior USC Trojans
12,327 yards, 116 touchdowns, 48 int (career)
Matt's best year was his junior year where he threw for 3528 yards 39 touchdowns and only 7 picks, with an overall rating of 161.2.

Geno Smith, Senior West Virginia Mountaineers
11,662 yards, 98 touchdowns, 21 INT
Geno saved his best for last recording 4205 yards, 42 touchdowns and just 6 picks and an overall rating of 163.9. He is fast with a strong arm, I'm anxious to see how fast, how strong and maybe most importantly how accurate he is.

Notre Dame's Manti Te'o is on every one's watch with 101 tackles and 7 INT's his senior year. He was the recipient of 7 awards including the Bendarik and the Butkus Awards. He also came in a mere second in the Heisman running.

Jarvis Jones is another however he is skipping the combine activities to focus on his pro day.
So, Alec Ogletree, 6'3" inside linebacker from Georgia is another to watch. 4.5 forty time (UO) finished his junior year with 99 tackles and 1 pick. (I kinda think he would be a top 5 pick if he stayed his senior year, but what ya gonna do?)

These are four of my watch list, tell me who you have on your board for your teams!
