Atkins, Curran, Reshad Jones and Morgan Burnett could be second day guys.

I kinda like Atkins at a 3-4 DE prospect.

Jones is an interesting guy to replace Whitner and I dont think Curran could play SILB. I dont like Brunett at all, he takes horrible angles.

Since they probably aren't open to the public, I assume these are the first pro days you've been to?

Have fun!

They are not open to the public, and yes it is.


I was actually just planning on going to one of the smaller school ones this year but they asked if I minded going to UGA and GT to scout, time, take video, and interview and I said of course I would. I think Im getting a press pass, not sure yet though.

I'm a big fan of Demayrius Thomas. Doubt it would happen, but would be great to see him in Buffalo.

Dwyer ran a 4.55. Morgan only worked on DL drills and apparently what I read is that he looked winded.

I told them, they laughed.

I think Corey Chavous is going to be on the NFL Network Coverage and they'll be putting the site under his name whenever he speaks.

A few tidbits from my contact;

Dwyer ran a 4.52 and 4.55
Morgan did NOT looked tired to him after the drills, he feels as though that report is false.
Morgan Burnett stole the show but Cord Howard was one of the best players.

Two teams intently were working out Morgan, Buffalo was not one of them. You'll have to check out Draft Nasty for the rest of the information once its posted later on.

Some quick teasers for you guys though;

Jeff Owens is hysterical! He and I were joking around about his shoes before he ran his 40. He was wearing these extremely shiny silver shoes and I said to him that I liked his shoes and he laughed and said that you won't see any other lineman wearing kicks like these, he's a good guy. I asked him how many teams he's talked to and he said about 18. Asked to name a few and he said NYJ, and Jacksonville. Apparently Jacksonville has worked him out pretty hard by their DL coach. Spoken to both 4-3 and 3-4 teams and has been asked about playing the NT spot and he says the teams he has talked to believe he can do it.

The Buffalo Bills had nobody at this pro day, in total I saw 20 teams there;
Jacksonville
Miami
Seattle
Tennessee
Atlanta (HC Mike Smith and GM Thomas Dimitroff)
St. Louis
Houston
Tampa Bay
San Diego
Oakland
Arizona
Chicago
Indianapolis
New Orleans
Philadelphia
Carolina
Washington
New York Giants
Cincinnati
Minnesota
