I'm sure one of the Scouting gurus here on Billszone has heard of this guy... What do you guys think of this RB, Deji Karim? Can anyone share some insight on him?
Scout.com has learned that the Eagles worked out Southern Illinois running back Deji Karim on March 31st and that they will also bring him to Philadelphia for a visit on April 6th and 7th.
A Scouting Combine snub, the 5-foot-9, 209-pound Karim put together one of the best individual workouts of the offseason. He amazed scouts with his 4.40 speed in the 40, 43-inch vertical and 10-foot-3-inch broad jump. There are some who will confuse Karim with being a scat back, but don’t let his size fool you – he also benched 225 pounds 19 times in front of scouts at his Pro Day...
Karim participated in the Texas vs. The Nation Game and put together a solid week of practice. He showed his versatility as a runner and a receiver, and impressed scouts with his burst. His burst and explosion are what scouts are so intrigued with, and he displayed those skills at the Northwestern and Southern Illinois Pro Days.
The Eagles have scheduled a private workout with him.
