Added Combine workout videos in original post for:
Hopkins, Swearinger, Bonner, Jones, Klein, Wood, Winn and Graham. There were no videos posted for the other guys.
I was happy they had a video of Bonner because game footage on him is lacking. Unfortunately, they only show Jones running his 40. I really think they both have an excellent shot at making this team and getting PT. Bonner seems to have the ideal body type for the slot. Definitely has more muscle mass (and probably tatts) than KMart. Hopefully his 2nd timed 40 speed is more indicative of his actual game speed (and he can catch the ball, of course).
Added video profiles for:
Ja'Gared Davis, Zach Boren and Dennis Johnson
Re: Boren - I see him as our FB of the future and a killer ST player. Interesting note on him; he started out at OSU as a LB and I think he might have played LB some his senior year. His dad played LB at Michigan. Could he be the missing ILB from our draft? Doubt it, but food for thought.
Re: Davis - Obviously these vids are one-sided and he wasn't drafted for a reason, but man, he sure looks the part of a LB. Super aggressive and looks to have good instincts. IDK, maybe it's just me, but this kid has an on-field presence about him that's hard to explain. Whether it's his body language and/or the speed of his game, he's very noticeable and I could pick out which one he was on the field thru the far angle/grainy clips before they even lined up and started the play. I'm interested in seeing more of this kid in camp.
This is one heck of UDFA RB class, IMO. The way I see this shaking out in camp is:
Power: Wood vs. Winn - and - Speed: Graham vs. Johnson (maybe even Bonner competing w/those two)
I think we keep 1 or both of the power guys and only 1 of the speed guys. I could also see them trying to convert Winn to FB/HB.
On another note, looking at these UDFA's, our STs should be much improved next year if Marciano has any coaching skills at all (chime in chuck
).
