Just some quick thoughts from Day 2 of the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis:
- Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland ran the 2nd fastest WR 40 time this century (4.3 seconds). Pretty impressive. He may have just moved himself ahead of Florida's Percy Harvin as the #3 receiver in the draft.
- Syracuse's Tony Fiammetta is the top-ranked fullback now, after completing more bench press reps (30 at 225 lbs.) than any other back. Couple that with an impressive Senior Bowl week, and he should get drafted.
- Slow running back class this year. No Chris Johnson in this class. Ian Johnson of Boise St. impressed me most.
- Easily the most impressive performance of the day came from West Virginia QB Pat White. Working only as a QB (he will show off WR skill at his pro day), White wowed scouts in almost all of the drills. His most impressive display came in the throwing drills however. White showed better touch and accuracy than USC's Mark Sanchez, who is fighting to be the #1 pick. Some team will get a steal in White, whether it is as a pure wideout (Heins Ward or Antwaan Randel-El), or as a backup QB and part-time wideout (Seneca Wallace).
Defensive drills start tomorrow at 11 am ET.
