January 25, 2008 Senior Bowl - Friday North Walk Through
Scott Wright
President, NFL Draft Countdown
As usual it was cold and windy this morning at Ladd-Peebles Stadium as the North team took the field for their walk-through. These are usually pretty uneventful and today was certainly no exception. There really isn't much to report but here are a few observations:
• For the most part the team just practiced their substitution patterns and situations.
• Arizona St. center Mike Pollak caught a touchdown pass from punter Mike Dragosavich in a field goal fire drill.
• It didn't look like Virginia Tech wideout Eddie Royal was participating much.
• Purdue wide receiver Dorien Bryant was real jovial, joking around and keeping a smile on the faces of his fellow wideouts. He is pretty outgoing.
• Raiders coach Lane Kiffin is awfully quiet on the field, letting his assistants do most of the heavy lifting while he hangs back and takes everything in. He was like that all week.
• It looks like Michigan quarterback Chad Henne will be starting for the North.
• From what I could tell the North's starting defense will be as follows:
Defensive Line: Sedrick Ellis, DeMario Pressley, Lawrence Jackson, Cliff Avril Linebackers: Keith Rivers, Dan Connor, Xavier Adibi Secondary: Tracy Porter, Terrell Thomas, Thomas DeCoud, Tom Zbikowski
And that's about it. The week is basically over and all that is left now is the game tomorrow. There is still plenty of coverage to come from NFL Draft Countdown though, including a look at who helped and hurt their stock the most this week and an in-depth, comprehensive review. So be sure to stop back for that and more and enjoy the game!
