Bulldogs have some bite NFL defenders to more
orkout, as scouts will, Green did double-catch multiple passes, however, with the ball bouncing off his hands slightly before grabbing it the second time. He also allowed a couple of throws too far into his body, which would allow NFL defenders to more easily jostle it from his possession.He did not face press coverage today, though quarterback coach George Whitfield (who is working with Roper), did stand in front of Green off the snap to show the receiver's ability to escape against press-bail. That is something the lean Green will have to show he can do before going up against physical NFL cornerbacks and is one factor that might cost him the number one spot on teams' receiver rankings to Alabama stud receiver Julio Jones, who is much thicker and put up superior Combine numbers in February.But anyone watching Green Tuesday saw the elite fluidity, length, and hands that will put him as the top receiver on at least some teams' boards -- and ensure his coming off the board very early come April 28th.On a side . nfl wholesale ote, NFL scouts got the same view of the pro day as anyone watching the workout on ESPN3 because Roper did not play in the state of Georgia and his hometown of Buford, Georgia is not within 40 miles of the Athens campus (46.2 miles according to Google Maps). It's an arcane rule that makes little sense--maybe this incident will cause it to be changed.--Contributed by NFLDraftScout Senior Analyst Chad ReuterThe future of Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd's career is uncertain following an arrest early Sunday morning by campus police on a charge of drinking and driving, according to a report from Eric Hansen of the South Bend Tribune. Floyd surprised many by announcing he would return for his senior season, but now his ability to play for the Irish in 2011 is in serious doubt. This is Floyd's second arrest since signing with Notre Dame. He was previously arrested for underage drinking in his hometown of Saint Paul, Minn. As Hansen notes in his articl. cheap jerseyse, Notre Dame's athletic department does not inve Chad Reuter has him going 25th overall to the Seattle Seahawks . This is a relatively down year of prospects for the Gators, with only two other Florida prospects being viewed as potential middle round prospects. Another lineman, Marcus Gilbert, could make the third round. The 6-6, 330 pounder helped his cause, according to the scout with a solid performance today. A left tackle for the Gators, he projects best on the right side in the NFL. Perhaps the player with the most on the line in today's workout was safety Ahmad Black. The diminutive Black (5-09, 184) needed a strong workout today to erase the concerns that were raised at the Combine due to disappointing times in the 40-yard dash. Black registered between 4.70-4.82 at Indianapolis and wasn't much faster in Gainesville today, unfortunately. Scouts love his instincts and penchant f. NFL Jerseysfor the game-changing play, but in posting another pair of 4.7s in the forty (my source had him at 4.74, 4.76), he could slip to the last two rounds of the draft. "The kid plays fast, there's no question. But at that size and speed, it is going to be tough to convince a DB coach to get on board during [draft] meetings," the source said about Black. As I noted last night , Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas would not be working out for scouts during his school's Pro Day workout today. Thomas is still struggling with the same hamstring problems that kept him out of the Senior Bowl and sidelined for the Scouting Combine in late February. He has, however, announced a new date for his workout -- April 5 at the Kansas State facility. His workout is scheduled to begin at 2 pm CT. Thomas, a junior college quarterback, has been spectacularly productive for the Wildcats, rushing for a combined 2,850 yards and scoring 30 touchdowns on the ground. He earned First Team All Big-12 honors after each of the past two seasons. Despite his production, teams have concerns about the 6-0, 225 pound Thomas' pure speed. He has been estimated by scouts in the 4.55-4.65 range. A significantly faster or
