NFL Combine Recap: Ohio State Buckeyes
The linebackers worked out yesterday in Indianapolis and on hand for the Buckeyes were Marcus Freeman and James Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis was what everybody thought he was- an All-American, master technician, brilliant in pass coverage, and just a step slower than the fastest guys. The real story was Marcus Freeman, who like Brian Robiskie the day before, probably helped his draft position by at least a round.
Freeman ran the drills very well looking very smooth with quick transitions and good overall speed. His 40-time of 4.74 was enough for 7th best overall among the Linebackers (tied with Brian Cushing from USC). Incidentally, there’s an interesting thread over at Rivals about whether or not Cushing is on roids and here’s a funny throwback post of him coming out of college.
Freeman also tied Cushing for the best bench press (30 reps), tied Aaron Curry for the best vertical jump (37 inches), 4th best on the 3-cone drill (6.98 seconds), and best of the linebackers on the 20-yard shuttle (4.12 seconds).
The DB’s are up today so time for Malcolm Jenkins to shine. Here’s an article indicating Jenkins may have quite a bit to prove.
On the non-Buckeye front, Virginia LB Aaron Curry proved to be the best of the bunch, at least athletically. He looks to have all the tools to be a Pro-Bowler in his first year in the league, and might be the best overall player in the draft this year.
You’re welcome.
