NFL Combine

So the NFL combine was/is going on, and it's been a good weekend for the Illini's two invites to the combine.

Rashard Mendenhall (who I love sooooo much) helped solidify his first round status moving his way up to the 13th best player in the draft according to Mel Kiper and the second best running back behind McFadden out of Arkansas. He was consistently in the top performers in the combine events and his size/speed combo makes scouts drool.

J. Leman didn't wow statistically, but I still love the guy. He is considered a top ten linebacker, and hopefully his moxy will gain him a bit more credit.
