    Yeah, but wasn't he with the Saints first? Maybe I'm making that up. Will have to look it up.

    Yep, I remembered it right. The Saints drafted him out of WVU in 2000.

    Sixty-nine SEC players will converge on Indianapolis this week for the NFL Scouting Combine, a final attempt before pro days to impress prospective teams with interviews, on-field workouts, measurements and psychological evaluations.

    Here are Thursday’s measurements from SEC quarterbacks, offensive linemen, running backs and wide receivers:

    SEC QB measurables


    • Blake Sims (Alabama): 5-foot-10, 218 pounds, 31.5-inch arms, 9-inch hands
    • Nick Marshall (Auburn): 6-foot-1, 207 pounds, 32 1/8-inch arms, 9 1/4-inch hands
    Listed at 6-foot, 208 pounds at Alabama, Crimson Tide quarterback Blake Sims is the shortest passer at the combine at 5-foot-10. Auburn’s Nick Marshall will work out at quarterback this weekend and will provide a few teams with workouts at cornerback.

    SEC OL measurables


    • Trenton Brown (Florida): 6-foot-8, 355 pounds, 36-inch arms, 10 7/8-inch hands
    • La’El Collins (LSU): 6-foot-4, 305 pounds, 33 1/4-inch arms, 10 3/8-inch hands
    • Reese Dismukes (Auburn): 6-foot-3, 296 pounds, 32 1/4-inch arms, 8 7/8-inch hands
    • A.J. Cann (South Carolina): 6-foot-4, 313 pounds, 32 5/8-inch arms, 10 1/4-inch hands
    • Max Garcia (Florida): 6-foot-4, 309 pounds, 33 1/8-inch arms, 10 1/4-inch hands
    • Chaz Green (Florida): 6-foot-5, 314 pounds, 33 3/8-inch arms, 10 1/4-inch hands
    • Jarvis Harrison (Texas A&M): 6-foot-4, 330 pounds, 33.5-inch arms, 9 3/4-inch hands
    • D.J. Humphries (Florida): 6-foot-5, 307 pounds, 33 5/8-inch arms, 10-inch hands
    • Arie Kouandjio (Alabama): 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, 34 1/8-inch arms, 10 7/8-inch hands
    • Darrian Miller (Kentucky): 6-foot-5, 307 pounds, 33-inch arms, 9 3/4-inch hands
    • Mitch Morse (Mizzou): 6-foot-5, 305 pounds, 32 1/4-inch arms, 9 1/4-inch hands
    • Cedric Ogbuehi (Texas A&M): 6-foot-5, 306 pounds, 35 7/8-inch arms, 10-inch hands
    • Corey Robinson (South Carolina): 6-foot-7, 324 pounds, 35 5/8-inch arms, 10 3/4-inch hands
    • Austin Shepherd (Alabama): 6-foot-4, 315 pounds, 32 7/8-inch arms, 10-inch hands
    Auburn center Reese Dismukes has the smallest hands of any offensive lineman in Indy at 8 7/8-inches and was one of three players to weigh in under 300 pounds which could prove detrimental to his stock. Florida’s Trenton Brown, one of four Gators up front at the combine, is the tallest blocker at 6-foot-8.

    SEC RB measurables


    • Mike Davis (South Carolina): 5-foot-9, 217 pounds, 30 1/4-inch arms, 9 3/8-inch hands
    • T.J. Yeldon (Alabama): 6-foot-1, 226 pounds, 31 2/8-inch arms, 9-inch hands
    • Cameron Artis-Payne (Auburn): 5-foot-10, 212 pounds, 29 5/8-inch arms, 8 7/8-inch hands
    • Josh Robinson (Mississippi State): 5-foot-8, 217 pounds, 29 3/4-inch arms, 10 1/8-inch hands
    • Todd Gurley (Georgia): 6-foot-1, 222 pounds, 31.5-inch arms, 10-inch hands

    • Kenny Hilliard (LSU): 6-foot, 226 pounds, 31 1/4-inch arms, 9 1/4-inch hands
    • Matt Jones (Florida): 6-foot-2, 231 pounds, 32-inch arms, 8 5/8-inch hands
    • Terrence Magee (LSU): 5-foot-8, 213 pounds, 30-inch arms, 9-inch hands
    • Marcus Murphy (Mizzou): 5-foot-8, 193 pounds, 31-inch arms, 8 5/8-inch hands
    • Trey Williams (Texas A&M): 5-foot-7, 195 pounds, 29 7/8-inch arms, 8 1/4-inch hands

    La'el, makes a good run.......

    NFL Combine: Collins makes early splash
    The offensive linemen began workouts at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on Friday morning, and former LSU offensive tackle La'el Collins was a participant in the first group of offensive linemen - and he quickly made a splash amongst the elite competition in attendance.

    In the 40-yard dash, Collins clocked a 5.13 and 5.16 with 10-yard splits of 1.81 and 1.86. His unofficial time of 5.13 is the second-best time of the morning thus far, trailing only Oregon offensive lineman Jake Fisher, who clocked a 5.01.

    Prior to the day's events, analyst Mike Mayock called Collins the best right tackle prospect available in this year's NFL Draft. Collins, who also completed 21 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press, is widely considered to become a first round draft selection.

    Stay tuned to Geaux247 for more on Collins' workouts, as well as full coverage from the other five former Tigers in attendance.

    So the article says that La'el is the best right tackle prospect in the draft. Of course I understand what makes a guy a tackle versus a guard but what makes a guy a better right tackle prospect than left tackle prospect?

    If you watch the draft, you'll see most LOT in college, they project as ROT in the Pros. Some that played LOT in college, OG in the Pros. Very few make it right into the left spot. The top LOT in the draft last year, Greg Robinson, the number 2 player taken in the first round. Started out at OG, oh, the Right Tackle is one guy you might know, Former LSU Player Joe Barksdale. And yes, don't know if Robinson could have beat Joe out for the job.

    One of the best LOT at LSU Andrew Whitworth started playing in the NFL from the OG position. More on Whit....
    Whitworth was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (55th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft. He made his NFL debut on special teams September 10 at Kansas City. He started at left guard in his second game, September 17 vs. the Cleveland Browns, as part of a line shuffle that saw left guard Eric Steinbach replace injured Levi Jones at left tackle. Whitworth helped Bengals pile up 481 yards against Browns, including 145 rushing yards by Rudi Johnson. He was in the starting lineup for the remainder of the season, in part due to the number of injuries that depleted the Bengals' offensive line. On November 12 vs. the San Diego Chargers, he helped the offense produce a season-high 545 yards and career-high 440 yards passing from Carson Palmer. He also had a key block on Rudi Johnson's seven-yard TD run in first quarter.

    On July 25, 2008, Whitworth agreed in principle to a four-year extension worth a reported $30 million that would keep him in Cincinnati through 2013.[2]

    In 2009, head coach Marvin Lewis decided to move Whitworth from guard to left tackle and saw immediate impact.


    Here is a little more, Greg did get into the LOT position, due to injury...

    St. Louis Rams counting on Greg Robinson, Tre Mason as building blocks

    Neither Greg Robinson nor Tre Mason was in the starting lineup for the St. Louis Rams' first four games of the 2014 season, even though Robinson was the second player picked in last year's NFL Draft and Mason joined the team in the third round. When the Rams kick off the 2015 season on Sept. 13, St. Louis general manager Les Snead expects both of the former Auburn stars to be in the lineup.

    The Rams think they found a couple of building blocks with their twin Auburn picks in last year's draft. St. Louis went 6-10 in 2014 - its 11th consecutive season without a winning record. The Rams haven't been to the playoffs since 2004. Snead has been St. Louis' general manager since 2012. He's a former All-State offensive lineman at Eufaula High School in 1988 and played at Troy and Auburn.

    During a press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday, Snead said Robinson would be St. Louis' left offensive tackle in 2015. The Rams took Robinson with the No. 2 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft even though they had a former No. 1 pick, Jake Long, at left offensive tackle, the position Robinson played at Auburn.

    Because Long was recovering from knee surgery, Robinson got work at left offensive tackle in the offseason workouts, training camp and preseason games, but he got more work at left guard, where St. Louis intended he would start. Robinson hardly played in the first four games of the regular season, then started three games at left guard. When Long suffered a season-ending knee injury in the seventh game, Robinson shifted to the opening and started the final nine games of the season at left offensive tackle.

    "One of the reasons we took Greg was because we knew he's got a future home at left tackle," Snead told reporters at the NFL Combine. "But at the point in time Jake was healthy, we were going to put him at guard because he was one of our best five, and we thought that would only help him evolve as he adjusted to our NFL game. But at this point in time, he'll stay at left tackle and go from there."
