HOUSTON -- The tempo picked up on Tuesday as both squads practiced for approximately two hours in full pads. While many players are standing out for reasons both good and bad, the story of the week thus far has been the play of Coastal Carolina WR Jerome Simpson. The small-school prospect entered the week with a fair amount of hype after dominating his level of competition the past four seasons. He turned some heads during the weigh-in session on Monday, when the 6-foot-1½, 193-pounder measured the longest arms (35 5/8 inches) and second-biggest hands (10 3/8”). He has carried that momentum over to the practice field, where he is showcasing undoubtedly the most reliable hands of any receiver here this week.
Don't be surprised to hear his named called as early as the second round. Simpson will be worth the risk.
