Pro Day

A handful of pro scouts were on hand this morning for NDSU's annual Pro Day. Getting the twice-over were cornerback David Earl, linebacker Joe Mays, quarterback Steve Walker, running back Cinque Chapman and two players from UND: receiver Weston Dressler and cornerback Donovan Alexander.

Mays got quite the workout, both at linebacker and at fullback. Just when you think the guy can't physically look better, he does. He measured 5-10 1/2 and 245 pounds.

The most impressive performance was by Dressler, who showed great hands on passing drills from Walker and lightning-quick feet on the shuttle run drills. I'm guessing he opened a couple of scouts' eyes. He was listed as 5-foot-8 on the UND roster, but was measured in the 5-6 to 5-7 range on Monday and it remains to be seen how much of a factor height will be. The scouts had him field some punts at the end of the session, so perhaps that could be his key.

Anyway, here's some tale of the tape from the workouts that I was able to compile:

David Earl -- vertical jump: 31 inches. Bench press: 225 pounds 13 times. Broad jump: 9-5 1/2. 40: 4.50.

Joe Mays -- vertical jump: 33 1/2. Bench press: 21 times. Broad jump: 9-3. 40: 4.7.

Steve Walker -- vertical jump: 25 1/2. Broad jump: 8-8 1/2. 40: 4.84.

Cinque Chapman -- vertical jump 32 1/2. Bench press: 10 times. Broad jump: 9-4.

Donovan Alexander -- vertical jump: 37. Bench press: 11 times. Broad jump: 10-5.

Weston Dressler -- Vertical jump: 35. Bench press: 9 times. Broad jump: 9-5.

What do you tink Dressler's chances are in the NFL? Some compare him to Wes Welker but the big difference I see is their weight. Welker is at 185 while Dressler is 151. I never saw him play but his numbers and impact were pretty impressive.

151 sounds a bit low. ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=194789) has him at 165, but they also have his height at 5'8" which I believe is a bit high. I've always heard he was only 5'7". I would have to say objectively that the odds of a WR that size making it in the NFL are pretty slim, but you never know. If it doesn't work out I'm sure he could be an impact player in the CFL.

Joe can make a great FB...seeing that he almost returned a kick off against SDSU
