NFL | Braxton Miller proves athleticism
Ohio State WR Braxton Miller was tops among wide receivers at the NFL Combine in the 20-yard shuttle (4.07 seconds) and 60-yard shuttle (10.84 seconds). He also finished third in the three-cone drill at 6.65 seconds.
Rams | Case Keenum could receive tender
Los Angeles Rams QB Case Keenum could be given a first or second-round tender, according to ESPN.com’s Nick Wagoner. In doing so, the Rams would get a valuable draft pick if they don’t want to match another team that wants to sign him.
Cowboys | Tony Romo expected to stay around
Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (clavicle) is expected to be the Cowboys’ starting quarterback for the next four to five years, according to owner Jerry Jones.
NFL | Corey Coleman impresses without running
Baylor WR Corey Coleman (hernia) posted a 40.5-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot, 9-inch broad jump at the NFL Combine two months after undergoing surgery. Coleman will jump again at his pro day.
NFL | Jaylon Smith’s health a concern
Notre Dame LB Jaylon Smith (knee) has been taken off the draft board by three teams so far due to concerns regarding his knee injury, according to sources. Smith is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and torn lateral collateral ligament and may miss all of the 2016 season. Smith added that he did not suffer any nerve damage with the injury and is confident he’ll return at 100%, he just doesn’t know when that will be.
Footballguys View: Smith could have been the first-overall pick if not for this injury (which happened on a cheap shot). Now, he may fall to the second or third day of the draft. However, there’s still a chance that Smith could go off the board in the late first round. His natural talent is off the charts. If healthy, Smith can play any linebacker position and star in coverage, run-defense and as a pass-rusher.
