O'Leary probably the favourite, he has 3 TD's and 465 yards. Definitely a down year for TE's in CFB.

He will probably be the only ND player invited.

Riggs and Lombard should be invited to the Shrine game though.

Lombard's career is over buddy.

It has been reported that that is the case. However, Kelly has said otherwise, or at least has not confirmed this notion.

Senior bowl about to start. Haven't heard how his week went. Which means he hasn't impressed or hurt his stock

Has had a rough week.

Buzz-worthy, buzz-kill players from Day 3 at the Senior Bowl - NFL.com

Buzz-kill players

Ben Koyack, TE, Notre Dame
Koyack came into the week with mixed reviews from scouts, but it's hard to find many personnel men who have anything positive to say about his week of practice. Koyack struggled in one-on-one blocking drills Thursday and looked stiff and slow in his routes, according to several scouts. While Walford solidified his draft standing, Koyack appears to have hurt his stock.

Damn that stinks. That's a shame because he is usually a good blocker. Still thinks he gets drafted.

Small matter, but if I was a scout I'd have at least made a note about it: on one play the QB {Baylor's?} threw a horrible pass WAY behind Ben, and the pass was intercepted. Ben never lost his "game-mind" even in a wild gyrating effort, and tried to get back into the ball to stop the intercept. He couldn't, but there are many players who do not make the effort all the way to the end of plays. I value effort and continue-to-whistle's-end energy and mental presence as a big signal that I'm looking at a jock and a winner. That should mean a little something at least. Still hoping that Ben gets his NFL shot, and with the success of TE types in the new "big-receiver offenses", I think that he will.

To be honest, I'd be surprised if he didn't get drafted, let alone given a shot. He has #2 TE written all over him.

Measured in a 6'5'' 255 at the combine.

32 5/8" arm length (average) and 10 3/4" inch hands, Tied for 2nd for TEs at combine.

He's like a T-Rex with those little stubs... no wonder basketball didn't work out for him. 10 3/4" hands are good though.

Do they measure wingspan?

Is Ben not working out at the combine? I've seen 40 times and bench press numbers posted for all TE's except for him.
