Very curious about Allen and Rudolph's 40 times. And Hughes' when he runs it at ND's pro day.

I absolutely loves Hughes as a RB (just my own opinion). I wish he would have gotten an invite.

 

[Riddickulous]

I love Armando Allen, but with his history of injuries (senior year of high school and at least once in all of his final three seasons at Notre Dame), I doubt he'll last long in the NFL even if he does have the goods.

Ian Williams will be a solid backup, but not much of a starter, IMO.

Kyle Rudolph could be a dominant NFL tight end.

Robert Hughes (FB), Darrin Walls, and Brian Smith will all get a shot, even if only on the scout teams of their respective teams.

Rudolph, 10+ year NFL vet/Pro Bowler, possible 1st round but for sure 2nd.

Allen, I dont like his chances of getting drafted the first day, but with the right team, (Colts, Packers) could be steady player, if injury free.

Williams, solid backup, can see him fitting in (Dallas, Ravens), maybe 5th rounder.

Hughes, same thing with the right team? but undrafted.

There was an all-star game on today which I caught glimpses of in which Hughes and Stewart were playing. It is apparently for under-the-radar guys who are trying to impress NFL scouts. Both of them looked pretty good in what little I saw.

I'd also add Chris Stewart and Kerry Neal to the Rob Hughes list. I think Ian Williams will definitely be a rotational player on a D-line, like Laws and Abiamiri currently are.

I like armandos chances actually...he will be a late rounder but i could see him going the way of ryan grant one day

 

[sportallyr]

I would think that Chris Stewart might get a chance with some team. He's got great size and he's a pretty good run blocker. Not sure how he'd fare against the NFL pass rushers though.

 

[IMABCK]

I think Hughes will be a sleeper. Nothing dominate but a nice player. surprised if Rudolph can do much there. I think his injury will hamper him in some of the number things. Just my opinion, I wish him the best.

I think that Allen might surprise alot of people.

Agree.

Put Allen and Hughes in situations where they can use their skillsets instead of a stupid coach trying to use Allen as an every-down back or Hughes as a speedback and they will be very good pros.
