sorry if this is germans. This is from an NFL writer on March 8th discussing our pro day.
A<span style="font-style: italic;">t the Mississippi State pro day, several of the Bulldogs who
participated at the combine were able to improve their 40 time, but the
story remains Fletcher Cox.</span></p> <p style="font-style: italic;">The athletic defensive lineman
stood on his impressive combine numbers, but looked outstanding in
drills. Today's display, coupled with his ability to line up at three
different spots on the defensive line, could push Cox into the top 10 of
the first round.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Running back Vick Ballard and safety
Charles Mitchell, who both ran 4.64 seconds in Indianapolis, timed in
the mid 4.5s today. Ballard also improved his time in the three-cone,
clocking 6.90 seconds compared to 7.04 at the combine.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Offensive
tackle James Carmon turned a few heads today. He measured a massive 6-6
and 330 pounds, timed 5.24 seconds in the forty and 4.17 seconds in the
short shuttle and completed 22 reps on the bench. Carmon came to
Mississippi State as a defensive lineman from Mississippi Gulf Coast
Community College and totaled eight tackles while blocking a kick in
2010. He moved to the offensive line as a senior and held down the left
tackle position for the Bulldogs all last year. Scouts feel his upside
is enormous and fully expect Carmon to make an NFL roster in one form or
another this coming season.</p>
