Two, four, six, eight….
Every year during the combine, a cheerleader competition is held in the adjacent convention center the same Sunday of the Combine. The hallway between the RCA Dome and the media center is filled with young cheerleaders who are awed by the football players and often gather around them for autographs as prospects make their way from station to station. It’s quite a site.
Several of the defensive backs have made their way in this morning. We’re still waiting on some of the top names, including Kansas quarterback Aqib Talib, Leodis McKelvin from Troy and Dominique Rogers-Cromartie from Tennessee State.
Notre Dame safety Thomas Zbikowski entertained reporters earlier this morning. Zbikowski has an interesting story. He’s a Gold Glove boxer who has currently stepped out of the ring for a while to pursue a career in the NFL.
Zbikowski provided the best line of the day when he was asked what went wrong for the Irish last season as they went 3-9.
“You got about two or three hours?” Zbikowski asked.
He then went on to explain that the program went through a transition last year with a lot of young players and he’s confident Charlie Weis will get them back on track next year.
Wide receivers are running the 40 right now and I’ll get times as soon as they’re posted.
