Pro Day: Utah State DBs Randle, Coleman shine for scouts

Published on March 7, 2011 by Seahawk Fanatic     

There hasn’t been a Utah State player selected in the NFL Draft since 2007, when G Shawn Murphy was chosen in the fourth round and WR Kevin Robinson in the sixth, but that didn’t stop 14 NFL teams from showing up March 3 in hopes of finding the next Donald Penn. The Buccaneers’ offensive tackle and former Aggie, undrafted in 2007, went to his first Pro Bowl in 2010.

Twelve players worked out Thursday indoors on FieldTurf.  Top prospect Curtis Marsh was not among them. The cornerback will work out at Utah State’s second pro day, to be held March 29.

Among the notable performances:

CB Chris Randle (5-foot-10½, 191 pounds) — Randle ran a 4.59 and 4.62 in the 40-yard dash, 4.48 in the short shuttle and a 7.21 in the three-cone drill. He had a 10-foot, 7-inch broad jump, 37-inch vertical jump and posted 14 bench-press repititions at 225 pounds.

S Rajric Coleman (6-foot-0 7/8, 196) — Coleman ran a 4.50 and 4.59 in the 40, a 4.30 short shuttle and a 7.24 three-cone drill. He recorded a 9-foot, 11-inch broad jump, 34.5-inch vertical jump and 11 reps on the bench.

QB Diondre Borel (6-foot, 199) — Borel, trying to catch on as a wide receiver in the pros, ran a 4.53 and 4.50 in the 40, a 4.30 short shuttle and 7.24-second three-cone drill. He had a 9-foot, 11-inch broad jump, 32.5-inch vertical jump and 11 bench-press reps.

Other schools holding pro days March 3 were Wyoming and Division II Lindenwood.
