If you play college football well in the state of Texas, you'll be compared to a member of the Dallas Cowboys.
Von Miller, rated as the No. 1 linebacking prospect by NFL Network's Mike Mayock, has been dubbed as the next DeMarcus Ware. And why not, after Miller recorded 27.5 sacks in the past two seasons for Texas A&M.
In the Scouting Combine, he showed his abilities in both tangible and intangible ways. He ran an official time of 4.53 on the 40-yard dash and posted a 10'6" broad jump and 37" vertical leap.
On an agility drill, he did slip on an Agile 1 pad. However, he continued through the drill unscathed. This is a good sign because, at times, things won't go your way in the NFL.
He showed that he can make adjustments when put in such situations.
Good News, Bad News on the Bench Press
The good news: Oregon State defensive tackle now holds a new Combine record with 49 reps.
The bad news: Oregon linebacker Casey Matthews could not work out today because he injured his shoulder on the bench press Saturday.
For the Fighting Illini Fans...
Linebacker Martez Wilson, dubbed the No. 1 inside linebacker prospect by Mayock, posted the fastest time on the 40-yard dash out of all the linebackers at the Combine -- 4.49.
