Job interview day for 2015 UConn seniors
http://runwayramblings.blogspot.com/2016/03/job-interview-day-for-2015-uconn-seniors.html

>>The star of the day was clearly safety Junior Lee. I was standing next to a pair of scouts as Lee walked up for his first of two vertical jumps. "Watch this, this will be a 36" one of them said. Two jumps later and Lee had the best leap of the day at 37 inches and the scout basically delivered a "I told you so" line.

Lee also a 10-6 in the broad jump and 4.50 in the 40. His numbers would have tied him for third in the 40, fourth in the broad jump and fifth in the vertical among safeties had he gone to the NFL scouting combine.<<

#UConn's Junior Lee after pro day: "I already started shaking some hands. Hopefully I start getting some contacts & get a chance."

Me thinking that going forward, the days of no UConn presence at the combine is over so long as Balis is here.

 

[FASTEDDY]

Those days should have ben over considering what Jones did @ Combine last year.

Byron Jones and Geremy Davis were there last year. Just a one year no show this year. Didn't have any outstanding seniors if you think about it. That will certainly change in the coming years.

Me agrees.

Scouts realizing Lee not being at the Combine was a mistake. An electric showing here today though puts him right into the draft conversation. He will be fine. Adams looks like a UFA. The others have a very uphill battle I think.

With Lee's numbers today, Byron tearing up the Combine last year and Blidi, Gratz, McClain, Branch and Butler all holding NFL gigs, our secondary guys will always be looked at.

I hope so. I read a couple articles stating that Blidi and Gratz are being relegated to back ups at best and Butler is only playing nickel. I don't know if any of that is true, but I think it's all of our defense will get a look not just secondary because we've always been known as having a defensive mentality first.

They may be relegated to backup jobs. But so is McClain. Branch doesn't play every down anymore due to injury concerns, himself. But the point is that they're there in the league... Off the top of my head, the secondary is by far the biggest position group we have in the league, I think.

Good point. I'm not trying to bring them down. I just don't think they're on the right teams. Gratz and Blidi could be starters elsewhere, I think they need the right situation and they'll excel. Hopefully Lee and Adams stick somewhere so I can add their jersey to my collection.
