Whitworth TE surprises at NFL Combine

Yes, college basketball is the main focus of most sports fans right now. But let’s not forget that the NFL offseason is in full swing, as evidenced by the college combine and the impending free agency period. I was reading through ESPN.com’s Todd McShay’s most recent observations from the combine, and found a little blurb about a Division III tight end. McShay writes:

Whitworth TE Michael Allan has emerged as one of the most captivating stories of the 2007 combine. The first Division-III prospect invited to the NFL scouting combine since WR Ryan Hoag in 2003, Allan proved worthy of the invitation when he ran the second-best 40-yard time (4.71) of the entire tight end group. He is raw and he doesn’t show ideal lateral quickness, but Allan has the size, speed and hands to warrant draft consideration on the second day.

Allan recorded 53 receptions for 1,100 yards and nine touchdowns in his senior campaign. He is also featured on d3football.com, which links to an NBC video of him working out in preparation for the draft.

Expect more updates on Allan as the date of the NFL draft approaches.

    I remember Michael Allen. He didn’t quite make it, did he? Not that I can recall anyway.
