PRO COLLEGE FOOTBALL DRAFT ELIGIBLE SENIORS EVALUATION CAMP 2/09 LAS VEGAS, NV
Player showed strength and leg quickness. Good explosion. Weather was windy but player hit a big first ball then had some trouble with wind. Can dramatically improve with technique work. Footwork mostly and alignment. Sort of sidewinding slightly now moves his hips around but player says he's determined to work.
