East-West Shrine game

the East-West Shrine game is this week, so here is a thread to discuss the prospects for this week. and any news coming out from the practices.

Terry Hawthorne - DB - Fighting Illini

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler pinpointed Illinois CB Terry Hawthorne as a player who stood out on the field during the first day of East-West Shrine practices.

Brugler also noted that Packers GM Ted Thompson is in attendance. Per Brugler, Hawthorne looked "fluid in his backpedal" and showed impressive "transition quickness" in coverage while "getting physical" with receivers. Hawthorne started 11-of-12 games as a senior, racking up four tackles for loss, one sack, and an interception. Rotoworld's Josh Norris believes Hawthorne is an early third-day prospect who could move up in the pre-draft process.

one guy im ready to see and hear from is Corey Fuller. Like the way he gets seperation from DBs, keeps speed in and out of cuts/breaks, and has the size and speed to be a #1 WR. was a track runner at Kansas for 2 years before transferring to Va Tech to play WR. had 43 catches for 800+ yards and 6 TDs this past year.

Every year there's a DB who shows out in these practices.. Norman did last year so did I believe Casey Hayward did as well

yep Hayward was at the senior bowl tho. but it is a 6'4 safety who played at Richmond that sounds interesting as well as the CB from Illinois.ready for the next 2 days.

Interesting that Marlon McCree is coaching the safeties for the East. Also noticed that Earl Wolff (Safety) had a good practice. I think Wolff has potential as a late round guy that may be worth looking at.

I am big on Wolff and not sure why "experts" don't have him ranked a bit higher. Yet they continue to say Robert Lester is a second day pick, baffling.
