Rutgers cornerback Devin McCourty did a good job at the NFL scouting combine. He nay has the chance to wear the NFL jersey.
His official time wound up being a 4.48, continuing the mystery at the combine between the scouts’ hand times and the electronic times. NFL teams use their own times. McCourty did extremely well in the drills, according to a source, enough so that he’s in the conversation as a late first-round draft pick. He had 14 formal interviews with NFL teams, including the Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and the San Diego Chargers.
"Aside from being a very good corner, he might be the best special-teams player in the whole draft from a return perspective, gunner, jammer, makes tackles," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. "You get quite a package if you draft Devin.”

Combine interviews are welcomed
It is said taht the interviews of the players with NFL jerseys, coaches and so on will be combined.
Their agents spend a lot of time and money making sure their client is prepared for whatever might come up during an interview. NFL teams are looking for candor and will try to trip a player up on occasion or run the old good-cop, bad-cop routine. The idea is to delve into a player’s mental makeup to learn as much as possible about the player’s character and personality.
"All of the other things have a degree of importance but again, as this thing has changed, the players and the agents have taught themselves that they need to prepare for this event more specifically."

Tom Cable won't be punished
Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable would not be disciplined after the NFL investigating him for an altercation with assistant coach Randy Hanson and violence against women.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the Associated Press that Cable's confrontation with Hanson, which was first reported by National Fottball Post, was evaluated under the NFL personal conduct policy. Cable allegedly broke Hanson's jaw and teeth last summer, but prosecutors decided not to file criminal chargers due to inconsistencies in Hanson's interviews with law enforcement officials.
Aiello said because the incident occurred before Cable worked in the NFL there was no reason to discipline him under the NFL personal conduct policy. At last, with the coach luck from now on with his players with raiders jerseys.

Bengles Lewis interested in Tank Johnson,Roy Williams
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis says he wonders to lift S Roy Williams and DT Tank Johnson up.
“Oh yeah, they came in and did a great job and provided what we were looking for,” Lewis said on the team’s website.
