Today's Senior Bowl practice on ESPN

They interviewed Vermeil while practice was going on... nothing too surprising I guess. He said this practice is good for the players because you've got a whole field of all-american talent and they're getting to play against people just as talented. Said this is good for him because this is his first real introduction to these players. Said him and the Chiefs personnel people were there, they watch the practices then have meetings afterward to discuss the things they've seen. When asked what stood out to him, he said obviously we're looking at defense, and he didn't name any names but you see people stand out to you, you watch and you see this guy make a good play, then that guy make a great play, then you see a DE coming hard off the edge, and it's like being a kid in a candy store having so many good things... that was about it though.

Just afterward though, they got into a conversation about Darren Sproles. Kiper said he was 3rd-4th round material. Craig James said he clearly thought he was talented enough to be an NFL running back and they agreed that he could play a Dave Meggett type role for somebody. Just thought some of you who like to argue over him would find that interesting...
