03/13/07 - Pro day: Several KSU seniors helped their chances of playing football at the next level last week when representatives of more than half of the NFL's 32 teams visited the Kent State field house for the school's pro day workouts. Cornerback Usama Young and defensive tackle Danny Muir really opened some eyes. Young's vertical jump of 43 inches would have been among the best scores of any players in his position group at this year's NFL combine. His long shuttle run of 11.98 seconds would also have topped all defensive backs at the combine. Just for good measure, Young twice ran the 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds. Current rumors circulating through the NFL have Young most likely being drafted early on day two and possibly even late on day one. The Kansas City Chiefs have already scheduled a private workout with Young in Kent. Young has also been invited to visit the Cincinnati Bengals. Other potential fits for Young could be the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both teams sent their directors of personnel and defensive backs coaches to Kent last week. - Ravenna Record Courier
