Chief Prospects

[T-post Tom]

Auburn

Quentin Groves, who had been sick last week with flu like symptoms, weighed in at 249 pounds, ten less than his combine weight. Scouts on hand worked Groves at defensive line and linebacker drills for 25 minutes, something he did not do in Indianapolis. Sources told us Groves looked terrific at both, though he was really winded at the end of the workout after being so sick last week. Groves did improve his vertical jump, touching the tape today at 35 inches, six inches more than his combine jump. Safety Eric Brock was impressive, running his forty’s in the mid 4.5 second range, much faster than expected. Brock turned in a 37-inch vertical jump after completing 14 reps on the bench. The New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings have all scheduled private workouts with Brock.

The Chiefs will also be meeting with defensive tackle Pat Sims who looked good in positional workouts.

Cornerback Pat Lee again ran impressively. After posting forty times in the mid 4.4 second area at the combine, Lee was in the low 4.4’s today.

Jonathan Wilhite, the Tigers other starting corner, ran a 4.2 second short shuttle and turned in a 35.5-inch vertical jump.
