NFL Combine – Safeties
As the NFL heads towards its annual Combine later this month, the invitation list helps narrow the field on the top prospects in the country, both seniors and underclassmen. Over the next 10 days we’ll preview and review each position.
This is not a big year for safeties in the NFL Draft. As the players get ready to head for Indianapolis and the NFL Combine, there will be 19 safeties among the players who will go through the four days of work for the league clubs.
As the 2010 college season ended, there was not a college safety considered a first-round prospect, and if so it would be at the bottom of the round. There appears to be no Eric Berry in this group; the Chiefs selected Berry with the fifth pick of last year’s NFL Draft. Among the top names in the safety group is Oklahoma’s Quinton Carter (above right). He’s joined by another Big 12 Conference safety David Sims of Iowa State.
The ACC has the biggest representation of safeties in the Combine with four, led by Clemson’s DeAndre McDaniel (above left). The Pac-10 has three, including California’s Chris Conte.
Only one of the 19 safeties is not from a BCS school; that’s FS Mark Legree out of Appalachian State.

So Bob, did you open up your website to everyone?
That would explain the drive by attacks on your witlock article. The problem with dealing with crap like witlock, you end up getting crap on you.
If that means a return of rin.tin.turd, I’ll be avoiding the comment section until your site becomes paid again.
