Michigan senior offensive tackle Jake Long ran 5.17 in the 40.

Top TE time in 40: 4.54 - Dustin Keller, B10. Fellow b10 TE prospect Kellen Davis ran a 4.58 (22 reps 225 lbs, 28" vert)

FINLEY, JERMICHAEL TEXAS-AUSTIN 3 TE 9 TE 4.82

Looks like someone should have stayed at Tejas. Oh well, he'll always be able to think back to being on xray's AA list.

Jeremy Zuttah from Rutgers has been putting up very impressive numbers. Only sub-5 40 yard dash (4.99), 2nd in bench (35 reps), and 4th in the 20 yard shuttle. Considering he was on very few drafts boards before the combine, I wouldn't be suprised to see him get drafted late.

According to ESPN Live Blog, FSU WR De'Cody Fagg appears to have suffered an injury while running routes at the combine. Notes that he was carted off would indicate it was probably severe.

Reporters returning from the RCA Dome said Florida State receiver De'Cody Fagg suffered an apparent injury to his left leg while running routes. Medical people carted off Fagg. I was scheduled to watch that session this morning, but couldn't get away for the 2-hour block.
