OFFICIAL 2015 NFL DRAFT THREAD

[Carolina_Packer]

Remember the name Jean Sifrin when watching the NFL Scouting Combine.

Massachusetts tight end Jean Sifrin is another who has not taken a normal route to the combine.

Sifrin -- who was born in the Bahamas -- is 27 years old. He played basketball and football at powerhouse Miami Norland -- other former Norland players in this draft include Miami tailback Duke Johnson and UM offensive tackle Ereck Flowers, and Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown is another ex-Norland player - but dropped out in 2005, his senior year, to work.

He eventually received his GED and decided he wanted to give college a try. He attended two junior colleges, one in New York and one in California; UMass found him at El Camino CC in California, where he played the 2013 season.

Sifrin had 42 receptions for 642 yards (15.3 yards per catch) and six TDs this past season at UMass; he then decided to enter the draft a year early.

He was listed at 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds by UMass, and for a guy that big, he moves well and is surprisingly agile. While raw, he has good hands and put up solid stats in UMass' pass-happy offense (the Minutemen coach is former NFL assistant Mark Whipple).

The above is from an article on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...lines-to-watch

Somewhere else I read that he runs a 4.6 40 yard dash, which is pretty good for a 6-7, 250 pound guy. That one catch in the end zone is pretty sweet. He is 27, though.

Comment woodbuck27:

This article is about the cornerback position and what is necessary to be good or respected at this vital position in a passing game. The article will inform you of available draft prospects.

CB Tramon Williams 31 years old is a UFA and had a CAP hit of $9.5M$ in 2014. CB Davon House and Jarrett Bush CB'/ST's are also Free Agents.

The team cannot have enough good CB's and no doubt Ted Thompson will address this position in the Off Season

I wonder if his age will keep him from being drafted high...

Raw and 27 years of age might be an issue for any team drafting him high but where is he projected to go in the Draft Pugger?

I have no clue. We'll have to watch his performance in the combine next week.
