    Interesting note. I've been keeping a spreadsheet for the last three years on draft prospects. Spriggs is the second most athletic OT in the last three drafts. Only Taylor Lewan was higher. Brandon Scherff was the next highest. Those other two guys were picked in the top 11 of the first round.

    Do you think school he's from is a factor? I mean, if he played at Alabama instead of Indiana, maybe he goes 1st round.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Not really. He needs to bulk up some, despite testing well in the bench press. A year sitting behind Bulaga and Bakh will help him. I read something about Indiana not having many OL prospects recently, but interestingly they have another guy that's listed by NFL Draft Scout as the #2 senior OG for next year.
