Dropped a little ...Marshawn Lynch
Another who came to Indy as his position's number two and faltered a little. This is the time of year when teams start poking holes in players and Lynch, who could be a splendid receiver at his position in the NFL, slipped a little because he trailed guys like Henry and Auburn's Kenny Irons in several categories.
There is no question that Lynch may fit some team's west-coast offense, but he doesn't look like a Top 20 player today. His up-right running style is being criticized now, too.
Secure....Chris Henry
A junior, Henry left school early because he was listed as the team's third-string running back after starting only six games in a three-year career. In Lindy's draft magazine, Henry wasn't ranked among the top 25 runners because in three seasons, he rushed for 859 yards and scored only nine touchdowns.
But teams will definitely go back and look at some of his game tapes after he wowed the scouts with an impressive workout. Henry, who is 5-foot-11 and 230 pounds, was a former 100-meter track champion in Stockton, Calif. and he ran the 40 in 4.43 seconds. Henry had a better 10-yard time (1.51 to 1.54) than Peterson, plus he bench-pressed 225 pounds 26 times, a number that was better than Penn State's Paul Posluszny, probably the best linebacker in the draft.
