At the Media Night, it was a frenzy talking to players, grabbing who you can, getting a few minutes (if not seconds) before others swarmed to get the next question in.

I got a chance to talk to 10 players that night, asking them questions that relate to what NFL teams would ask. I tried to cover injuries, character issues, arrests, scheme changes, and testing their football knowledge.

I talked to Tyler Wilson, Zac Dysert, Quinton Patton, Denard Robinson, Aaron Mellete, Kyle Juszczyk, Justin Pugh, Eric Fisher, Hugh Thornton, and Jamie Collins.

I made the trip up to Carson, CA from San Diego to attend the second ever NFLPA Bowl practice week.  Most of the participants here are considered UDFA to high third day picks in terms of NFL prospects while others may have futures in the CFL. 

I was only able to attend Wednesday and Thursday practices but I came away impressed by the facilities and the event as a whole.  It didn’t hurt that weather ranged from 68-72 all week.  The coaching staff, led by Herman Edwards and Dick Vermeil, was phenomenal providing constant feedback for players.  There were about 40-50 NFL and CFL scouts in attendance on the first day and around 30 scouts the second day I was there.  There was nothing but first class treatment and I’d expect this event to attract more talent in coming years. 

I have broken down players that stood out during the week by position.  These reviews are based off of my observations only, unless specified otherwise.
