-Dante Fowler Jr. from Florida, who NFL Network's Mike Mayock lists as his top edge rusher in the draft, turned in a 4.61 40-yard dash and had 19 bench press reps.
-Fowler on what separates him from the other rushers.
"That I can do it all, some linebackers, some defensive end, I can do both," said Fowler. "I can rush really good and I can drop back in coverage. If I want to think I'm a big guy, I like to go out there and mess with the receivers, I can play in the flats and in the curls. I can play everywhere.
"I want teams to know that I'm a coachable guy, that I'm a team player and a fit for their team. I want to be that kind of guy that can play in this league. That I can turn a team and a defense around at the same time, just try to be that guy who can help out in the community and try to be the face of that team one day.''
- Linebacker Mike Hull, who played at Penn State and Canon McMillan High School in the Pittsburgh area, showed his brute strength with 31 bench press reps.
We thought Lucas Oil Stadium needed more black & gold, so we added some.
- Also showing his strength was Mayock's fourth-ranked edge pass rusher, Vic Beasley from Clemson. Beasley amazingly had 35 bench press reps and he ran an incredible 4.53 in the 40-yard dash.
"Explosive off the edge, you are born with that," said Mayock.
-Beasley on making the move from DL to OLB:
"Yeah, outside linebacker, defensive end, I'm willing to play either one," said Beasley. "Whatever the team I get picked by and whatever position they want me to play, I'm willing to move wherever they want me to move."
- NFL Network analyst and former linebacker Willie McGinest on the defensive line/rushers: "I am seeing some explosive, defensive players."
