He said he expects to run the 40-yard dash in the 4.4 second range or in the low 4.5 second range. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Expansion not on agenda at this time Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:43:47 -0800 NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league is not thinking about any type of expansion at this time. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Looking into playing game in Mexico Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:27:22 -0800 NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league is looking into the possibility of playing a regular season game in Mexico in the near future. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Expanding Thursday Night schedule Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:26:41 -0800 NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said there will be 13 Thursday Night games next season so every team will have the chance to play a primetime game.

Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Andrew Luck wants to be No.1 draft pick Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:05:05 -0800 Stanford QB Andrew Luck said he would love to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. "It sounds all right," Luck said. "Absolutely … You hear a lot of things, but, I think, like any competitive person, it would be great to be the No. 1 pick." Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Could expand to 34 teams eventually Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:20:42 -0800 NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said if the league puts a team in Los Angeles, it is probable the NFL would expand to 34 franchises. However, Goodell said the league does not want to move any team. "We probably don't want to go to 33" teams by adding just one new club if a suitable stadium is built in the Los Angeles area, Goodell said. Instead, the league would consider adding two. An odd number of teams would pose scheduling problems, including at least one club being off each week, and would create one division with five teams.

Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Andrew Luck ready to start Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:47:40 -0800 Stanford QB Andrew Luck said he could co-exist with Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning on the same team, but Luck prefers to start right away once he's on an NFL roster.

Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Michael Floyd says ribs were not broken Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:56:48 -0800 Updating a previous report, Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd (ribs) said Wednesday, Feb. 1, that his ribs were not broken during the Champs Sports Bowl. Floyd did not participate in the Senior Bowl due to the lingering injury. "After my (bowl game) touchdown, I got him in my ribs pretty hard," Floyd said. "I came to the decision that me not being 100 percent, going down to the Senior Bowl wasn't beneficial for me. I was kind of mad and disappointed in myself because if I was 100 percent, I would for sure want to be down there." Floyd said doctors said the "middle part, where the cartilage and rib connect" was where his injury was, and that "time would heal" the injury.

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:11:40 -0800 Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was critical of the effort exhibited by some players during the Pro Bowl. However, New England Patriots OG Logan Mankins said he doubts there's a realistic way to ramp up competitiveness. "I don't know how you fix it," Mankins said. "You're going to give a little effort, but you're not going to get out of control. Some guys are free agents over there. You get hurt in a Pro Bowl and it's going to affect that contract with another team. Who would want to get hurt in a Pro Bowl and not be able to play the next season?" Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Lofa Tatupu plans to make comeback in 2012 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:07:43 -0800 Free-agent LB Lofa Tatupu (Seahawks) (knee) sat out the 2011 season due to knee problems, but a source close to the situation says the player plans a comeback for 2012.

Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Cordy Glenn gets praise from fellow player Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:01:08 -0800 Georgia OG Cordy Glenn had a strong showing during the week of practice at the Senior Bowl, and Alabama DL Courtney Upshaw, projected as a first-round pick in April's NFL Draft, left impressed by Glenn. Upshaw said Glenn was the best offensive lineman he passed during the week's practices. "I felt like I got better each day and am now one step closer to the NFL," Glenn said. He is rated as the top offensive guard by several analysts. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Brandon Boykin uncertain for Combine Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:00:44 -0800 Georgia CB Brandon Boykin (leg) suffered a lower right leg injury in the Senior Bowl Saturday, Jan. 28, but he posted on his official Twitter account that the injury "is not as bad as the report have said." Boykin said it was a small setback, and he expects to be back in action in three weeks. The NFL Scouting Combine begins Feb. 22 in Indianapolis. Before the injury, Boykin was one of reportedly one of the more impressive players during the week of practice, as he impressed NFL scouts and draft analysts by battling bigger receivers. He was projected as a second- or third-round pick in April's NFL Draft before the injury. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Zach Brown helps stock at Senior Bowl Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:57:47 -0800 North Carolina LB Zach Brown had a strong all-around week of practice at the Senior Bowl, and he showed speed and the ability to chase down plays from sideline to sideline. Brown showed off foot quickness, which makes up for his less-than-ideal size at 6-1, 236 pounds. Brown disrupted several plays in the backfield. As such, he is projected as a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, perhaps in the Top 20 with a strong showing at the NFL Scouting Combine. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Zebrie Sanders beaten frequently at Senior Bowl Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:57:24 -0800 Florida State OT Zebrie Sanders was beaten often and easily by pass rushers, and he ended up on the ground frequently during the week of practice at the Senior Bowl. Sanders showed off good footwork and athleticism, but he pass-blocked upright and straight-legged too often, and he was also beaten with inside pass-rush moves. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Mike Brewster driven backward frequently Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:56:51 -0800 Ohio State C Mike Brewster struggled during practice last week at the Senior Bowl, although he was a little better in the game Saturday, Jan. 28. Brewster reportedly doesn't play as strong as his size, which is 6-4 and 310 pounds. Brewster was not effective blocking one-on-one, and he has questionable footwork. Brewster is projected as a fifth-round pick in the NFL Draft. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Ryan Lindley struggles with accuracy Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:52:10 -0800 San Diego State QB Ryan Lindley struggled with his accuracy during practice at the Senior Bowl, and he didn't help himself during the game Saturday, Jan. 28, either. His footwork was viewed as inconsistent, and that hindered his ability to drive into his passes. Lindley has a strong arm, but often his passes were behind receivers, and he struggled in the red zone Saturday. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Chris Rainey has lofty goals for Combine Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:51:39 -0800 Florida RB Chris Rainey is raw, fast and unpredictable, expected to see time at wide receiver, running back and in the return game, similar to Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin, also a former Florida player. "Running back's going to always be my favorite position," Rainey said, but he added, "Wherever they put me, I'm ready. Don't care as long as I help the team win." Rainey plans to run at the NFL Scouting Combine and says he wants to post a 4.1-second time in the 40-yard dash. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Chris Polk's speed questioned Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:51:15 -0800 Some NFL scouts question the speed of Washington RB Chris Polk, who is an erect running, meaning he takes a lot of hits. "I've been fast my whole life," Polk said. "It's just a matter of showing it. I think they think I'm slow because of my running style. I'm real patient. If I see a crease, I'm gonna hit it 100 mile per hour." Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Vick Ballard gets mixed reviews Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:50:40 -0800 Mississippi State RB Vick Ballard might not be projected as a starter in the NFL. However, he showed good hands in the passing game at the Senior Bowl this week and a better burst than expected. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Terrance Ganaway disappoints at Senior Bowl Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:49:53 -0800 Baylor RB Terrance Ganaway had a disappointing week of practice at the Senior Bowl, as he looked like a straight-line runner without explosiveness. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Doug Martin draws praise at Senior Bowl Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:48:41 -0800 Boise State RB Doug Martin drew praise from NFL scouts this past week at the Senior Bowl for his work in pass protection drills. Despite his small stature, he seems to play bigger. Scouts also like his ability to hit the hold hard. "He'll lower his shoulder," a scout said. "He's not quite as strong in the lower body as (Washington RB Chris Polk), but he's another guy that can get yardage after contact. He protects the ball a little better (than Polk)." Both Martin and Polk are projected as second- or third-round picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. Comment (0) | Share: NFL | Keith Bulluck not interested in playing at this time Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:55:20 -0800 Free-agent LB Keith Bulluck (Giants) said he has not filed his retirement papers because he is not ruling anything out but does not have the desire to play at this point even if a team approached him.
