Summary

BYU's Brandon Ogletree hopes to make an impact at pro day since he does not have an invitation to the NFL Combine.

I asked Stroshine, since this is his business, what he’s heard about Ansah and how he might do at the combine. Stroshine only knows what he’s heard, that Ziggy is an athletic freak and could blow up some numbers in Indianapolis.

“I’ve heard he’s the type of athlete, with his size, that is going to run extremely well. The guys I’ve heard talking say he will run the forty in the 4.5s.”

At 270 pounds, that is insane. I don’t buy it.

But back in the day when Ziggy didn’t know how to put on a pair of shoulder pads, who’d have thought people would have him going in the first round?

Ziggy? Ogletree?

We shall see.

It never hurts to dream and work hard to make those dreams come true. Even if Ogletree doesn't make an NFL team the work ethic and perseverance will help him be successful elsewhere in life! Good luck to him and all the guys trying to make it!

As much as I liked Ogletree. The guy was a solid stud. However, my impression is he will be a non-drafted free-agent and practice squad member at best. We'll see. Let's hope I'm wrong.

I'm surprised that Joe Kruger got an invitation, but not Dave. I always thought that Dave the the bigger and the better of the two.

I'm also surprised to see Boo Anderson working toward the upcoming draft. I don't recall More..
