NFL Combine Day 2: Potential Steelers Draft Pick Results

Today is Day 2 of the NFL combine.  Feels good to see these guys running around on the field after a few weeks of the ‘no football zone.’  Our own Dom has done a hell of a job with his mock drafts thus far – see 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.  With those mocks in mind, as well as what we feel are other needs for this team, here are the results of players who have participated today that are on the Steelers potential radar.

First up is Cordy Glenn out of Georgia.  Glenn recorded the sixth fastest 40 time today with a time of 5.15.  He also had 31 reps at the bench.  Glenn impressed many pundits today during his trials.  Seems like most didn’t think much of him until he started posting his numbers.  Glenn also recorded a 23.5 vertical, 93 broad jump, 8.13 seconds in the 3-cone and 5.0 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle.  Mayock could be heard on NFL Network voicing positive comments about Glenn.  Brian Billick felt the same way and was impressed with Glenn’s overall agility.  Glenn has certainly made a case that he can perform at tackle at the NFL level.  The advantage he would have being with the Steelers is he can be a floater on the line early on in his career.  As we know, our linemen tend to get injured early and often for some bizarre reason.  Having Glenn in the lineup as someone who could play the outside as well as the inside would be invaluable to this team.  Glenn’s performance today turned some heads.  Hopefully, not too many before the Steelers can nab him in the first round.
