What They're Saying
Wide Receiver and Tight End Prospects on the Combine, Senior Bowl and Heading to the NFL...
"I would say football is my wife and basketball is my mistress." - Texas A&M tight end Martellus Bennett on playing two sports
"I haven't scouted the other tight ends. I know that there are certain strengths that compare; even more so I focus on the things I can improve upon: be more powerful at the line of scrimmage, punching people with my hands, footwork, fundamental things like that hopefully will help me improve my blocking." - Notre Dame tight end John Carlson on how he compares to other tight ends
"I practice every day running and lifting weights. I practice catching, too. A lot of people don't know I sprained my thumb before the season started. It healed and I've been catching everything in my hands." - Houston wide receiver Donnie Avery on improving before the Draft
"It would be a great thing to be reunited with Vince. I’m just happy right now to be in a position to be drafted by anybody. Wherever I go, I’ll be happy." - Texas wide receiver Limas Sweed on the possibility of playing with Vince Young and the Titans
"It gives you something to strive for and it also gives you something to follow because he's a great role model. He's done everything the right way on an off the field. So he's just a great person to follow." - Missouri tight end Martin Rucker about having a brother in the NFL (Carolina's Mike Rucker)
