Campbell/Gudmundsen

[Dane Pound]

There were a couple of write-ups about Campbell and Gudmundsen on the New Orleans Pro Football.com. The one on Campbell sounds encouraging.

 

ALBANY, NY (March 17th) senior linebacker/safety KURT CAMPBELL ran between 4.42 and 4.44 in the 40... 6.99 three-cone... 42.5" vertical... 10'2" broad jump... also did 19 reps of 225 pounds... weighed in at 6020, 228 pounds... did both linebacker and defensive back drills... there have been less than 15 available prospects that have posted similar size/speed numbers over the past three drafts, and 14 of them are still on active rosters... also has a private workout with St. Louis already scheduled, but has seen additional interest from Baltimore, Carolina, Dallas, Detroit, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Miami leading up to his Pro Day events... plans to workout both on March 28th and April 8th... senior offensive lineman GEIR GUDMUNDSEN ran between 5.38 and 5.42 in the 40... 4.56 short shuttle... 7.47 three-cone... 31" vertical... 8'3" broad jump... weighed in at 6052, 301 pounds... will bench press on March 28th... played mostly tackle in college, but has been doing positional drills at guard, as well... has improved greatly over the past 4-6 weeks, while training with Billy Ard, a former starting offensive lineman with the NY Giants... better footwork than you would expect... has the frame to eventually carry 320 pounds... has gotten enough attention from OL coaches the past month to become a PFA by draft day... Buffalo, Dallas and NY Giants are among those that have had

their offensive line coach evaluate him in person.

So Geir's weighed in at 301, after being listed at 315 the last 2 years? I assume he got lighter for speed, then will go back to concentrating on strength/weight work later.

 

Kurt's speed numbers seem impressive.

If only Campbell didn't have so many injuries...

 

Hope he gets picked up put the injuries will hurt him - I think he missed the Las Vegas all star game because of injuries.

Kurt did miss the Las Vegas game because of injury but for something that was not his fault. He was practicing and stepped in a hole or something on the field and twisted his ankle. He had such a good week of practice and such good workouts that the game was just a technicality and he was advised not to play and risk further injury.

He will be in camp somewhere no question. The question is will he be drafted or a free agent? He will be Albany's first if he gets drafted. Lots of players over the years have been in camps....none have made it.

Came across this?

 

Anyway, pretty cool.

 

1. You don't always have an opportunity to watch linemen closely so it is good to see him block so well.

2. It is quite popular for HS players to make tapes like this to get a scholarship, good to see the college kids do it to get drafted.
