Combine withdrawals

Keenan Allen won't participate, as his PCL tear hasn't healed. That will hurt him on draft day, imo.

On the other hand, Kawann Short's draft stock has probably peaked after the Senior Bowl. He's not likely to test as well as a lot of DTs, so I'm not surprised he has suddenly pulled a hamstring.

Ditto Eddie Lacy, who will rest on his Bowl appearance and who has also picked up a sudden hamstring injury.

Allen could fall pretty hard. He's one of the guys who had a lot to dispel. Lot of average athlete talk surrounding him. Hope it makes him fall to 42.

(just for the record, I don't actually think he'll fall to 42.)

allen out...well that's a bummer...i don't know how anyone can watch his cal tape and say "average athlete"

totally agree on short...he wants to avoid showing as average vs the dt class in that setting for as long as he can

[j-off-her-doll]

Not saying I agree, but there's a lot of that talk.

someones gonna end up stealing allen probably late in round 1 due to this injury...the strong getting stronger

Keenan Allen is a big bodied receiver without the big body stiffness that normally comes with big receivers. Kids an athlete.

Denard Robinson, who has everything to prove going into the Combine if he wants to be taken seriously as a multi-threat player or WR, is going to play through a nerve injury in his hand, which is giving him numbness.

Either that, or he's getting his excuses in early!

that guy as a slot wr is nothing but a projection...way too risky in the early rounds...with a slot you want polish...robinson has none
