Lefeged, Lowery, Freeny to play in postseason all-star games
The Rutgers athletic department announced yesterday that Joe Lefeged had been selected to play in the Senior Bowl, with Antonio Lowery and Jon Freeny also playing in new game that will likely battle Texas vs. the Nation (which is actually called the NFLPA Game now) for supremacy. One factor that I want to talk more about as the NFL Draft season kicks into gear over the next few months is how extenuating circumstances ruined what was looking like a very good defense through the first half of 2010. That poor play undoubtedly hurt their stock, although good professional scouts ought to have an ability to take context into account. A couple Scarlet Knights will catch on as late round picks/UDFAs and stick around in the NFL. Alex Silvestro stands out as another player who will deserve some looks, and Brandon Bing should at least get a few workouts after he runs a sub-4.4 at Pro Day.
