Rick Spielman Quotes
I think the biggest reason [Poole] slipped was because of the poor workouts... He didn't workout as well as everybody thought he would. He had gotten sick and had some kind of a viral infection where he lost 10-11 pounds for his first workout. He worked out again, had better Indy numbers [at the Scouting Combine] with the vertical jumps and all of that; ran a little faster but he wasn't a burner. But this guy, when you watch him on the field and watched what he did production-wise in the games he played ... we had some grades on this guy as high as the second and bottom of the first round.

(Greenway) didn't have eye-popping speed numbers (4.75 in the 40-yard dash). But he does play faster than his 40 time. He's going to be a good football player in this league. He's instinctive and he's tough.
