Under Armour Combine Recap: Baltimore
The damp weather couldn't deter nearly 250 prospects from up and down the East Coast from competing at M&T Bank Stadium, the home of the Baltimore Ravens. The last stop on the 2009 Under Armour combine circuit had a strong overall showing despite the dreary weather.
As usual, the vibe and energy were outstanding throughout the night for the new prototype of football combines, and the competition was intense. Despite gusty winds, there were some very impressive testing marks followed by a circuit of well-coached positional drills that concluded with an ultra-competitive one-on-one and seven-on-seven passing circuit. The combine was very balanced in terms of positional strength, making for great competition and scouting.
The star of the show was Josh Furman, who may have had the best outing of any prospect on the 2009 Under Armour Combine Tour. Posting a 4.39 40-yard dash, a 42" vertical and a 9' 8" broad jump.
When things turned over to individual drills, 1-on-1 and skelly, Tehvyn Brantley, who made the trek from North Carolina for the Combine, absolutely wowed everyone in attendance with his routes and separation ability, completely dominating his opponents in the backfield.
While this stop brought the football portion of the 2009 Under Armour Combine Tour to an end, we will still be going strong in golf, soccer and lacrosse throughout the year. Be sure to check back for updates.
