Wiesloch allgemein » Cain impressed coaches Saturday with his superior

For Clemson receiver Deon Cain Ugo Amadi Jersey , there’s nothing tedious about all the timing and testing at the NFL scouting combine.

”It’s a great feeling because I’m starting to get into this professional life and I’m loving it every day,” Cain said.


That’s where receivers stand on one sideline, spin and catch a pass from 10 yards away, then spin and catch one from the other direction. Then, they sprint toward the other sideline, catching five more 10-yard passes from alternating directions before coming back the other way, catching another seven throws.

While Cain was eager to show off his skills Saturday during the on-field sessions with quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends, he said he’s actually enjoyed every aspect of the annual gathering of top college prospects.

”This combine experience has been fun for me. At the end of the day, I love every moment about it,” Cain said. ”Just trying to take everything day by day, going through this process, talking to coaches Dwayne Haskins Jersey , meeting new people, being around Hall of Famers every day.”

Cain had a goal of running a sub-4.4-second 40-yard dash after all the speed work he did over the last six weeks at the Exos performance center in Phoenix, where he added 10 pounds of lean muscle to his 6-foot-1 frame.

He did just that, posting a time of 4.3 seconds Saturday before showing off his route-running skills during the hour-long session that included top-tier quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson .

”I feel like Exos really prepared me for this moment,” said Cain, who also posted respectable jumps – 33 inches in the vertical and 9 feet, 7 inches in the broad. ”We train hard, train well with great efficiency, prepping me for interviews and everything. I feel like they gave us the upper hand, the answers to the test out here and now it’s just a routine.

”I’m out here trying my best out here and just trying to do what I know I’m capable of doing.”

Cain, a projected second-day draft pick, played three seasons at Clemson and was productive receiver for a team that made three playoff appearances and played in two national championship games.

Cain played in only one of those national championship games. After the regular season of his freshman year, he was suspended for the College Football Playoff by Tigers coach Dabo Swinney for failing a drug test for marijuana.

Knowing that would come up in interviews with teams this week, Cain prepared to face the scrutiny with honesty D.K. Metcalf Jersey , eager to show that’s not an issue teams need to worry about.

”It’s been great so far, really just getting to know all the coaches, let them get a good feel of me, and just show them that I’m smart off the field, smart on the field and I know football both ways, and really just let them get feel of me,” Cain said.

On the field, he said he’s showing teams he’s versatile, coachable and confident yet humble.

”I can do it all. If you want me to play inside, outside. If you want me to go down and block, I can do anything. I said I’m capable of doing anything,” he said.

And he pledged to never stop trying to improve.

”Now that I’m going on to the next level, I always want to be better and more technically sound because now you’re just going against way better DBs now,” Cain said.

Whoever picks him http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cody-barton-jersey , he said, will ”get an efficient, hard worker, someone who will go hard every play. I’m just going to be me out there, as long as they let me be me and coach me the right way, they’re going to get a great receiver.”

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys saved their season with a win in Philadelphia a month ago.Carson Wentz and the Eagles will try to do the same in Texas — actually for the third straight week since the defending champs found their season on the brink following a blowout loss to New Orleans a week after falling to their NFC East rivals.While Eagles coach Doug Pederson isn’t big on the word “desperation” coming off his team’s first back-to-back wins this season, he isn’t dodging the significance of Sunday at AT&T Stadium, where the division lead will be on the line for the second time in three games.On Thanksgiving Day, Dallas beat Washington to pull even with the Redskins . Now the Cowboys (7-5) have a chance for a fifth straight win that would all but eliminate the Eagles (6-6) and make things difficult for the Redskins as well.“Every game for us is definitely a must win,” Pederson said. “I think every game for them is a must win. Both of us are trying to accomplish the same goal. We’ve just got to get ourselves ready to go.”The Cowboys were in danger of losing touch with the playoff race when they visited the Eagles in early November.The debut of new No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper, acquired in a trade, had been ruined in a loss to Tennessee. The offense had been struggling for the equivalent of a full season going back to 2017.Including that 27-20 win to start a four-game surge , the offensive average is up almost 50 yards per game Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , Prescott’s efficiency at quarterback is significantly improved and there’s little doubt that Cooper’s impact has influenced both of those developments.While the scoring hasn’t spiked as much because of the surprising defensive struggle against the high-scoring Saints, the 13-10 win that ended New Orleans’ 10-game winning streak was the signature moment for a defense that’s been carrying the Cowboys all season.“Honestly we have been the same team,” Prescott said. “We knew the team that we had in some of the games that we lost. And it was just about making those few plays here and there. I just think sitting here at 7-5 now four games later, we have been able to make those plays.”Things to consider with the Cowboys going for a season sweep of the Eagles for the first time since 2012:BALANCED ATTACKThe Eagles are running more effectively and more frequently than they have all season. Running backs have 56 carries for 263 yards the past two games. Undrafted rookie Josh Adams has emerged as the lead back and has 169 yards on 42 rushes. Corey Clement has been productive and Darren Sproles scored on a 14-yard run in his first game since the season opener.“We’ve been persistent with the run game,” offensive coordinator Mike Groh said. “Guys are doing a heck of a job of creating lanes, and if there is not a lane there, there have been enough times where the backs have done a good job creating on their own.”RESTED, RECHARGEDRunning back Ezekiel Elliott had 90 touches (72 carries, 18 catches) for 479 yards in the annual busy stretch of the season for the Cowboys — three games in 12 days around Thanksgiving. The 2016 NFL rushing champion welcomed four days off. “It’s definitely helped me getting my feet back under me,” said Elliott, who lost his league rushing lead to Todd Gurley last week. “It’s the best I’ve felt on a Wednesday in a while.”GOLDEN’S THREEPEATReceiver Golden Tate will face the Cowboys for the third time this season. He had eight catches for 132 yards and two TDs while with Detroit in Week 4. He caught just two passes for 17 yards in his debut for the Eagles in the Cowboys’ 27-20 win. But now he’s coming off his best performance for his new team: seven catches for 85 yards and a score in a 28-13 win over the Redskins.DAK SACKSWhile the numbers for Prescott and his offense are improving, his sack rate isn’t. The 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year has been dropped an NFL-high 45 times and has been sack-free just once this season. The Saints sacked him a season-high seven times.“It starts with me, but it’s a collective effort, from receivers getting open http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-phil-haynes-jersey , getting separation, to the offensive line maybe holding up just a little bit longer for me, or me just getting the ball out and throwing it away, or getting it to the back or whatever we got to do,” Prescott said.CHECK THE BULLETIN BOARDEagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill was the trash talker of the week , telling a Philadelphia TV outlet, “Look at Dallas’ history. They always choke. So we’ll go down there and make them choke.”Prescott was aware of it but didn’t bite. “When you play a team like this, a game like this that means what it means, what somebody says doesn’t add any motivation,” he said.
