Andy Janovich’s 30 bench reps at the Combine were more than 36 of the 45 offensive linemen put up.

Andy Janovich has better hands and natural catching skills than I've noticed before. Dan Vitale doing as good as expected in that regard.

Lewis clocked 5.22 in the 40-yard dash and had a 100 inch broad jump, both ranking among the top 20 offensive linemen. Lewis had 27 reps on the bench press on Thursday.

Alex Lewis had a solid performance in Indy yesterday.

Collins weighed in at 311 pounds and his time of 5.03 seconds in the 40-yard dash was the third-fastest among defensive linemen weighing in at more than 300 pounds. He also did 25 reps on the bench press. 

Maliek Collins with good 40 times, near 5 seconds flat. However he does today in testing, I’m guessing he aced the interviews.

Official top 40 time of Maliek Collins: 5.03 seconds. Good number for a 311-pound man. #Huskers

The next step for Nebraska NFL hopefuls will be this Friday at the Huskers’ Pro Day in Lincoln. In addition to the former Combine attendees, several other former Huskers will take their turn trying to impress NFL scouts.
