South Practice Notes:

Georgia Tech linebacker Phillip Wheeler was active and downright mean, working extensively with Hall of Famer Mike Singletary.

Tennessee State defensive back Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was nothing short of excellent, both in drills and coverage. Smooth athlete with quick hip flip, playing both free safety and cornerback.

Another small schooler, Heath Benedict of Newberry College was outstanding in "the pit" not losing a single match-up. The 49ers coaches had him at first team right tackle, and he responded.

Texas wide out Limas Sweed had a great day, catching everything and looking very smooth. Sweed rounds out his routes and isn't a perfect player but is the only South WR who has WR1 potential.

Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson had an above average day. After coming out excited and throwing high, Woodson settled down and displayed his natural ability. It should be noted however that he has the luxury of playing with tight end Jacob Tamme, who was a security blanket for Woodson today just like he was in the season.

Tennesee quarterback Erik Ainge clearly has the tools required to excel in the league, however he hasn't quite put it all together and looks uncertain at times.

Wake Forest defensive end Jeremy Thompson had an excellent day. At the weigh-in he showed up in excellent shape, and at practice he showed top notch balance and body control, beating blockers both inside and around the edge.

Tennessee tight end Brad Cottam seemed stiff as a pass catcher, but blocked well. At 6'7" and a lean 270, Cottam seems like he could be a fantastic candidate for left tackle conversion.

Troy cornerback Leodis McKelvin was working at returner, in addition to his above average performance in coverage drills.

Pittsburgh guard Mike McGlynn had a great first step in run blocking, and can really open holes for the runner. However, his pass protection is raw and needs work.

Vanderbilt left tackle Chris Williams was the most impressive offensive lineman in the South practice. He breaks down well, gets low hips and if he gets his hands on the other player, it's over. 32 7/8" arms may be cause for concern.

Mississippi State linebacker Titus Brown split time with the defensive ends, where he displayed has a nasty array of pass rush moves. Brown is firey and it's apparent he's having fun out there.

Arkansas guard Robert Felton may not be a physical specimen but he's a natural football player, powerful and plays well in space.

Maryland defensive tackle Dre Moore showed incredible explosion in one-on-one's but doesn't always sustain his effort.

Georgia Tech linebacker Gary Guyton is en route as a substitute.

waiting on the north posting

Re: Senior Bowl News
 

I like everything I've read about this guy. He's my choice if we're adding depth.

Re: Senior Bowl News
 

I'm going to keep my eye on Titus Brown. We can sure use a good pass rusher. Phillip Wheeler is going to be a mid round steal for someone.
