However, I happened to meet Whitehurst as he was walking by my house, about a week ago, and he said he ran a 4.4 forty at his pro-day. IF that is true, then I could see him being a lat draft pick. I asked him whether he would prefer to be drafted in the 7th round or sign with a team as an undrafted free agent. Not surprisingly, (to me at least), he'd rather sign as an UDFA because he would have more options in choosing a team where he might have a better chance to stick. its hard to imagine a back up linebacker at USF getting drafted, but then again Mike McFarland was a back up tight end and he got drafted, so it isn't impossible. Its good to see he has NFL aspirations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year it seems "workout warriors" get picked somewhere. So I can see a guy who has measurable getting drafted late regardless of what they did on the field at USF. One thing you never hear from anyone associated with the draft is, "That guy had great stats and a guy who succeeded in college has a place on our team."

Its good to see he has NFL aspirations. Mike had some great utility and was an athletic specimen. Towards the end, he might have become known just as much for his ability to block kicks as run at TE. Pretty sure Whitehurst did some coverage, too, so maybe that and his pro-day measurables get him a look for ST if not for LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he didn't have as good of a senior season, but I think he has 3-5th round potential. I can see Thor and Price being potential 6-7th round guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie free agency may be in their future. Eric Lee and Sean Price have NFL builds, if their workouts knock the socks off some GM's, may be those two provide the best chance at having some Bulls drafted. I was pleasantly surprised to see Bulls drafted last year, as I wasn't expecting that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
