I can't see anyone doing more than he is in order to impress at the combine.

They better not do him like Andre last year...he is a beast that needs to go on the first day.

He'll probably not go the 1st day. He's more than likely a 4th -5th rounder.

I'm glad to see he's starting out right. There was a very good article about the NFL combine and an unknown player from a D-II school from a few years ago. Basically he had no financial backing and was going into the combine with a young agent.

All the big guys (including Nicholas as the article states) have interview coaches that tell them what to say and how to respond to certain individual questions that might arise from their playing career and personal life. This kid didn't and he was swallowed.

You're only given about 15 minutes in the interviews so many are straight to the point.

Hope the weekend works out well for him.

To pitch a book that explains the complexities and intricacies of draft preparation, try Pete Williams' The Draft, which goes into great detail about what players like Nicholas should be doing.

For example, he should not only be receiving interview coaching, but should have been on an individualized training regimen that worked on his weakest areas (whatever they may be) and Combine training (how to maximize a standing jump, for one) at a Bolliterri-type facility. One of the tricks is that only certain agents can get their clients into the most respected of these facilities...

it would be a shocker for him to go on first day

he doesnt have that type of talent

[bulls96go]

hope he does well

Don't know if he is going to go on the first day or not.  I only know that he is giving himself the best chance to get picked.  He has talent.......let's hope those talent scouts see it.
