Saturday notes from NFL Combine

Workouts started in Indianapolis, and several Spartans have been drawing rave reviews. Here is a collection of stuff regarding the six MSU players at the Combine. (Full schedule here).

--

--According to the Freep's Dave Birkett, Edwin Baker did 20 reps on the bench press and measured in a 5-foot-8, 2004 pounds. 

Birkett also has a story on Cousins proving he can be an NFL quarterback. 

Also from the Freep, a breakdown of all local products (from Michigan high schools or colleges) who are at the Combine or could get drafted.

--National Football Post's Dion Caputi said Jerel Worthy measured in at 6-foot-2, 308 pounds and said he would be an ideal 3-technique defensive tackle in a 4-3 defense. 

--Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is hearing good things about Worthy, tweeting "Several offensive line this week raving about Michigan State's Jerel Worthy as toughest DT they faced."

--MSU's official site has a boatload of stuff.

Here is a Q&A with former Colts president and current NFL Radio analyst Bill Polian, who has a lot of good things to say about the MSU program. This was the most notable quote to me: "Mark (Dantonio) runs a top-notch program. When a team drafts a player from Michigan State - as we did here in Indianapolis with Chris Rucker - it knows from the minute he walks in the door, he's ready to be a professional."

MSU football's Twitter page has some quotes from ESPN's Todd McShay. Notably, McShay said of Worthy: "He flashes on tape as much as anyone I’ve watched on the defensive line."

--Pro Football Weekly has a story on Cousins (from yesterday) and how his demeanor is a big plus.
