Barwin wows scouts at combine

Former University of Cincinnati defensive end Connor Barwin took another big step in his football career with an excellent showing at the 2009 NFL Draft Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
“It was a very good experience. I met a lot of people, I think I helped myself. So the Combine went well,” Barwin said.
Prospects are separated by position and take part in seven drills that help measure their athleticism. Barwin finished with the highest marks in five of the seven defensive lineman categories and finished second in the 40-yard dash with a time of 4.66 seconds.
“His versatility is the best we’ve seen in a long time,” said Jerry Jones, author of the annual NFL Draft guide, The Drugstore List. “He can play defensive end, outside linebacker and tight end. He just continues to impress.”
