Charles Johnson was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but his workout Monday in front of NFL scouts representing 18 teams at Grand Valley State’s pro day could have the receiver vaulting up draft boards.
Johnson (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 and 4.39 seconds. He had a 4.31-second short shuttle and 6.96-second three-cone drill. He had a 39 1/2-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot-1 broad jump. He performed 14 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. The receivers coaches from the Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets were present in Allendale, Mich. for the workout.
Johnson’s pro-day efforts would have placed him among the top performers at the combine in the 40, vertical jump and broad jump. Before his pro day, Johnson had guaranteed that he’d run a 4.39, reports MLive.com.
On the basis of his strong pro-day workout, Johnson could be selected as high as the fifth round in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Jeff Tuel, QB (6-3, 218) — Tuel ran the 40 in 4.60 and 4.65 seconds. He had a 4.12-second short shuttle and a 6.90-second three-cone drill. He had a 32-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-3 broad jump. Tuel had a great pro day, and I suspect that he will have a strong showing when he has a workout with the New England Patriots on March 22. Tuel will be joined by receiver Marquess Wilson — who was at the combine — at that workout, which will be held at the University of Idaho. Tuel also has a two-day visit with the Buffalo Bills set up for April 8-9.
Jeff Tuel will sign a UDFA contract with the #Pats - Fits that system/mold.. Smart kid..
The other day and elsewhere, Dabruinz speculated that the Pats could be signing 10-20 UDFA's this year. It's interesting that they appear to be looking at a lot of UDFA types. Is this recruitment that they're doing?
Not sure I would call it recruitment. I would call it job interviews. No sense in signing the kids to contracts if you know ahead of time they aren't going to work out. It's part of the culling process, in my honest opinion.
Well with the new TC roster size of 90 players and the Pats only having 5 draft picks so far and 55 guys signed to the Roster before FA then that leaves 30 guys for UDFA's.
Minus any FA's they sign so your looking at probably 25 at a minimum.
Besides upcoming workout for Ravens, Tavon Austin has meetings with Bengals, Dolphins this week, workouts upcoming for Panthers, Patriots

Edit: Has Patriots written all over him.
That is a fast 3-cone. All time record is 6.42.
- As reported earlier, defensive tackle William Campbell measured 6045/311lbs, timed 4.98s-to-5.08s in the forty and completed 35 reps on the bench. The New York Jets and New England Patriots have workouts planned for Campbell, whom I felt should have been invited to the combine.
Patriots OL coach at the Valdosta State Pro Day. Likely keeping an eye on OG Edmund Kugbila and OT Ryan Schraeder. Both are intriguing.
We should pay attention to Dante pro day visits. So...
According to @drocksthaparty Patriots are working out Sierra WR Courtney Gardner, also have one planned with RB Washaun Ealey.
