Lamb likes the laboratory. He likes gathering raw materials, applying football science and molding players into a finished product. And he proved his theory as head coach at Southern Utah University which had three players invited to the NFL combine last year, two of whom, LeShawn Sims and Miles Killebrew, ended up being drafted.
