INDIANAPOLIS — For Clemson receiver Deon Cain, there's nothing tedious about all the timing and testing at the NFL scouting combine.
"It's a great feeling because I'm starting to get into this professional life and I'm loving it every day," Cain said.
Cain impressed coaches Saturday with his superior speed and great hands, traits that were particularly apparent in the gauntlet drill at Lucas Oil Stadium.
That's where receivers stand on one sideline, spin and catch a pass from 10 yards away, then spin and catch one from the other direction. Then, they sprint toward the other sideline, catching five more 10-yard passes from alternating directions before coming back the other way, catching another seven throws.
