Three Down, One to Go: Hokies at the Combine

Today was the first day of workouts where any Virginia Tech player worked out for the NFL Combine. Ryan Malleck took to the field and the bench, and did fairly well in the measurable statistics. He posted 18 reps of 225, had a vertical jump of 34.5", a broad jump of 10'-1", a 7 second 3-cone, a 4.33 short shuttle, and did not run a 40-yard dash or the 60-yard shuttle. Of the tight ends, he performed fairly adequately in these regards. He was tied for 6^th in the bench (top prospect Hunter Henry only put up 13), was 4^th in the vertical jump (Henry participated in nothing other than the bench), tied for 2^nd in the broad jump, and tied for 5^th in the 3 cone.
