2009 Hawaii Warrior Football Pro Day

April 2nd, 2009 kNuke Posted in NFL | No Comments »

Hawaii had their Pro Day in Carson, California today. Let’s review where each of Hawaii’s prospects stand.

David Veikune, DE/OLB
Veikune ran his 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds at Pro Day; not bad for a DE. I’m not sold that he can make the move to OLB like some teams are thinking. To me, Veikune is highly overrated; at best, he’ll be a serviceable DE in the NFL.
Projection: Round 5

Jake Ingram, LS
I’m not really sure what a Long Snapper can do in a workout?
Projection: Round 7

Ryan Mouton, DB
Mouton ran a 4.47 in the 40-yard dash and had an 11-foot broad jump at Pro Day, but pulled a hamstring. He was definitely Hawaii’s best DB this past season and maybe their best defensive play maker, but he is choppy, small, and too injury prone. All that being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes an NFL roster; speed seems to find its way.
Projection: FA

Solomon Elimimian, OLB
Elimimian ran a 4.75 40-yard dash, but he was dealing with a strained hamstring at Pro Day. He was a player for Hawaii, but the simple fact that he wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine means he’s not getting drafted.
Projection: FA

Adam Leonard, OLB
Leonard pumped out 29 reps on the Bench Press and looked good in the LB drills at Pro Day. He wasn’t much of a factor this year for Hawaii and that has really hurt his draft stock. Like Elimimian, he wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine, which means he’s not getting drafted either.
Projection: FA

Josh Leonard, DT
Leonard wowed everyone at the Pro Day with a massive 41 reps on the Bench Press and a Pro-agility time of 4.35 seconds. Hopefully this workout will get him a tryout or possibly slip him into Round 7.
Projection: FA
