Tegray Scales, Ian Thomas and Rashard Fant didn't spend much time on the sidelines during their stellar football careers at Indiana.
But that's where they stayed Thursday, fresh off appearances at the NFL Combine, as IU conducted its first full-pad practice of the spring.
Scales had a solid Combine, starting with a bench press performance ranking second among all linebackers at 27 repetitions lifting 225 pounds.
Thomas turned heads at the Combine, finishing in the top six among tight ends in the broad jump (2nd), 20-yard shuttle (2nd), vertical jump (3rd), 40-yard dash (6th) and three-cone drill (6th).
