The annual NFL combine concluded Monday with the defensive backs participating in drills to measure speed, agility, and strength. Two of those defensive backs played their college football at Rutgers: Saquan Hampton and Blessuan Austin. Like the rest of the participants, they hoped to raise their stock enough to hear their names called at the annual NFL Draft, scheduled for April 25-27 in Nashville this year.
It seemed every defensive coach during his time at Rutgers during both the Kyle Flood and Chris Ash eras was smitten with Hampton’s pro potential.
