PISCATAWAY — When Steve Longa received an NFL Scouting Combine invitation, he savored the prospect of having two opportunities to impress scouts.
Longa had a solid showing at the Combine in late February, but the former Rutgers linebacker believed he was capable of posting better numbers in the various tests. Given a second chance in front of NFL scouts at Rutgers' pro day on Wednesday, Longa delivered improved results across the board.
Longa's 40-yard dash time dropped from 4.78 seconds to 4.68 seconds, his broad jump increased from 116 inches to 120 inches and his bench press increased from 19 reps to 21 reps.
