N. Carolina St. Wolfpack Football Fanatics

Andre Brown and Anthony Hill will be participating in the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week.  Both have had a remarkable career at NC State. They didn't put up outstanding numbers, but were solid players for the Wolfpack.  Andre Brown has garned more attention through his play at the Senior Bowl.  Tom O'Brien's teaching to him to be a more down hill runner certainly improved his marketability to the NFL scouts. Also the fact that Brown didn't have a heavy carry load through his time at State should help looking long term for durability purposes. Hill is a good blocking tight end.  He at times would drop a few passes but on most occasions made up for it with a big play. He is not a very fast runner and never really ran crisp routes.  He size was a big advantage for him.

I think injuries will be the key factor in determing how far they drop in the draft.  Both players have missed alot of the games the last two seasons because of a variety of injuries. Andre is ranked 9th in running backs and Hill is ranked 11th among tightends.  Both are looking at second day picks from early readings.  Alot can change from that depending on how they perform at the combine this week.  

I want to wish both of these young men great success in the future.  We as wolfpack fans have enjoy the time you have spent with the institution and the football program.  I hope they both have outstanding careers in the NFL.
