PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Forty-one scouts from 27 NFL teams attended the Rutgers Pro Combine Monday at the Hale Center and Indoor Practice Bubble in Piscataway. The scouts watched 11 former Scarlet Knights from the 2008 squad take part in the combine, along with six other former Scarlet Knights from past seasons.

Among the group of 2008 Scarlet Knights were: Kenny Britt, Kevin Brock, Courtney Greene, Glen Lee, Kevin Malast, Jason McCourty, Chris Quaye, Mike Teel, Pete Tverdov, Tiquan Underwood and Jamaal Westerman. Several other former Scarlet Knights, including Pedro Sosa, William Beckford, Ron Girault and James Townsend also tested for the scouts.

The players went through a variety of drills, including the 40-yard dash, 225-pound bench press, broad jump, vertical jump, three-cone drill, flexibility tests and individual position testing.

Britt, Greene and Underwood elected to only perform in certain events after going through the entire combine process in Indianapolis in February at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Several of the players showed their speed in the 40-yard dash, led by McCourty’s 4.32. Underwood also put up stellar results with a 4.34 in the 40-yard dash. Britt finished with a strong 4.40 while Brock put together a strong run with a 4.65. Others who timed well included Malast with a 4.60 and Westerman’s 4.78.

Most of the current Scarlet Knights were in attendance watching their former teammates. Also in attendance was Super Bowl Champion Darnell Stapleton of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Rutgers returns to spring practice this week with three practices. The Scarlet Knights are back on the practice field Tuesday at 3 p.m. RESULTS
