I think its great that our kids are impressing scouts enough to get some private tryouts.  nothing there to criticize. 

The New York Jets, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos are the teams that will be holding workouts with Tye as of now, and he already worked out with the San Diego Chargers, according to DuWayne Upton, Tye’s agent.

In CBS Sports’ NFL Draft Prospects rankings, Tye is the No. 24 tight end in the upcoming draft, and No. 460 player overall, which will likely move in a positive direction after Wednesday’s performance.

40 times are really important. That is what will get u drafted or brought into camp. Watch the combine all they talk about is the 40.

You're right.  Commentators talk about the 40 all the time, but NFL scouts don't.

The 40 measures straight line speed and it is a weak measurable.  It is somewhat useful to measure ability to run and cover fly patterns, but was originally designed to guage punt coverage ability with the punter's hang time.  It has a place but it is but one of 100 factors or so.

These times seem suspiciously fast to me anyway.

I'm pretty sure they're hand timed rather than the fully automatic systems that are in place at the combine. I believe every scout has his own stop watch and will have slightly different time, and we're probably only hearing the best results. Regardless, it seems like the scouts walked away impressed which is great.

I was forwarded this information from a person on the FB team, and wanted to put it out there for all of you to consider making a contribution to a worthy cause.  Definitely a worthwhile effort being spearheaded by the SB football team.


Seawolves and Seawolves Fans we need your help.

As part of the football student-athlete leadership team for the Uplifting Athletes Stony Brook Chapter, we are working hard to prepare for our first annual Lift For Life held during our workouts from Wednesday, April 29th to Friday, May 1st.

Uplifting Athletes is a national nonprofit organization aligning college football with rare diseases.

Each campus chapter is run by current football student-athletes and works to elevate its chosen rare disease as a national priority through outreach, research, education and advocacy.

The network of university chapters nationwide brings the mission of Uplifting Athletes to life. Here at Stony Brook, our chapter supports the rare disease Medulloblastoma.

The Seawolves football team joined the fight against Medulloblastoma in honor of Joe Feminella, the Seawolves 14-year-old co-captain who was diagnosed with the disease when he was 5. Our Lift For Life event is our main fundraiser in support of raising research dollars for this rare disease.

Please consider supporting our Lift For Life by donating to our Chapter at give.upliftingathletes.org/SBUlift2015

Visit upliftingathletes.org and learn more about why Stony Brook is part of the Uplifting Athletes team in this national fight against rare diseases. Thank you for your support.

Together … We Are … Stronger!

Conor Bednarski, #16

Stony Brook Chapter Leader

Sloan will be competing for a spot on the D line. . No guarantees he will even start.  We have a very good front four again this season with Valentine and Camara among others stacking the line!!

Sloan was eithederachieving or playing at the wrong level. Went to cause to be an offensive lineman. I hope he has to earn it cause the DL is solid. Not a big fan of these 1 and done guys. The Kinder experiment was a flop. Doesn't sound like he is in the best shape. We will see.

He missed his entire redshirt freshman season with an injury. He'll most likely appeal and get sixth year of eligibility like Dan Mulrooney did a couple years back. We haven't had many true interior defensive linemen. This is gives a huge body inside with some ACC experience, not to mention a local kid. I like it a lot.

It should some depth at the DT position; you can never have enough due to injuries during the season. I do agree with 1 year wonders; its hard to build cohesiveness with others players on the line.

We had injuries last in the season last year & it made it difficult to win some of the games.
