1. Will Blake Freeland see his stock rise after the NFL Combine

There is a good chance that Blake Freeland sees his stock shoot up after the NFL combine. Freeland was a former track star in high school and was a notable athlete. A lot of people expect him to show up to the NFL combine as a well-prepared athlete who can dominate each event.

What is going to make Freeland enticing is that you combine his athletic traits with his size. He is 6'7" and 312 pounds. He could put on some weight, but unlike a lot of BYU prospects, he is still on the younger side of the age list. There is room and time for him to put on weight.

Teams know that he is athletic, but when you see the size and testing numbers on paper it does something to your brain. Beyond that, the media is not as aware and may be surprised that he is one of the big winners of the week. Will there be a lot more attention on Blake Freeland after this weekend? Or, will the rumors of his ability be overstated by some?
