Some talent in the supplemental draft
The supplemental draft will be held next week and several players are drawing interest from NFL clubs, especially Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon.
Jarmon, 6-3 and 278 pounds, held a pro day on Thursday and 18 teams were represented. Jarmon was deemed ineligible for his upcoming senior season after testing positive for a banned substance, but is believed to be the top prospect available.
In 2007, Jarmon started all 13 games for the Wildcats, making 62 tackles (including 13.5 for a loss) with nine sacks, and was named second-team All SEC. He has the third most sacks (13) in Kentucky history (see the video below for one of the 13).
His 40-yard dash on Thursday ranged from 4.79 to 4.83 on Thursday, and his weight (278) was six pounds slimmer than his college playing weight.
Said Redskins executive VP of football operations Vinny Cerrato to the Lexington Herald-Leader: "I think he worked out well. He ran well and was in good shape. He needs to get a little stronger, but he represented himself well. He’s a great kid, solid in the locker room. He’s smart. He’s got all of the intangible things."
Said Jarmon: "I’ve been just trying to stay strong and stay focused. A few times in my workouts the past five weeks, I’ve zoned back and my mind has been here (at Kentucky). I had to get myself out of that mind-set and look forward, but it has definitely been a trial. I feel like I’m doing better getting over it, and now I’m ready for the next step in my life."
Also entering the supplemental draft are Texas Tech defensive end McKinner Dixon and Kansas State receiver Deon Murphy (pictured above). Dixon had nine sacks last season but was suspended by coach Mike Leach after falling behind academically. Then he was arrested on May 31 after having an open alcohol container in his car and failing to produce an insurance card.
Murphy, who transferred from Coffeyville (Kan.) College, caught 37 passes for 555 yards and six TDs last season for K-State, which was a decline from 2007, when he had 57 receptions for 605 yards and seven TDs (two rushing) and was named Big 12 offensive newcomer of the year. He also returned two punts for touchdowns in his two seasons at K-State.
