Cooper Mays excluded from NFL scouting combine

[JohnWardForever]

westwords -- What we have here is a difference of opinion. It bothers me.
National Football League godfathers decided Cooper Mays wasn’t a proper fit for an honored space in the scouting combine. I thought the Vol center deserved an opportunity. ---- Yes Mr. West, it is a slight to a guy who gave his all for Tennessee on and off the field. Click westwords and read the rest of the story.

That sucks for Cooper

Looking forward to seeing him play on Sundays.

He reminds me a little of Jeff Saturday. Jeff was undersized for center but turned out to be an all-pro. I'm sure Cooper will get some tryouts and hopefully impress and make a roster!

Sucks not to be invited to combine, but he has a ton of good tape and will make a good showing on pro day.

Would be very, very surprised if a team doesn't pick him up even as an UDFA.

Too small?

Hate it for Mays, I think he will play on sundays. But he is small for a center, and he has had injuries which raises questions. Hoping we continue to recruit bigger stronger guys up front. Nothing to do with Mays, he was a good tough player. Just talking overall, if we want to win championships it all starts with a good quarterback and being strong and physical up front. GBO!!!!

Too small?

Are they overly exaggerating his listing on the team website? Cause at the listed 6'4, 311 he'd be well within NFL center size standards. Even if they're giving him an extra inch or two and an extra 10 pounds, 6'2/6'3 300 still fits in the NFL standard.
