Who will draft Corey McKeon?

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

It's impossible to predict the NFL Draft, especially the later rounds. Everyone agree?

When it comes to Naperville North grad Corey McKeon of Nebraska, he's equally unsure about who's interested in him the most. Dad -- North football coach Larry McKeon -- doesn't have a great feel either. That's expected.

Here's what they do know: 28 of the 32 NFL teams watched McKeon run a 4.5 40-yard dash and leap 36 inches in his vertical during his pro day at Nebraska this spring.

Narrowing the list even further, McKeon got calls from teams like Indianapolis, Washington, Philadelphia and the New York Giants. They mainly wanted to know how to get a hold of him Sunday, just in case. That's common at this stage of the game.

Here's what else: McKeon's not getting a lot of calls from teams who run a 3-4 defense. On the flip side, the Colts talked about scheme a great deal with McKeon, who sees himself fitting in as an outside linebacker who plays outside the box and drops in pass coverage.
