Quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs worked out today at the NFL Combine, and as expected quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III largely stole the spotlight. Alabama, however, has several players in Indianapolis this week, and among those Marqus Maze and Darius Hanks worked out this afternoon in front of the NFL scouting community.
Marquis Maze needed a strong showing, but unfortunately had a subpar afternoon. After measuring in as one of the smallest wide receivers in Indianapolis, Maze needed a very strong showing in the 40-yard dash, but in the end he posted a relatively pedestrian time of 4.51 seconds. Undoubtedly the still-healing hamstring injury that he suffered in the BCS Championship Game has hindered his preparation and his time today, but even so any prospect who weighs in at around 5'8 and 185 pounds needs to post a better time. 4.51 is not exactly slow, but it's hard to hold its own when compared to prospects like Stephen Hill and Tommy Streeter, who weighed in at roughly 6'5 and 200+ pounds, post mid-4.30 times.
