Eric Tomlinson’s NFL Draft Prospects

draft… the first round will be underway tomorrow and the draft will continue through saturday… one player hoping to hear his name called is utep tight end eric tomlinson… tomlinson measures in at 6-7, 270… he’s got great hands but he’s best known for his ability as a run blocker… he helped the miners forge the third best rushing attack in the conference last season … and he did it while playing hurt… which is a big reason why his coach thinks he can play in the nfl … “Many players wouldn’t have played in some of the games he played in with some of the injuries he had. That’s what they’re looking for in the nfl. They’re looking for guys with mental toughness, guys who play hurt, guys who block and those types of things. Eric has that quality so i think he’s well prepared.” of course, coach kugler coached in the nfl so he knows what it takes… tomlinson’s draft prospects vary. some see him as a late round pick… others as an undrafted free agent… floyd mayweather called this saturday
