knapplc Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 David, Dennard land Senior Bowl invites by: Brian Christopherson A year ago, Nebraska sent a nation-leading five players to the Senior Bowl: Roy Helu, Alex Henery, Niles Paul, Mike McNeill and Pierre Allen. Not quite as many this year. It appears two Huskers have received invitations. According to an NU spokesman, Lavonte David and Alfonzo Dennard have both been invited to play in the game, which is scheduled for Jan. 28 in Mobile, Ala. In addition, according to the NFLPABowl Twitter account, center Mike Caputo is planning to play in the AstroTurf NFLPA Bowl on Jan. 21 in Carson, Calif. That game will be coached by former NFL coaches Dick Vermeil and Tom Flores. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I expect both to considerably bolster their draft stock.... How is David not a 1st round draft pick again? Anybody been watch Von Miller play? Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well....aren't the "experts" saying that David isn't first-round material!? I beg to differ....yeah, I am being a bit biased lol, but the guy is a playmaker on defense. A team might pick him up late first round, never know. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I was wondering if there would be Dennard v. Jeffrey round #2. But Ashlon Jeffrey is only a junior. Too bad. Quote Link to comment
1Huskernation Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I hope we get several down here, as I live about 15 minutes from Mobile. Always fun to go to the Meet the Players event and get autographs and chat for a bit. Last year was great, as a bunch of them came...but the article forgot Eric Haag...he was down here too.

Count 'Bility Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I think Davids low stock could be due to many reasons. Maybe the demand for linebackers is low right now. His size. He lacks the big size to be that every down warrior in the NFL, but might lack the step to be a safety. One is accurate, he can certainly raise his stock once the people that matter start to see him on the field. Quote Link to comment
WAHusker Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 david is projected as a safety. He is great against the run, but needs work in his pass defense, which is why the round 2-3 projections. Any team will be lucky to get that guy. Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 My prediction would be Dennard as a second rounder and David as a late third to early fourth rounder. Congrats to these two for making it into this bowl. All the best. Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well....aren't the "experts" saying that David isn't first-round material!? I beg to differ....yeah, I am being a bit biased lol, but the guy is a playmaker on defense. A team might pick him up late first round, never know. I thought I saw him as a 3-4 rounder.... I think he deserves higher...but this is probably how the draft will pan out. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I was wondering if there would be Dennard v. Jeffrey round #2. But Ashlon Jeffrey is only a junior. Too bad. NUance, Alshon declared for the draft, I believe. Quote Link to comment
