David, Dennard going to the Senior Bowl

I feel like Dennards draft stock will rise immenesly during the combine.. He should be on top of almost every category as long as he can run a fast 40 time

 
I have never heard of the Players All Star Classic. It's being played on February 4th at War Memorial Stadium in Arkansas. I don't know if it's televised in this area, but Yoshi is on the South Team roster.

Good luck, Yoshi! Don't break another finger!

I heard Dennard looked great in the 1v1 drills. Dominated WRs and anticipated routes very well. Similar to Lavonte...he did a great job in the LBvRB rush drills. Was called very physical at the point of attack.

 
Scout can suck it. Reports about Fonzie have been nothing but good.

#Nebraska CB Alfonzo Dennard kicked it up a notch today. Exhibiting all necessary coverage skills for a Cover 2 CB, his technique is sound.

 
Alfonzo Dennard was one of the players who hurt himself the most on Monday. First of all, he measured in at an even 5-10 at the weigh-ins. That's not going to kill him, but teams looking for taller corners won't be interested. What really damaged Dennard's stock was how he looked in the drills. He was really stiff in the hips and lost in the one-on-one drills.
Scott Wright from DraftCountdown.com said it best: "Alfonzo Dennard hasn't looked like a first-round pick in any way so far. Fine when action is in front but can't turn and run."

Alfonzo Dennard really struggled on Monday. He was much better Tuesday, though he was used at nickel pretty often, which might ultimately be his position at the next level.
Mike Mayock likened Dennard's body type to Prince Amukamara's, but really questioned his ball skills. That's not surprising, as Dennard had four career interceptions at Nebraska.

Dennard hasn't had a strong week. At times he hasn't done well in turning and running with receivers. Dennard did have a win when he forced an incompletion on a quick out to North Carolina State wide receiver T.J. Graham. This environment isn't the best for Dennard as he performs better in the games when he is playing within a scheme. This week could bump his stock down.

Two cornerbacks bounced back from a rough start to this week. Alfonzo Dennard made a really nice pass break-up on Brian Quick on seven-on-sevens.

Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard had a mixed performance. He looked bad in trailing a pass route from Cal receiver Marvin Jones. Dennard didn't turn and run well with Jones. Downfield Dennard lost his feet and fell down to let Jones get wide open. In run blocking, Dennard came back to beat two blocks from Posey. Jones lost a block to Iowa State's Leonard Johnson, but out-muscled Johnson for a reception in the pass-receiving portion.

Way to go Dennard...sound technique is good to hear, must be doing something right. Raymond or Sanders get the credit for that?

Remember Raymond is a fundamentally sound technique coach and changed Dennards style up a bit (which Dennard didnt exactly like at the time, or anyone else on this board for that matter) Too early to tell if it was Raymond, Dennard was being talked about going in the first round last year, but Ray's been a great recruiter for us so far.

I'll give this one to Sanders, but im liking what Raymond is bringing to the table so far. Would be interesting to talk to Dennard and see what he would say, just to know how good coach Raymond will be for us, only time will tell i guess.

CB Alfonzo Dennard of Nebraska leaves Mobile with a draft grade much lower than when he arrived. Dennard was stiff and struggled all week. The projected first-rounder was beaten by receivers who are likely last-day picks. While it's a bit premature, some scouts on hand say Dennard may have to move inside to safety, a thought that could further depress his draft stock.

I stand corrected. But those are some wildly disparate accounts. Makes you wonder if they're looking at the same players.
