TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Based on the reactions of Florida A&M football fans who packed into the Hansel Tookes Recreation Center, the 18 former Rattlers who went through a battery of strength tests were impressive.But ultimately the biggest impression they want to make is on the throng of professional football scouts who showed up with stopwatches and legal pads. For about two and a half hours they clicked times and made notes as the players leaped, lifted and sprint outdoors on an artificial turf field adjacent to the recreation center.
They got plenty of advice from former FAMU cornerback Curtis Holcomb, who was impressive enough during last season to be drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. "I've been telling these guys to just calm down," Holcomb said. "This is your day. This is for you; calm down and be yourself."
