Colts interests

Few more dudes are being shown interest by the Colts.

Dan Skuta ILB Grand Valley State - 6-2 1/2, 249 pounds

"Skuta, who also worked at linebacker, fullback and halfback, had times of 4.76 and 4.72 seconds in the 40-yard dash, a 35-inch vertical and a 9-foot, 9-inch broad jump. He had a 4.42 short shuttle and a 7.05 three-cone drill, and he did 20 repetitions on the bench press."

"Skuta was the big guy at the little school –- Grand Valley State –- whose domination on the football field was profound enough to help draw 18 NFL scouts to his recent pro day and merit him enough credence to possibly get drafted in late April. Skuta fits right into this draft of hybrid defensive players, except his possible position change wouldn't necessarily be related to his versatility. At 6-foot-2, 249 pounds, Skuta was big enough to play –- at one point he was listed at 270 pounds -- along the defensive line at small college level. When it comes to the pros, Skuta projects as a linebacker, maybe a defensive end, and definitely, a special teamer –- if he makes it."

Andy Schantz ILB Portland State - 6-1 7/8, 235 lbs

"Fifteen teams showed up to watch eight players work out. The two most notable players were LB Andy Schantz and CB Reginald Jones.

Shantz (6-0 3/4, 234 pounds) ran 4.71 and 4.75 seconds in the 40-yard dash, had a 34-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot, 8-inch broad jump, a 7.48-second three-cone drill and a 4.34-second short shuttle and did 19 bench-press repetitions." 

Billy Malone QB Abilene Christian - 6'2 232

"Strengths
One of the all time greatest DII Quaterbacks to ever play. Holds school and conference record for most passing yards ever in a career. Basically has been a 4 year starter, and has had a great TD/Int ratio. Senior year threw for 3213 yds, 62.5% accuraccy, 36 TDs and only 8 Ints. Has shown great maturity, leadership, and perform successful all 4 years. Has a decent height, and good frame to him. Has the arm strength and accuracy to throw at the NFL level.

Weaknesses
His 40 time is around 5 seconds flat, and he is not very mobile going away from pursuit and pressure. Played in DII and is not use to top notch quality defenders. Has a lot to improve on his mechanics and footwork. Will take a few years to develop into a fine back up Quarterback. Another negative is that he is 25 years old."

He's 25 years old because :

"Tulane backup quarterback Billy Don Malone, 6'2 190, who redshirted as a true freshman last fall, and emerged from spring practice as the backup to 5th year senior J.P. Losman, 6'3 215, underwent surgery recently to correct a crink in one of the major arteries feeding his heart.

Unofficial sources close to the Tulane football program report that Malone's college football career is over."
