Captain American is a Texan

I know he's kind of short and squatty, but I think he'd be a hell of a WILL in Frank Bush's system. He's the fastest LB on the roster, unless they are going to have him be a FB only and ST contributor.

Yeah, THR has a tendency to round things and use "projected" times as official. Back when I had DraftScout subscription, I recorded their "official" times. You know how that goes though, when 32 scouts with stopwatches all look at each other and say, "what did you get?" after a guy runs.

At any rate, I'm happy to have Capt America on the team. I'm just wondering if I can get that on the back of a #46 Jersey.

ok, where does the nickname come from? looks like a possible good pickup

Roy P. was identifying draft sleepers and then finding the names of those sleepers had begun circulating all throughout cyberspace so they weren't sleepers anymore. He wanted Grigsby so badly that he decided to nickname him Captain America as a secret identity to try to supress discussion of him at other sites.

Can't say whether it worked or not but it became something of a minor legend at the old HPF board. Heck, it was spring and we were bored and easily amused.
