Brandon Hepburn, who ran one of the best 40-yard dash times
for inside linebackers in the 2013 NFL combine, didn’t disappoint as he ran
what was overheard to be 4.5 seconds. Hepburn is high on several teams’ lists
and could very well be drafted in an early round.
Hepburn has had a whirlwind of a time since playing his last
game for the Rattlers. He was invited to the East-West All Star game. During
that event, he made a big impression on scouts after catching an interception
and a making big hit on an Auburn player. As a reward for making the Allstate
Good Works team, Hepburn was honored at the BCS National Championship game, by
being presented on the field.
“It feels good to be back home. It feels good to compete
with my brothers one last time on the battlefield. It’s a great experience,
rooting each other on and I give the glory to God,” he said.
Among the former players who also got an opportunity to go
through drills were Marvin Ross, Tyler Bass, Padric Scott, Ellie Hyppolite, Daniel
Lee, Alvis Graham, Jerry Willis, Isaac West, and Lavonte Page.
Head Coach Earl Holmes is optimistic that some of the
players' performances could help them get drafted or signed come April 28.
“I would advise all Rattler fans to pay close attention to
the draft. I really feel that you will hear the names called of some of our
players. They’ve put in the work and they represented themselves well today,”
he said.
