Key excerpts from above URL: Indianapolis Colts linebackers coach Jeff FitzGerald led Powell through a workout that lasted for about an hour. Powell, who is being checked out as a linebacker by NFL teams, looked good in the drills and displayed exceptional ball skills.

Former QB and CB at high school, DL/DE at high school and college, now potentially a 3-4 OLB??? This guy is that diamond in the rough that Grigson likes to find

[Dustin]

The first TY worked out so I'm willing to give this guy a shot.

[trailertrash]

If we get a 5th round compensation for Garcon, he'd be worth that pick...

Nice one, I hope this one works out too.

[BOTT]

Kevin Weidl of scouts inc was talking him up on twitter few days ago....

[Mr. Blue]

Couldn't find any real report on him, just his resume

[ColtJ82]

Here is video of him playing SS before he transferred to Harding.

 

[LockeDown]

He looks like a Grigson special.

[UKColt13]

Like him.

 

Love the fact that he was playing SS at De Anza when he was 6'4 240lbs.

[Kyle]

Like him.

and looks like the fastest guy on the field in his highlight video

Great find Chad. Awesome!

[funktacious2]

Great late round option.

[throwing BBZ]

Hitting on guys like this is a must. We do need to hit on a pass rusher to develope this year.
Go Griggs!

[krunk]

Good size and I love the 4.5 speed.

[weslo1812]

Looks impessive! Hopefully we can snag him. Flys to the ball very well. Grigs and his keen eye for talent. Gotta love it.

[Superman]

Might seem like a weird bump, but I'm finally getting into draft mode and came across this kid again. He seems like a Grigson kind of prospect.

[weslo1812]

We may try and snag this guy in the 4th round. Especially If Grigs and them think highly of him. Right now I kinda get an impression they like him. But well see.

[Gavin]

Looks impressive, I like him but I'd rather have Jamie Collins 

[The Peytonator]

Seems like the kind of blue collar guy you want on your team. I like my LBs to be able to play the run, rush the QB, and cover. Sounds like he can at least get to the QB, and he must have pretty good coverage ability if he used to be a Safety.

[atapcl]

Looks like he lost 2 inches in height. Went from 6-4 to 6-2 at the combine. Sounds a lot similar to Jerrell Freeman. Maybe we could groom him to become Freeman's partner at ILB.

[USAFHoosier]

Kid looks good.  Very athletic to play SS then switch to DE.  Could be a great pickup as an OLB

[JoKeR]

Cover 3-4 OLB ???

[JoKeR]

Great late round option.

Probably undrafted, no offense

[funktacious2]

Probably undrafted, no offense

None taken.

[BOTT]

Probably undrafted, no offense

Probably a 4 - 5th rounder actually

[NewColtsFan]

I'd rather have Collins too...   but we're not comparing apples to apples here...

 

Collins is a likely 2nd round pick....   Powell is more likely a 4th to 5th round pick....

[Gavin]

Perhaps but at this point....and maybe it will change, who knows Collins has a top of the 4th round grade of 68.8 while Powell has a very close 68.0

Right....   on NFL.com.....

 

And at ESPN,  Collins has a 77, mid to upper 3rd round...    and Powell has a 65,  middle of the 4th....

 

Everyone sees and values the same thing differently....

 

By the way,  evaluations are far from over and draft boards are not set yet....

Oh I know, much more time to pass before the big night or nights, all depends on who ya follow

[krunk]

Looks like one of the Colts coaches is leading him through the entire workout. I think we'vegot a fair amount of interest in this kid. Some of the things he is doing in this workout appeal more to him being an ILB instead of an OLB. I never only saw one time where he did any drills rushing the passer. May mean something, may not I suppose.

I view him as a fit for the role that Moise Foku played. If they have a role for him at MLB I think he could come in and compete with Angerer and Conner.

[throwing BBZ]

Nice looking prospect.  Took instruction VG, the footwork and athleticism are definitely there.

Thanks for sharing.

[krunk]

If they played him at MLB it's not hard for me to envision him playing next to Jerrell Freeman. He's certainly big enough to.

[LockeDown]

He looks good.

[chad72]

I do think he is looked at more from the coverage point of view than pass rush.

 

However, if they did not have draft eligible OL, there probably wasn't much of a point trotting out one of his fellow Bisons' OL, just to see how he does well vs them in pass rush??? Not sure how things work with Pro Days, if an OL guy they would never be interested in would be asked to come out and show his skills just to see how well Powell can do pass rush???

[NewColtsFan]

Probably undrafted, no offense

 

Both NFL.com and ESPN.com have him rated right around the 4th/5th round....

 

He may be small school,  but apparently he's got pretty big talent....
