Brandon Flowers, Virginia Tech: Scouts and general managers from a number of teams ranked Flowers as their top cornerback in the draft, but that is likely to change. Flowers was unable to break the 4.5-second mark Tuesday and looked ordinary during the practice session.

Kenny Philips, Miami-Fla.: Philips had been anointed as a top 10 pick prior to declaring for the draft, but that thought process has changed. The safety barely broke 4.6 seconds in the 40, which will knock him into the middle of Round 1.

DaJuan Morgan, N.C. State: Morgan, ranked behind Philips on the safety chart, also failed to live up to expectations. His 40 times were disappointing, clocking in the mid 4.5-second range.

Simeon Castille, Alabama: Castille has fallen on hard times after being a highly considered prospect early in his college career. He was slow Tuesday, tuning in times near 4.7 seconds, which will depress his draft stock further.

Marcus Griffin, Texas: The Longhorns safety was unable to get below 4.7 seconds in the forty, timing as slow as 4.81 on his first attempt.

Notes

Former Wisconsin cornerback Jack Ikegwuono updated the media on his injury status. Ikegwuono hyper-extended his right leg in January while training for the combine. The injury resulted in a dislocated knee cap and torn ACL. Ikegwuono is to have surgery performed this Friday, Feb. 28 and is targeting early October for his return.
