Morning after thoughts from DB workout … There was a lot to chew on at yesterday’s on-field workout for the defensive backs at the scouting combine in Indianapolis.

LB/ERs set to run … It appears the LB/ER group should be running their 40s any time. The LB/ER group did measure and Alabama’s Will Anderson came in pretty much as expected; he’s 6-3.5, 253 with 34-inch arms.
