UPDATE From Wednesdays Practices from NFL Draft Countdown

• The player I was most looking forward to seeing today was San Jose St. CB Coye Francies and he did not disappoint. Francies is a great athlete who is super quick, has smooth hips and transitions well. Francies also stays low in his backpedal and as an added bonus he is very tough and physical. I especially liked a series in 1-on-1's when he got a good press at the line then recovered in time to break up a pass. Francies did get beat more than I like to see but all in all I was extremely impressed. In fact, Francies was probably the best defensive back I have seen all week.


From a report after the Senior Bowl practice on tuesday:

Best athlete: CB Coye Francies of San Jose State edges Smith, looking smooth and athletic during South team drills. Francies' burst and change-of-direction skills were impressive.
