Getting your player ready...
After months of shaving precious split-seconds from his 40-yard dash time and leaping for that extra quarter-inch on the vertical jump, Mike Maresh wishes the NFL scouts would take one more skill into consideration — sandbagging. “I tell you what: If they did, I’d be drafted in the first round,” the former North Dakota State linebacker said, laughing at the likelihood of NFL teams picking a player based on the strength required to shovel and lift sand. “I should’ve kept track,” Maresh said of the day-and-a-half he spent last month filling bags to help thwart the floodwaters from the swollen Red River.
