Trent Baalke was at Wisconsin pro day to watch this kid who stole the show!!! It was a huge day for Southward, who did not receive medical clearance to run or do any drills at the scouting combine in Indianapolis two weeks ago. He claims an x-ray was mistakenly diagnosed as a fracture in the C-5 vertebra – "I've never injured my neck before in my career," he said – and he was told just hours before his scheduled drills in Indy that he'd have to sit out. After the combine, he sent his x-rays to specialists around the country, including Dr. Bob Watkins, the surgeon who operated on Peyton Manning's neck. He was cleared by everyone, learned he indeed does not have a fractured vertebra, and he finally got to display his "freakish" athletic ability for the pro scouts. 6'1" 210 40 4.31 - 4.38 vertical jump of 42 inches broad jump of 10 feet, 5 inches

Interesting talent, but Spillman is also an impressive athlete, isn't he? They trust him in goal line situations, but they'd prefer Dahl ( ) in the middle of the field. Some guys are natural in coverage and don't hesitate when the ball's in the air. Is this guy one of those?

More of a mid to late round prospect still raw at the position if anything would have to play special teams like Spillman

The numbers are great. In the few interviews and clips i saw he looks like a intelligent human being and a physical football player with consistency problems.

With that said he is 6´0 211 with only 30 5 / 8 arm length.
