Saffold Impresses at East-West Shrine Game Practice

Rodger Saffold was invited to play in the East-West Shrine game January 23rd at 3 p.m. in Orlando Florida. A good showing at the game and the NFL combine next month could significantly improve his draft potential. Most mock drafts predict he will be selected in the 4th round. Today was the 2nd practice for the players and Saffold has turned a lot of heads. Here is some comments the coaches have made about him after today's practice.

"Saffold shines in 1-on-1s: Watching 1-on-1 pass rush drills and Indiana OL Rodger Saffold stole the show. He showed great feet and stoned LSU's Rahim Alem twice, the second time putting him on the ground. On Alem's first try, he tried a spin move on Saffold, but Saffold showed nimble feet and recovered to stay in front of Alem. On a later turn, Saffold kept in front of Ole Miss' Greg Hardy off the edge. Hardy showed good explosion and pop off the end, but Saffold did a good job of shuffling his feet, mirroring and staying in front of Hardy."
