WitPs: David Veikune at Senior Bowl Practice

Three different observers, three different opinions of David Veikune's performance vs Michael Oher at Senior Bowl practice...

ProFootballWeekly.com:

Mississippi OT Michael Oher and Hawaii DE David Veikune really got after it in one-on-one drills. Neither side would give any quarter. Oher really seemed to be playing with considerable intensity in the drills I saw early on.

Scott Wright of DraftCountdown.com:

David Veikune was on the losing end of a number of battles with Oher and Robert Ayers was put on the ground in one of his matchups. However, consistency is a major issue with Oher and that reared its ugly head again today, with Veikune beating him inside and outside on consecutive plays. However after that lapse Oher resumed his dominating ways.

Tony Pauline, Special to SI.com:

David Veikune/DE/Hawaii: Veikune has worked hard the past two days and improved his game. The former Warrior was tenacious in run defense and also flew off the edge as a pass rusher. Several of his battles against top-rated left tackle Michael Oher ended up in his favor. In one instance he had the potential first-round pick twisted like a pretzel as Oher failed to protect the quarterback from Veikune's speed.

And here are some summaries of Veikune's days so far from TFYDraft.com:

Monday Practice Notes: Showed very good speed and quickness with good lateral pursuit, but had trouble shedding blocks when he got locked up.
Tuesday Practice Notes: Best day of the bunch. Started the practice by really being a hard assignment against the run. He read his keys and fought hard against pressure. His pass rush was impressive today, even making top rated left tackle Michael Oher look bad on an occasion or two. Plus he worked hard on every down, just a tenacious defender.
