Greg Alexander, Patek, Adam Leonard

Jason Kaneshiro profiles QB Greg Alexander, who discusses ways he's been trying to improve.
But a tendency to drop his arm angle became evident as the season progressed, resulting in several deflected passes. Correcting his motion may not be as much a matter of breaking habits as returning to old ones.

"I never before threw it from down here, ever," Alexander said, making a sidearm motion. "My feet were out of position, so I'd have to make up for it by trying to sling it sometimes. I always threw over the top. I'm just going back to basic fundamentals."

To that end, Alexander spent the offseason performing drills to exaggerate an over-the-top throwing motion and better "control the nose" of the ball while also conditioning himself to keep his footwork sound.

In one such drill, he'd put his feet together, lift up and throw the ball on a downhill angle like "coming off a pitcher's mound."
And Stephen Tsai has more about Jacob Patek's deal with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and writes that Adam Leonard may have a private workout with the Seattle Seahawks.
Former UH linebacker Adam Leonard is expected to be invited to a private workout with the Seattle Seahawks.

The past Monday, Leonard was among 15 pro prospects with ties to the Seattle area who worked out for Seahawk coaches.

Leonard was one of two hopefuls who were given post-workout medical examinations. Leonard, who played through numerous injuries at UH, was given a clean medical evaluation.
