WitP: Mouton, The Leonards, Maka, Patek

Jason Kaneshiro interviews Ryan Mouton about the upcoming NFL Draft.

A recent mock draft on sportingnews.com lists Mouton as a fourth-round pick. According to others, he could be headed to the free-agent route.

"I really don't know what to expect," Mouton said.

While the workouts carry weight with scouts, UH associate coach Rich Miano, who is also the Warriors' NFL liaison, said Mouton "put enough stuff on film," to make teams take notice.

"They look at a lot of things," Mouton said. "A lot of them will look at what you did in the combine and pro day, but the one thing they can't take away is what you did on the field."

Colt Brennan might have a different opinion (see previous post).

Stephen Tsai writes that Ryan Mouton will work out for the Tampa Bay Bucs on Friday. Tsai also writes about Adam Leonard...

Leonard has received interest from several teams, including his hometown Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia Eagles.

"We'll see what happens," he said. "I'm looking forward to this weekend."

...and Josh Leonard.

Before Pro Day, he drew little interest. In the past three weeks, he has received inquiries from 20 NFL teams. The Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Dolphins have shown the most interest, sending T-shirts and hats — the photo-op accessories for draft weekend.

Ikei Performance, where former UH players Josh Leonard, Francis Maka and Jacob Patek trained for Pro Day, has posted Pro Day highlight videos of all three on their blog.
