Quote:The Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins were in Birmingham to take in UAB pro-day and offensive lineman Chris Hubbard was the star of the show.

Measuring 6034/290lbs, the athletic blocker ran the forty in the upper 4.8’s and posted 21 reps on the bench. Those on hand told us Hubbard looked terrific in drills. He easily moved about the field and looked smooth and natural in all the exercises. Many in the scouting community feel Hubbard was a combine snub and the college tackle will get considerations in the late rounds by a zone blocking offense looking for a guard.

Inside linebacker Marvin Burdette ran faster than expected despite pulling a quad during his first forty. Burdette, who played in both the Raycom and Casino Del Sol All Star games, measured 5095/232 then posted a forty time of 4.72s before injuring his leg. He gutted out the drills as best he could before ending his day. Both the Steelers and Texans showed a lot of interest in Burdette, who projects as an inside backer/special teams player.
