The NFL Network guys raved about him and I was thinking about him based on his 3-cone. Sounds like a pick for the future at WILL and a guy who will be a great special teamer for the next couple of years. Bad news for Tank Daniels...
J.J. Pesavento, of Next Level Scouting, reports Brigham Young LB Bryan Kehl measured a height of 6-foot-2 1/4 and a weight of 242 pounds at his Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.18 seconds, the long shuttle in 11.35 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.54 seconds. He measured a 35-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-2 broad jump.
if Wilk. pans out at Will this year, does he move to Mike (when Pierce is done), and Kehl takes over at Will? Wilk did play all 3 positions at Georgia Tech, and would give the Giants a more athletic player in the middle.
Liked the pick. gil said there's my guy when they announced the pick. He also said he can play all the LB positions. The Sirius guys liked the Gianst draft, were a little questionable on the Manningham pick, but really liked the draft. Brandt mentioned their erasing earlier mistakes with Manningham, persumably referring to S Moss.

This guy might be the biggest impact player of this draft class... On specials alone this guy will be a stud. And you can bet he'll push GW for the WILL. He's smart, a good character guy, and has a motor that doesn't quit.
Dont know much about the player. Im a big Geno Hayes fan(who is still on the board). Obviously i dont know as much about these players as the giants staffm but thought Hayes would fit our mold. Fast and athletic from a big time program.

"Kehl is just a flat-out player. He is one of those guys who is always around the football and is a ball hog and makes a lot of plays," BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "I have talked to some people out there and they tell me one thing about this guy, he is not only an athlete but he has got a mind that is absolutely unreal and football is important to him."
"I told Bryan he better play in the NFL," Zac says. "Bryan's a real straight-line kind of guy. He doesn't know if he's going to be able to play on Sundays or not. He promised me when we were 15 that he'd let me be his agent when he got drafted. Watching him in spring, I'm just getting excited. I told him, 'You have to play because that's going to be my paycheck.' I'm so excited for him. It's like the Bryan Kehl highlight tape at practice."
Kehl starred at Brighton High, where he earned all-state honors in football and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. He played for BYU as a true freshman, seeing action in 11 games at linebacker. Kehl returned from his LDS mission in time to play last year, recording 30 tackles and blocking a punt in the season-opener that led to the Cougars' only points against Boston College. Bryan's older brother, Ed, who was a defensive lineman at BYU in the mid-1990s and now owns a car dealership, was adopted by the Kehls when he was 12. "Ed and I are probably the closest," Bryan says. "We have a really strong bond. He always used to pick on me, but it was a brotherly love. I think I'm a tougher person today because of it. At least, that's what he tells me. He would die for me, I know that." Link - ( New Window )
Giants love those 3 cones. 242 seems to have real good measurables
We had 3 6 round picks. I like the trade. Great 3 cone, and I'm sure he's a guy that Reese is high on.
I am loving this draft so far

What is one thing your teammates don't know about you?
I was mad the two-a-days practice were cancelled. I love practice.
I think Coughlin already loves this guy.
maybe a very good special teamer if it doesn't work out.

The guy looks amazing on film.
I definitely wanted another OLB with a motor. He looks like he is it.
He's also apparently older than most draftees because he took 2 years off for religious reasons.
