7:20 PM — NFL Network reveals that Shea Patterson finished with an athleticism score of 73, which checked in fifth among quarterbacks at the combine.

6:13 PM — Metellus displays impressive footwork and foot speed while pedaling between cones, before reeling in a pass rocketed at his head.

6:10 PM — Metellus records a 36.5" vertical jump, which ranks sixth among safeties.

6:07 PM — Metellus shows good lateral movement and then hauls in a short pass rocketed at him.

6:00 PM — Metellus backpedals and then hauls in a 25-yard pass at the 40-yard line, keeping his catch percentage perfect on the day.

5:51 PM:

5:49 PM — Metellus displays nice backpedal between the cones and then hauls in a short pass at the end of the drill.

5:42 PM — Metellus jumps to haul in another deep 40-yard pass.

5:37 PM — Metellus hauls in a deep pass beautifully (appeared to be about a 40-yarder) with two hands.

"Nice catch," one of the observers said.

5:30 PM — Metellus shows nice backpedal and then hauls in a pass cleanly in the latest drill the safeties are doing.

5:06 PM — Metellus runs a 4.56 40 on his second attempt, a slight improvement from his 4.59 the first time around.

"Nice run by Metellus," Eisen observed.

4:55 PM — Metellus runs a 4.59 40-yard dash on his first attempt.

"I love watching him play the last several years," NFL Network host Rich Eisen said. "He's got heart."

"That's a good time," NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah added. "He's got range."

4:05 PM — NFL Network flashes a graphic saying that Michigan's 11 invitees are tied with Ohio State for the second most of any school. LSU has the most with 16.

3:27 PM — The cornerbacks are now going through pass catching drills, and Hill is unsurprisingly not taking part in this portion either.

1:58 PM — Hill puts up 21 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press.
