Here is a great website for all the linebacker stats for the top perfromers. I think it is safe to say that Kehl helped his status at the combine:

You beat me to it! Yeah it looks like Kehl will likely finish as the top performer in every catagory with only 2 other LBers finishing in the top performer catagory in every skill. All he has to do is make a good enough time in the 60 yard shuttle and he is in. If that doesn't make his stock shoot up i don't know what wiil.

One thing that I like about Kehl is that he came in 10-12 lbs heavier than he played at BYU.

BYU listed him at 231 this year and the combine has him at 235. So 4 lbs isnt a ton of weight added on but I dont think he needs to get much bigger. Size wise he is almost prototypical for an OLB.

Bryan actually lost weight before coming to the combine. He played last fall at between 242 and 248, though his true weight wasn't listed in the roster (no surprise there). He spent the last two months in Southern California working out, becoming leaning and quicker. Here is a link to NFL Draft Scout that talks about this (I believe the original information came from Potkey's blog):

Being from Duke or some other BCS school because all their players are faster and better athletes.

For those who don't want to click the link, here's how Kehl has done:

40 yard dash - 9th (4.68)
Bench - 4th (26)
Vertical jump - 3rd (34&quot
Broad jump - tied for 3rd
3 cone drill - 5th
20 yard shuttle - 5th

I remember thinking I was pretty fast in high school, when I ran a 4.69 40 as a 5'10" 170 pound line backer.

Has anyone heard of Stanford Keglar from Purdue? He is putting up some impressive stuff.
-4th in the 40 with a 4.58
-1st in bench press with 29
-3rd(tied with Kehl) in vertical jump
-2nd in broad jump
-1st in 3-cone drill
-1st in 20-yard shuttle
-1st in 60-yard shuttle

I've never heard of him before, and it sounds like he wasn't a star for Purdue(though he did start for 4 years), but after putting up those stats, I'm sure he's turning quite a few heads.
NFL.com's analysis says he has a "...lack of top-end speed", but that seems far from the truth...
