Joe Person also has some coverage HERE. He reports how Jamon and J Cook had a great showing recently.
USC OL JAMON MEREDITH: South Carolina’s starting left guard for 2008, Meredith, was near the top among his position in the 40. The USC graduate posted a 4.97, good for second among offensive linemen, after weighing in at 6-foot-4½, 304 pounds earlier in the week. Meredith also bench pressed 225 pounds 31 times on Saturday, putting him ninth among offensive linemen, and he was among the top 10 in broad jump (8-9).
USC TE J COOK: Injured his Quad muscle in his second attempt at the 40 yd dash. His 1st attempt was a 4.5 — fastest among the tight ends and faster than last year’s quickest tight end, Dustin Keller, who was selected 30th overall by the New York Jets.
USC WR McKINLEY: Ran a 4.44 in the 40 and finished second among WRs in the 20 yr shuttle with a 4.1
