Great news for Dustin, who I believe started all 4 yrs at PSU, and unfortunately was hurt towards the end of last year:

"Portland State offensive lineman Dustin Waldron out of Marist High School has been invited."

Good for Dustin to be recognized!

Great to hear.

Hopefully teams will be impressed at the combine like they were with Julius last year.

Teams could always use a stud O-Lineman. Dustin hopefully will find a job and be playing consistently on Sundays in a few years.

Glenn, Kalil lead impressive group of offensive linemen at combine

The combine got under way in earnest Saturday as the offensive linemen took to the field of Lucas Oil Stadium to be physically tested and then work through a battery of blocking drills. It was a very athletic group of blockers who pleased scouts as most exceeded expectations with their outstanding physical skills. Here's a look at the risers and sliders from the group.

Risers:

"Dustin Waldron, Portland State : The small-school tackle showed a lot of what scouts hoped to see. His 5.35-second 40 was nothing outstanding, yet his 10-yard split, which stopped watches at just over 1.7 seconds, was notable. Waldron looked quick and athletic throughout the drilling session."

I hate it when they call us "small school". We have a large enrollment, thank you very much. But good for Dustin!

It's a euphemism for lower division.

Hopefully he sticks on and gets a shot at the 53 man roster next season.

I know Ryan Lilja on the Chiefs' O Line just retired, so that should definitely help. We'll see this offseason how much turnover there is on that line group, because 1. Crennel is no longer the coach, and 2. if a lot of linemen are let go, Dustin has a better chance of making the roster next year.
