David Veikune talked about the NFL combine

HSB Note: "Veikune ranked third among defensive linemen in the bench press with 35 repetitions of 225 pounds at the annual showcase for NFL Draft hopefuls. He also ranked fourth in the 3-cone drill with a time of 7.20 seconds and ninth in the 40-yard dash at 4.87 seconds, although he said he timed lower in his earlier runs. Veikune also had a vertical leap of 33 inches covered and 9 feet, 2 inches in the broad jump."

About the interviews were the most important thing at the combine, Veikune said:
"The main thing was the interview process. People like to focus on the physical stuff, but meeting with NFL teams and head coaches, that's the main thing you get out of it. ... I felt it was a positive experience." (HSB)
