Morning links: Catching up on the NFL Combine

Connor Halliday, Vince Mayle and Xavier Cooper are in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine, but only Cooper will be a full participant.

Halliday is still recovering from a broken ankle and will be limited to the interviews while Vince Mayle will sit out the bench press because of a recently broken thumb. Seahawks.com wrote about Cooper and Halliday, whose hands were measured at 8 3/8 inches, the smallest of any quarterback at the combine. Seeing as how Halliday threw 1,633 passes in college it's hard to imagine that has hand size changed any NFL scouts' opinions about his ability to spin the ball.

Here are the NFL profiles for Cooper, Halliday and Mayle. And here is a fun flashback to the early days of the combine.

DaVonte Lacy and other Pac-12 players took turns impersonating their head coaches and we have the video here on the blog.
