Cushing, Crabtree and Orakpo...

The NFL Network continues to follow some of the prospects around as they prepare for the biggest day of their lives. This week, we get to see what Brian Cushing (LB, USC) and Michael Crabtree (WR, Texas Tech) have been up to since the combine. Cushing gets what looks like the most painful massage I've ever seen, whilst Crabtree goes for a haircut at his local barber. This is the side of Crabtree we knew before the 'circus' in Indianapolis. He's a grounded kid, it hurts him that he hasn't been able to show for teams via work outs.

NFL.com also recorded this segment with Brian Orakpo. The Texas defensive end talks about his roots and a bit about his playing style. Orakpo is another individual with good character and humble personality. Whether he figures in Seattle's draft plans will surely depend on whether the team views him as a potential every down 4-3 defensive end or more of an OLB in the 3-4.
