Indianapolis, IN - A short night's rest on Saturday made for an even longer Sunday as DeMeco and his fellow linebacker's ferried through the onslought of measurements, poking and proding and endless interviews with NFL front office staff. In addition to the normal height and weight measurments, the Wonderlic (psychological) exam was given as well as measurements for hand span and arm length. In addition they were required to lift 225 pounds as many times as possible. The 225 lift is the most often skipped drill at the combines.  

Much of today's work centered around meetings with the NFL Player's Association, more pschological evaluations and meeting with the remainder of NFL front office personnel and coaches. On Tuesday morning, DeMeco will hit the turf of the RCA Dome for the first time as he participates in the physical drills. While the physical drill portion of the combines are the most strenuous, they are the most anticipated. Anticipated because of their certainty that the rigors of the combine are about to conclude.

Physical drills will begin with a 40 yard dash. Each player is given two chances to score their best time. Each time they run two times are taken and recorded. The best of the four recorded times are entered as the player's score. After the 40 comes the 20 yard short shuttle. Two times are recorded for both the left and right lateral portions of the short shuttle. The best times for left and right are recorded as the player's score. After short shuttle its on to the vertical jump where they are given two chances to record their highest jump. Physical drills conclude with 1-on-1 coverage drills against running backs. DeMeco's times and scores will be posted on the website as soon as they are released.

DeMeco will depart Indianapolis Tuesday afternoon and return to Arizona for workouts. His next public workout will be at the University of Alabama's Pro Day on March 15.
