Former Ducks Dion Jordan and John Boyett were just two of many to compete in the vast array of drills NFL scouts and general managers put incoming rookies through prior to the draft.

The Oregonian’s Aaron Fentress provides the good and the bad news for these and other notable Pac-12 players.

Heart condition could sideline star Ute. Former Utah defensive standout, Star Lotulelei, has hit a bump in his journey to the NFL.

Lotulelei is widely regarded as one of the top players available in this year’s draft class; however, a recent test has revealed he is suffering from a heart condition.

While the severity of the condition is still unknown, this blip on the radar has a multitude of general managers rethinking taking the talented nose tackle with a top draft pick come April.

Dog gone. The Sausage Race at Miller Park in Milwaukee is one of the more popular events that occur in Major League Baseball each summer.

Fans have become accustomed to seeing the sausages and their antics appear on SportsCenter’s Top 10 as well as Not Top 10 plays of the week.

However, police are now in search of the Italian Sausage costume, valued at $3,000, that apparently was taken from the back room of a curling club in Milwaukee last week.
