INDIANAPOLIS -- Miguel Maysonet, Stony Brook's record-setting running back, arrived at the scouting combine with a chip on his shoulder.
"I have to prove to people I belong here," he told the media Friday.
The small-school phenom, trying to become the first draft pick in Stony Brook history, won't be able to give NFL scouts a full demonstration of his ability. Still bothered by a hamstring injury from early January, Maysonet said he will skip the 40-yard dash during Sunday's running back drills, pushing it back to his pro day, March 21. He's still planning to participate in the bench press and various agility drills.
"When (the injury) first happened, I was beyond frustrated because I feel like I'm letting people down that are supporting me," he said.
Scouts are eager to test Maysonet's speed, but he'll get that chance during his on-campus pro day. From a height/weight standpoint, he checked in as expected -- 5-foot-9, 209 pounds.

Sanchez sounds like he's really bought into Mornhinweg's system: "I just really feel like this coaching staff will get the best out of me."

Regardless of who represents him, Geno Smith will sign a four-year contract for $5 million, give or take a few thousand. #wagescale #Jets

I'm wondering if Jay Z makes it to Cortland this summer for training camp. I'm sure he'd be a big hit at Doug's Fish Fry. #Jets

Some perspective required: #Jets are learning new offensive system, WR corps depleted, defense always ahead of offense this early.

Early thought on #Jets QB comp: Ugh. Sanchez 6-for-11, 3 INTs, 1 sack. (1 INT may have been a sack.) Geno Smith 3-for-10, 1 INT, 1 sack
