Alama-Francis is a good prospect coming up the boards, but many see him more as a 3-4 DE. But he worked out well. From CBS Online:

The athletes worked out at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., on FieldTurf. About 60 people were on hand, including Jets coach Eric Mangini, Packers GM Ted Thompson, Dolphins GM Randy Mueller, Browns GM Phil Savage and Tony Softli, Rams' vice president for player personnel.

They were mostly there to see defensive lineman Ikaika Alama-Francis, who didn't worked out at the Combine due to an injury. His father, Joe Francis, was the first Hawaiian quarterback to play in the NFL. He was drafted in 1958 by the Green Bay Packers.


Ikaika Alama-Francis DL Alama-Francis (6-5 1/8, 276) ran his 40s in 4.85 and 4.88 seconds. He also had a 35-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-6 broad jump. He also ran 7.31 in the cone drill and 4.62 in the short shuttle, but slipped and didn't want to run again after he stretched his groin. Alama-Francis looked outstanding in positional workout drills. And as part of Francis' workout, he did tight end drills as well and really looked good.
