A Friday take on Sam Bradford from NFLDraftScout.com:
"Sam Bradford was listed at 6-4, 223 pounds by the Oklahoma Sooners. His slight frame had been one of the concerns for scouts, who questioned whether the former Heisman winner had the build to withstand the punishment of an NFL season.
"Bradford helped his own cause (Friday) by measuring in at 6042 (6-4 and a quarter inch) and 236 pounds for scouts today.
"Scouts on hand characterized him as trim in the waist and thicker in his upper body than he'd been previously. His prototypical frame only adds to the seemingly ever-expanding momentum Bradford is gaining to overtake Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh to be the first pick overall.
"Jimmy Clausen also came in bigger than expected, measuring in at 6025 (6-2 and 5/8's) and 222 pounds. There had been some talk in league circles that Clausen would come in at 6-1 or less."
