03/30/09 - Clemson Pro day: Representatives from 25 NFL teams made their way to Clemson’s Pro Day on Thursday, March 26. The majority of drills were done indoors on what was a very fast rubber track, with the exception of the three-cone drill, which was held outside on FieldTurf. DB Michael Hamlin (6-2 1/8, 209) pulled his hamstring warming up, and stood on his numbers from the combine. – Gil Brandt, NFL.com
03/24/09 - Clemson Pro day: Michael Hamlin was not sure how Tuesday’s Pro Day at Clemson was going to work after he came up gimpy nine days ago at the Athletes Performance Center in Pensacola, Fla. “After last Sunday, I was not even expecting to work out today,” the former Clemson safety said. “I got more done than I expected.” But Hamlin, who hurt his hamstring, said he started feeling better early last week and decided he was going to suck it up and make the best of it. It's a good thing he did because it appears he quite possibly helped his status for April’s NFL Draft. “Hopefully, I have moved myself up a little bit,” he said. He must have done something right because scouts from Houston, Dallas, Miami and Cincinnati all approached him Tuesday and talked to him about how he could fit in their system. He plans to try and meet with each of them again in the coming weeks. Hamlin has already spoken to Seattle, New England, San Diego, Chicago, Pittsburgh and the New York Jets. In all, there were 25 teams in attendance to watch more than 20 former Clemson players workout in hopes of trying to improve their stock in the draft or maybe earn an invitation for a free agent tryout after the draft. Hamlin, who only did position drills, hopes the three-hour session moved him up the draft board. “I got to the point where I just sucked it up and did as much as I could today,” he said. - Will Vandervort, CUTigers.com
03/20/09 - He is a strong safety prospect who has been productive since his redshirt freshman season. Hamlin emerged as one of the most productive safeties in the country as a junior, earning second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors after totaling 80 tackles and four interceptions. Last season, Hamlin received first-team All-ACC honors after collecting six interceptions to go with 97 tackles. At the combine, he ran 40 yards in 4.57 seconds and soared 37½ inches in the vertical jump. - Frank Cooney, The SportsXchange, NFLDraftScout.com
