03/09/09 - The Patriots have plenty of holes to fill on their offensive line. Typically that's been done through free agency. Occasionally New England will flirt with building their line through the Draft. The successes have been from both the top and the bottom of the Draft board, but so have the misses. One player hoping to put himself on the success side of the equation is Ball State's offensive tackle Brewster was invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis where he was put through the paces. Apparently the Patriots didn't see enough of Brewster at the Combine and have a private workout scheduled with him for this week according to Scout.com Senior NFL Analyst, Ed Thompson. At 6-foot-4, 325-pounds, Brewster isn't the biggest lineman on the list, but he does have the required girth to hold up on a line at the next level. He turned in a 5.31 40-yard time and put up 23 reps in the bench press. - Patriots Insider
02/23/09 - The depth in the 2009 NFL Draft could help Ball State University offensive tackle Robert Brewster, NFL.com Senior Columnist Vic Carucci said. Carucci said this year's draft class is strong at offensive tackle. The strength could cause teams to wait to address tackles later in the draft, possibly making Brewster more valuable, Carucci said. "Teams that have a need in that area are going to wait for the better guys to get pushed down [the draft board] because teams make decisions to go with other positions," he said. "That could create an opportunity for him." Brewster is a worthy prospect that is worth extra looks, Carucci said. Brewster looks like he could be a mid-round prospect in the seven round draft, he said. - Kyle Shaner, Ball State Daily News
02/23/09 - "Seattle, Washington, Houston, Kansas City, the Jets and New Orleans really fell in love with him before his workout. After his workout (on Saturday), I got real positive feedback from those teams." Brady said it was too early to gauge where Brewster could be selected when the NFL conducts its draft April 25-26. Brady said Brewster probably was rated as a sixth- or seventh-round pick when the college season ended, but his workout and interviews at the Combine could have bumped him up into the area of the fourth round. Brewster said he was pleased with his performance at the Combine. He said he talked to several NFL coaches and personnel people who told him they liked his workout. "The Combine was better than I thought it would be," he said. "It was good to be there and have an opportunity to perform. I was blessed that they even invited me to come." Brewster ran an ordinary 5.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash, but he said his time of 1.7 seconds in the first 10 yards (which the NFL uses to gauge explosiveness) was good for a lineman. Brewster said his focus now will be on a pro day workout and finishing school. He's taking online courses through Ball State and expects to graduate in July. - Doug Zaleski, Muncie Star Press
