Not to much available info on these guys...if you have something on any of them that hasn't been seen yet, post it on this thread.
Antwon Burton...combine numbers: Burton (6-1¾, 308) ran his 40 one time in 5.39. Had a 31½-inch vertical jump, 9-foot-5 broad jump, 31 strength reps, and didn't do any shuttles. http://www.nfl.com/draft/analysis/individual_workouts

Antwon Burton, DT, Temple
Burton might turn some scouts off because he is soft-bodied and fleshy and doesn't work out well. But focus on his play and it's clear he gets the job done. Burton has good instincts and quickness, which enables him to get off the ball very quickly. When he is aggressive with hands, he can jolt the offensive linemen and disrupt plays in the backfield. Burton has the natural strength to control offensive linemen. He is a consistently disruptive force against inside runs, and if he learns to bend his knees, he could become a dominant defensive tackle. Burton is never going to be a great pass rusher, but he has the talent to be a productive nose tackle.

At halftime, defensive tackle Antwon Burton and offens
ive guard Stephen Bell were cited as the spring’s most improved defensive and offensive players, respectively. Burton had three tackles for losses, including 1.5 sacks, to lead the Cherry defense.
Any of these guys got a chance to be more than just camp fodder?
