Maryland offensive tackle Jared Gaither, who will be available in Thursday's NFL supplemental draft, had his workout for NFL teams today, and the results were mixed. DraftHeadquarters.com files this report:Gaither check in at 6-feet-8¾ and 324 pounds. He ran between 4.98 and 5.14 seconds in the 40-yard sprint. He posted a vertical jump of 31½ inches, a broad jump of 9 feet, 3 inches, a short shuttle of 4.49-4.53 seconds and a cone drill of 7.12-7.25 seconds. He was able to do only 15 repetitions on the bench, having slightly injured his shoulder last week while preparing for Monday's audition.
John Clayton of ESPN reported that 16 teams showed up to Gaither's workout, which is a bit of a disappointment; Clayton's colleague Len Pasquarelli reported beforehand that most teams would be there. Clayton says the Jaguars are particularly interested in Gaither's services. They can probably get him for a fourth-round pick in the 2008 draft.
