With spring football kicking off in less than a week, a look at Dartmouth's mat drills courtesy of the football office:

Former Yale tailback Tyler Varga was joined by Sacred Heart safety Gordon Hill and Mike Flacco, a tight end from the University of New Haven and the Jacksonville Jaguars, in a Pro Day in Connecticut. Varga ran a so-so 4.6 in the 40 while putting up solid numbers in the other tests.
"He's a definite draft pick. Someone's going to be very lucky to pick him up," agent Joe Linta told the New Haven Register. (LINK) Hill has also been projected as a potential draft pick. Flacco is the brother of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.
Linta, whose son TJ is a quarterback at Brown, was the agent for former Dartmouth tight end Casey Cramer, the seventh-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Bucs in 2004 who played a handful of years in the NFL.
