UC cornerback Mike Mickens movin’ on up
University of Cincinnati and former Wayne High School defensive back Mike Mickens was considered by NFL scouts as a Top 5 cornerback prospect entering this year’s draft. However, a lingering knee injury sustained midway through the 2008 season caused the player’s stock to dip. But after an impressive pro day on March 19, Mickens’ stock is on the rise once again.
The 5-foot-ll, 186-pound Mickens ran a 4.53 in the 40-yard dash and was even clocked in the high 4.4’s by some teams. He was cleared to run three weeks ago which makes his time pretty amazing. Mickens posted a 35.5-inch vertical; 9-foot, 11-inch broad jump and a 4.18 in the pro agility drill.
NFL teams in attendance apparently like what they saw from the defensive back.
Mickens worked out recently for the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. He is scheduled to visit the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and New York Jets next week.
True competitor…

Its a shame that Mickens won’t trickle down to when the Packers need to pick up their corner in the 2nd or 3rd.. he would fit Green Bay very well.
