It’s a busy Saturday, Florida State fans. Before you sit back and watch a day full of FSU action, keep it here for the latest. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Running back Dalvin Cook and fullback Freddie Stevenson spent the last three seasons sharing a backfield for Florida State. On Friday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, the two showed off their skills.
Cook ran a 4.49-second 40-yard dash and bench pressed 225 pounds 22 times. Stevenson put up the 225 pounds 24 times, which was the second-most among backs behind only Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine, who did 30. Stevenson ran a 4.75 in the 40-yard dash.
Tackle Roderick Johnson was in Indianapolis on Friday, but did not participate in drills. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends will work out on Saturday. For FSU, that means receivers Travis Rudolph, Jesus Wilson and Kermit Whitfield.
