*** Stinson did not perform in any on-field drills. Because he did not appear in the media room, the reason is officially unknown. A groin injury forced him to leave the Senior Bowl after the first practice.

How would we know?   :dunno:

Very strange on his part. If there is anyone coming out for the draft that needs to prove something, it's Ed Stinson.

The scouts are fairly high on Stinson.

Quote
Long-framed, long-armed, prototype five-technique capable of kicking inside and manning the nose. Very impressive strength and power. Can play anywhere along a "30" front. An underrated cog in a defense, Stinson could play a long time in the league and may never receive his due outside the building.

They also say this:

Average foot speed. Has some stiffness in his body. Plays a bit flat-footed. Not sudden to get off blocks. Limited burst and explosion to reach the outside -- can secure speed backs. Will require some patience absorbing a game plan.

My point on Stinson is that he was not known as a great player. Good maybe, but certainly not great. I would think he would want to try and show out at the combine to raise his stock.

I'm sure Ed will work out at the Bama Pro Day.  He's probably not 100% healthy.
