  Wide receivers always want to avoid those blindside hits, whether it's going over the middle of the field or, say, going to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. In his two years at the University of Florida, wide receiver Van Jefferson managed to avoid blindside shots on the field, but he got drilled by one - figuratively - in Indianapolis. During his physical exam before the start of the on-field drills, doctors discovered a fracture in his right foot. Just like that, Jefferson's Combine was kaput. "It was definitely frustrating," Jefferson said Thursday. "That's the dream that I had since I was a kid, being invited to the Combine and competing against some of those guys out there, just enjoying the process." Jefferson did not see it coming. Or feel it, for that matter. "No, I never had problems with my foot," he said.

"My foot was never hurting me or bothering me. I never felt any pain in my foot. I was surprised that something came back like that (in the exam). "(The doctors) don't know when it happened. I don't know when it could have happened. I have no idea. I was clueless. It just popped up on the screen. Everything happens for a reason, though." Jefferson underwent surgery after the Combine and was facing six to eight weeks of rehab. He reaches the six-week mark Tuesday. "It's going well," he said. "I had my checkup (Wednesday) and it went well. I can finally start getting into a shoe now and doing my exercises and getting back into my routine. "I'm chomping at the bit to get back." - Gainesville Sun
