Tight ends and offensive linemen took on the 225-pound bench press Friday. Take a peek at one of the combine’s most intense challenges.

all eyes were on QB Greg Paulus for Syracuse’s pro day held on Thursday.

It’s quite a sight. A prospect sitting in a cheap blue metal chair, holding court as reporters hover all around him, leaning over each other in a desperate attempt to hear what he says. That precise scenario unfolded for former Syracuse WR Mike Williams on Friday.

Saints offensive coordinator Doug Marrone accepted the Syracuse head-coaching job, a New Orleans source confirmed.

Syracuse recently reached out to speak with Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride about becoming its head coach. Gilbride declined to discuss it, saying he was focusing on Sunday’s game against Philadelphia, but a source close to the school did. Gilbride is on the school’s list of coaching candidates, though it’s uncertain how high he is on the list.
