Baylor’s Philip Blake to Work Out for Dallas Cowboys’ Bill Callahan

The Dallas Cowboys attended Baylor’s Pro Day on Wednesday and at least one Bear has earned another look from America’s Team. Baylor center Philip Blake will work out privately for Cowboys offensive line coach Bill Callahan on Monday in Waco. Blake is a projected second- to third-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and the Cowboys are eying him.

Blake can play all positions on the offensive line, which is a primary reason why the Cowboys are interested in drafting him. He didn’t do anything besides snap the ball to Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Robert Griffin III at Baylor’s Pro Day, relying on his strong showing at the NFL Combine to convince NFL teams to draft him. That’s why Callahan wants to see him up close and in-person at Valley Ranch.

“I’m excited about getting a chance to work out for Coach Callahan,” Blake said. “The Cowboys have shown some interest in me. I talked to them [at the Combine]. Right now, I’m just excited about the opportunity to work out and show these teams what I can do.”

Rant Sports’ latest 7-round mock draft for the Cowboys has Dallas taking Ohio State center Mike Brewster in the third round and passing on Blake, who has been accused of lacking in the conditioning department. He often struggled to keep up with quick interior defensive lineman, especially late in games while at Baylor.

Brewster is considered NFL-ready right now while Blake is not only a developmental project, but has an NFL ceiling due to his lack of quickness. However, Blake has good footwork and the Cowboys have a knack of drafting offensive linemen who have room to improve. Blake has at least captured the Cowboys’ attention for now, but it remains to be seen if he’ll actually be drafted by Dallas.
