Bruce Pascoe, of The Arizona Daily Star, reports University of Arizona basketball player Fendi Onobun recently worked out for three NFL teams - the Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots - as a potential tight end. He said he has been told he had really good numbers, running the 40-yard dash in 4.50 seconds and having a vertical leap of 37 1/2 inches. "The only downfall is I've never played before so they don't know if I can take a hit," Onobun said. "I know nothing about the game and I've only been training for a couple of weeks." He hasn't played football since junior high. He said he may be able to catch on with a team during a minicamp or during training camp to continue learning the game.
