INDIANAPOLIS — Without taking a snap or throwing a pass, former University of Hawai'i quarterback Colt Brennan made an impression on officials during today's National Football League combine.

There had been concerns about Brennan's physical build after he weighed 185 pounds at last month's Senior Bowl in Alabama.

But today, Brennan officially weighed 207 pounds during a physical examination witnessed by representatives of every NFL team.

He was measured as being slightly taller than 6 feet 2.

Brennan traced his Senior Bowl weight to a stomach flu he suffered in the days leading to the all-star game.

Although he suffered a similar stomach ailment last week, he did not lose any weight.

After undergoing the physical examinations, Brennan met with reporters in the Indianapolis Convention Center. He sat in front of a round table, wearing a gray NFL-issued sweatshirt.

He answered questions about his legal problems when he was a Colorado freshman, defended his label as a "system" quarterback, and spoke of his preparation for Sunday's passing drills. He said he will not participate in the running drills or weight-lifting sessions.

Asked why he was so candid, Brennan said, "I've got nothing to hide. ... I want to tell my story."

The invited players went through their examinations in the RCA Dome. After that, the receivers and quarterbacks took turns being interviewed in two large ballrooms in the convention center.

The NFL Network has set up a remote. ESPN also is showing interviews live.

Brennan will have face-to-face meetings with officials from several teams today and tomorrow.

The NFL Combine invites the top 300 or so pro prospects and is held annually before the April NFL draft. Much like a job interview, the combine allows NFL personnel to test, measure, interview, work out players that teams might want to select to play for their team.
