SF Examiner: Zack Follett working out for the Raiders and 49ers

Rob Calonge

Several sources are reporting that one of the most feared Pac-10 linebackers from 2008 will be participating in NFL workouts close to his old stomping ground.  Scout.com is reporting that Follett has scheduled to workout with the Oakland Raiders (privately) and the San Francisco 49ers (with other local NFL hopefuls).

Follett reportedly already interviewed with the Buffalo Bills and could be on a few other NFL radars for the coming NFL Draft.  So what does this all mean?

Well, when it comes to the NFL Draft, it could mean nothing.  It's common for teams to workout players even if they are unsure of their interest in them.  It could be that they expect another team within their division to be interested in the player working out for them and they'll take the opportunity to scout the player further for future use. For instance, the Raiders often don't workout players that they intend to draft - and if they do work them out, it's rarely reported.
