Barrington native Lukas Van Ness played defensive end at Iowa and is projected to be a first-round draft pick in April. He has risen from a relatively obscure prospect to a potential first-round pick in a matter of months and just had an impressive week at the NFL combine.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Top NFL draft prospect Lukas Van Ness was as bummed as anybody at the NFL combine this week when he learned that the Blackhawks traded Patrick Kane to the New York Rangers. "That was a sad day," Van Ness said."I'm a Kaner fan. I grew up watching them going through their Stanley Cup days, and obviously was a huge fan, but sad to see him go."
He impressed Thursday night during his combine workouts. Notably, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.58 seconds and did the three-cone drill in 7.02 seconds. Not bad for a 6-foot-5, 272-pound man. He did, however, see a significant number of snaps last season, despite not starting. He totaled 6½ sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 13 games.
" obviously a cool connection," Van Ness said."It'd be fun to play alongside him."
