Griffin, Luck steal spotlight again at NFL combine

"I think my biggest strength is my hands," he said. "A receiver's job is to catch the ball. That's something my dad taught me from a young age, something I've continued to work on."

as one of the 300-plus invitees to this week's workouts in Indy, the son is hoping to emulate his father's NFL career.

"My dad was a great route runner, had great hands," Nick Toon said. "He was fast, and he was one of the first of his kind as far as the big receivers go. I think I look like him a little bit when I'm out there playing. That would only make sense."
