Jermaine Gresham said he’s good to go in the NFL Draft. Gresham said his knee was “yanked” and “tugged on” all day Thursday at the Combine, and “not one doctor said anything” but good about his knee. Gresham said he’s doing all the workouts at 100 percent health and will go through all the drills at the Combine.

If that medical report holds, Gresham will rise on the draft boards. He’s a 6-foot-6, 261-pound tight end who runs fast and catches well.

Gresham, whose senior season at OU was wiped out by a knee injury, talked to the Combine media Friday about wanting to be great.

“I want to be known as a blocker, as a passcatcher, special teams,” Gresham said. “Being a great guy in the locker room. I want to be known for everything. One of the all-time greats.”
