[Mike Caputo] NFLPA All-Star practice: C Mike Caputo, Nebraska: The short, squatty Caputo likely lacks the size to be able to handle the mammoth interior defenders of the NFL. That didn't stop the former Cornhusker from turning heads Wednesday with his rugged play. Caputo has quick hands to grasp his opponent after snapping the ball and a powerful base that defenders couldn't bull rush through. His lack of height was typically beneficial Wednesday as he won the leverage battle and was able to push defenders off the ball. On one occasion, however, an equally short opponent -- Humboldt State's Andrew Iupati -- beat Caputo with an effective swim move. This play was the exception to the rule for Caputo, whose gritty play will endear him to offensive-line coaches.
