After a more than successful performance at Lucas Oil Stadium, Skrine said he entered the Combine with something to prove. "I went in there with a chip on my shoulder," Skrine said. "1 knew I was a small school prospect. I had to do more to impress, so I went out there and impressed a lot of people." Skrine said the workout was an experience of a lifetime, but the UTC standout went into the try-out with a different outlook that most would imagine. "The overall experience was like a business experience," Skrine said. Everybody is competing for a spot on a team. I went in there and competed, and I think I came out pretty good " After rocking the Combine, Skrine returned to Chattanooga's Scrappy Moore Field for the Mocs Pro Day, March 23, to perform in front of scouts along with his former teammates. Before the beginning of the 2010 campaign, Skrine was named a preseason Ist Team All- Southern Conference selection.
