The California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal both have some great talents that will be available in the 2012 NFL Draft. Friday will see the beginning of examinations for quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs and both schools will have players participating in them.

Stanford QB Andrew Luck, WR Chris Owusu and Cal WR Marvin Jones are a part of this group who will go through the process of getting various measurements, medical examinations, performing media, taking psychological testing and doing interviews with teams and NFL professionals.

This group won't get to the on-field assessments until Sunday. Saturday will consist of an NFLPA meeting, psychological testing and, of course, more interviews. It's a long weekend for these guys and it's only just starting.
