"I should be starting the rehab process pretty soon. Now it's all about getting as healthy as I can for a Pro Day." Luepke said.Luepke was set to be front and center for the NFL scouts in early February. He was invited and excited an invite to the Senior Bowl, the premier college football all-star game. The executive director of the game, Jim Nagy, told WDAY Sports last April that he already had his eyes on Luepke: "You have a fullback up there we have o ur eyes on.
