NFL Combine

[b0ng]

C. Patterson - 4.37/4.40. I like his speed.

[b0ng]

Denard Robinson has a ton of speed as well. Wonder who is going to try to teach him how to run routes.

Makes me wonder if the track is faster this year.

Did Rich Essein whatever his name is break his 40 record? LOL!

Rodney Smith is a nice looking prospect tall,fast and, good built. 4-5 rounder?

[Playoffs]

Mayock said multiple teams had Goodwin at 4.19.

.

[76Texan]

Looks like they adjusted the numbers now; some of them dropped off quite a bit.

[Playoffs]

Deandre Hopkins, Cobi Hamilton, and Goard to a lesser extent popped out of that first group for me.

Hopkins owns it. Cleanest looking guy out there by a good bit, to me.



Group 5 next on my DVR.

[IDEXAN]

Who knew Aggie Ryan Swope was as fast as Tavon Austin ?

[SW H-TOWN]

Yep, I like Hopkins too. IMO he is the most complete WR out there. He gave LSU fits, really showed up in that big game, and 18 TD last year is really impressive. The only thing is that I think that there will be many more quality WR in round 2 than quality DT. We need to come out of this draft with a starting WR, DT, and ILB.

Swope's times are amazing. Biggest surprise to me so far. 1.47 10 yard split vs 1.45 for Tavon Austin. Did not see that coming.

[Playoffs]

Kinile Davis RB, 230 lbs, 4.30 40 with 1.49 10 yard split.

Probably need to wait until these times become official.

How did DeAndre Hopkins run 4.57?

I've heard the official times are always slow and not used by scouts. Supposedly unofficial are more realistic, but hand times by scouts are the standard and often lower. So I go by "unofficial" times.

We'll get pro day times that'll tell the tale.

He is 214 pounds. Where did you read that he lost weight?

[Gebo] Smith turned in a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine on Sunday morning, the best 40 time of any quarterback in this year’s draft class. Running in the 4.5s puts Smith on par with what Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick ran when they were in the Combine. Both of them have shown a great ability to use that speed on the field.

What’s interesting about Smith, however, is that he tends not to use his speed on the field: Smith was much more a passer than a runner at West Virginia, passing for 4,205 yards and 42 touchdowns while running for 151 yards and two touchdowns last season. So Smith should not be viewed as a running quarterback.

Still, proving he has the speed to make plays with his feet — especially at a time when NFL teams seem to be intrigued by the ways that running quarterbacks can threaten opposing defenses — can only help his draft stock.link

Something that we could have used.

[CloakNNNdagger]

RB Onterio McCalebb ran an unofficial 4.27 (first) and 4.21 (second). Will have to wait until official time comes in to see if he bests CJ.

Florio reports

The news that West Virginia receiver Tavon Austin ran an unofficial 4.25-second 40 (which officially was adjusted to 4.34 seconds) was eye-opening but not surprising.

The numbers, which strip away the potential illusions created by game film generated against inferior talent, confirm the best quote we heard from an NFL G.M. while attending the Scouting Combine.

“He runs like he has a rocket in his ass,” said the G.M. on Thursday. (He didn’t request anonymity, but we’ll assume he didn’t want to have his name attached to the remark.)
