Still pretty impressive but I'm sure there will be some disappointed fans that he didn't break any atomic principles and warp into another dimension with his speed.

What's the deal with the broadjump. Is it just a standing jump forward, sorry I haven't dealt with track in forever. Also Williams had a 10'9'' broad Jump so would that factor come up in comparisons. Besides that I gotta say wow, that's impressive.

Without any other numbers, Lendale may drop a bit. Folks are gonna wonder, what's up?
Bush's numbers looked good, of course the 4.28 he reportedly ran in Sporting News article (during season) would have been nice, but he's plenty fast.
Justice's numbers look very good.

Lucky said:And White didn't run at the combine. The big question about Lendale entering today was if he had the speed to go the distance. That's still a question. Watch the Steelers luck out and get White at the end of the 1st round.
You are not kidding. I wonder if the Broncos are under pressure to take the hometown kid.

Biased?
Using Reggie's fastest 40, the 4.33, only 4 players ran faster then he did at the combine. Chad Jackson with a 4.32, Tim Jennings with the same, Joseph ran a 4.31 and Hill ran a 4.3.
Of those 4 only, Jackson is bigger; and if the reults are true, Reggie bet him in all the other categories were they both ran/did.
He's certainly faster then everybody's favorite man crush.

Is White the type of RB you would want to run behind a zone blocking line? I would think that Denver would want a quicker back like Maroney.

25 reps at 225 weighing probably 205-210 is ridiculous. thats some serious **** right there....and i don't just mean compared to 'average joe'....i mean thats some serious **** even at that level of play. definetely his most impressive number....although it doesn't necessarily translate to the field like the speed drills.

Also to be noted that because Bush ran on a fast surface they added .08 seconds to his time. He really ran a 4.25
The results
SOUTHERN CAL: APRIL 2
They ran outdoors on AstroTurf, which was a fast surface. All 40-yard dash times were clocked electronically, which historically adds about 8/10 of a second to the actual time. For instance, if someone ran the 40 in 4.50 seconds, it really means he ran it in about 4.42 seconds.

on the flip side....
....is pathetic.....over 40 more pounds than Bush and close to half the reps....thats just a complete disregard for caring to prepare for the combine or pro day....because there is no way he can't pump out more than that

Hello, 5'10 202 not 205-210 but his 40 sounds good, still have not heard what other scouts had him at. I wonder what he would run with another 8 lbs on that frame. Kinda disapointing that he could only manage 1 lb in weight gain. I say trade down, he is nothing special.

i'm not saying thats not true.....but why and the **** would they bother to measure something electrically if they know it is going to be off some....

Something Witty !
Bush's 4.33 is still the fastest 40 among RB's . He also has the best long jump and vertical leap for his position . If he pressed 225lbs 25 times he's tied for 2nd among RB's .
This is an impressive workout . He may not have made an A+ but its a 95 . This coming after everyone else worked out and he was in the spotlight . I'm not saying draft RB but just cause your a Vince lover don't add by subtracting .

I think the only way you would be impressed is if he ran at that time backwards. But with your every dying love for VY, I'm not sure. Just give it a rest.

yeah you only validate my point even more....he was 3-8 pounds less than i thought and put up those strength numbers....
if the texans decide they want him to gain some weight....lose a little speed....thats easily done....can be done in TC. now getting that kind of strength....takes years of weight training....
and saying he is nothing special....because he doesn't weigh enough is just stupid.....dumbest thing you could have said.

Electric time always gives the precise time on a run, thus the reason they use electric times at the olympics. Saying a person actually runs faster than the time given electrically is such a ignorant comment. I have not read anything about electric timing at the USC pro day

I actually go to UT right now....i came from the same area as Vince Young in houston (his HS team Madison took out mine in the playoffs - North Shore)....and they way i see it....DD is a better running back....than DC will be a quarterback. I mean DD is arguably in the top ten of running backs when he is healthy.....i'm not so sure david carr will get there (althought we are going to find out this year....and no one will be happier for him than me). But i understand the unknown VY brings....and i can respect a team with the number 1 pick and so much help needed....(and most of all....no more disappointment needed) should pick the much safer, incredible Reggie.

I don't understand the phenomenon with Reggie Bush. I think he is an excellent prospect but not the best collage prospect.
As a runningback, he's electric with the ball in his hand if he can get to the edge. But how will he do once contact is made, in the NFL? His tacklebreaking abilities don't look that exceptional. He doesn't even look as fast as Dunn or rocket Ismail. In fact, one of the LB from Texas stayed with most of the Rose Bowl game. I am guessing their are going to be DBs and LBs in the pros that can do the same. He's shown a limited ability to run between the tackles. In the pros, I'm not convinced he's going to be able to do it really effectively at all. In fact, I don't think he'll be as effective as DD between the tackles. Time will Tell... however, as he learns the ropes, he's certainly got the physical tools to be able to do well, but do you make him the number one pick? This guy is not like Earl Campball, Eric Dickerson, LT, or even TD. I just watched some film of him, he don't run north to south. He's runs like a water bug zigzag, which is okay in collage be in the NFL he'd be crushed IMHO.
As a receiver out of the backfield and in the slot, he's excellent. He can do a lot for a team here when he starts out of the backfield. He has great hands and he's a great open field runner. I understand his value here.
As a kick and punt returner, he seems to have some big value in the eyes of the scouts, but I'm confused, we've a All-Pro kick returner. I don't get it. He doesn't do nothing for the most part in any phase of the return game. He seems like vision and favor the sideline. On kickoffs, he's behind several teammates for the team lead in yard/per/run and none of their numbers are great.
Beyond the phases of the game in which a team thinks they can involve him, there are other factors to consider. First, what of his durability? He's never carried the ball or touched the ball as the true feature back. He averaged something like 13 carries per game in a season last year and that was his high for his career. Is he being valued this highly as a 10-15 carries per game guy in the NFL?
How can he truly be valued this highly while playing on a dominating team against terrible competition?
All in all, I look at this guy, and I see a player for the Texan with a lot of risk. He might be Thurman Thomas, but he might be WDunn. Why are we hearing basically nothing from anyone on his flaws? Why is it just generally accepted that he's great in the return game? Last week, Several scouts wrote that an independent scouting services gave him the highest rating that they've ever given a college player. Higher than John Elway. I don't think he should be the highest rated player in this draft. Do you? I am not sure he should be the highest rated player on his own team. If you're progressive, how do you project Bush's upside and explosiveness at the pro level above MW or Vernon Davis, or even VY? I simply find it crazy. I can't help but feel like a whole bunch of people are drink the Bush koolaid servered up by ESPN and isn't being rational. I've a feeling that I'm missing something or somebody trying to fool me Does anyone else have similar feelings? Do you feel that he is the second comin' of Gayle Sayers? If so, why?
