Interesting to see that Peterson will run at the combine. I guess if he's been working with sprint coaches it makes some sense to get that run out of the way and prove that 4.37. And I guess Jarrett isn't ready to show his blazing 4.6 yet

February 22 (12:01 AM): SC WR may not run… One of the big questions each year at the combine is which players won’t take part in the on-field drills including the 40-yard dash. As reported earlier, Oklahoma junior RB Adrian Peterson, a potential top 5 pick this coming April, reportedly will run. On the hand, the buzz around the combine is that Southern California WR Dwayne Jarrett won’t run the 40 until USC’s pro day later in March.

February 21 (12:01 AM) Sooners back to run in Indy… One of the big issues every year at the combine is whether the top stars will actually workout as many prefer to wait until their respective on-campus pro days. One player who reportedly isn’t going to pass on the opportunity to impress pro scouts this weekend is Oklahoma junior RB Adrian Peterson who says he will be running this weekend. Indeed, Peterson, who has a chance to be a top 5 pick this coming April, was quoted as saying that he wants to run under 4.3 in the 40-yard dash this week. Peterson will get his chance on Sunday morning when the RBs take to the field with the QBs and WRs for their on-field workout.

Jarrett is smart to wait if he needs a few more weeks of prep...not a big deal if he runs it fast on Pro Day.

If I'm not mistaken Jerry Rice was knocked for his 40 speed.

 

[Bob_Magaw]

cris carter wasn't fast...

we could all come up with names of WRs that are fast & slow that were great or terrible...

in general, all things being equal, if it looks like two prospects are similar in terms of hands, route running ability, etc, you'd rather have the guy that runs a 4.4 instead of 4.6...

rice is a great example of how quickness is probably more important that straightline speed... he wouldn't win too many 40s, but in the open field, with the ball in his hands, he was rarely caught from behind when he was younger... GREAT, GREAT short area burst & acceleration...

let me give you another one then well the same one actually.Who would you rather have Bryant Jonhson or Anquan Boldin? Consequently both went to the same team but bryant ran a 4.45 and boldin ran a 4.78. lol sometimes we (myself included) let a 40 time make us forget about production. Sometimes we get so caught up at looking at that steak down the road when that sandwich in your bag would fill you up just the same. lol I dont know where I come up with these things. But I do understand what you mean.

When is the Browns-Buccs coin flip going to happen?

7:45 AM Friday Morning (tomorrow) I assume it's tomorrow?We were just informed that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cleveland Browns will have a coin toss at 7:45 A.M. to decide the 3rd and 4th picks in the draft. LINK-Scroll Down

prymetyme,

I don't disagree with ya but if some 300-350 pound behemoth runs a fast 40 my jaw still drops. I understand much of his playing time will be spent walking or standing still(whatever ya want to call it) but I still figure that speedy time=very good player or very nice project to develop etc. Maybe I'm guilty of falling for this but .....those esp good times get me every time

 

[Rovers]

The combine is fine and all, but it's only from the game films that studs, football players can be identified. Why NFL teams seem to get lost in the sauce regarding this fact is a head scratcher to me. For the smarter teams, I think the combine is more about evaluating work ethic and character.

Well my philosophy is you can teach/coach skill you can't coach speed. But sometimes you have to make the exception. My eyes get big during the 40 runs too. When I watch the Wr's I like to watch how the catch the ball and how fluid they are. Then I put a time on what would be acceptable for their skillset. If they beat it then thats gravy if they dont then not a great sign.ie if you got a big wr runs fluid good body position 6' 2-4" range I usually put sub 4.55 on them if they beat it gravy if they dont then you really have to examine them.

Not to verbally assault LHUCKS, but my Jarrett crack was meant to be a joke since LHUCKS fanaticizes more about the Pac-10 and its players than teenage guys do over Playboy Playmates.I'm actually a pretty big Jarrett fan, but I wouldn't mind seing him run a 4.6 if it helps him fall to #16.

That drill where they catch it, drop it as they turn, catch it, drop it as they turn etc. Those matter to me. I can't recall now but someone last year was awful and he wasn't very good in the NFL too. Maybe that Hass guy? I understand they come quick and all but IMO they better catch a high percentage.When they do it at the pro bowl or "skills competition" some of those WRs use one hand to catch many of the passes, dropping the ball with the other hand. I don't expect the college(soon NFL) guys to do that but don't let their be a giant gap there. Catching the ball should be soooo elementary at this stage in their career.You can't convince me that someone that stinks in that drill will ever be able to "find" and catch a Favre bullet.

that would be D.Hagans and J. Avant. they sucked at that drill. on the other hand Colsten excelled at it. he was the guy that I said if he runs a 4.5 he should translate well.

Calvin Johnson 239 lbs. That rules out the Lions taking him.

The combine is the place to run. I do not understand why everyone does not at least run their 40 there. It is a super fast track. Probably 2nd only to Ohio State's surface.

Actually, most people believe that it's a slow track. But I don't understand why they don't run there either. Everyone's that has any interest is going to go to the Pro Day workout anyway. If you screw up at your ProDay workout then that's it. There are no more chances. If you run a bad time at the combine you can come back and run a better time at your Pro Day. If you run a good time at the combine, you don't need to run at your Pro Day.

At this point I'd think most of the teams are smart enought to know this.. (Bradway is gone right?) That doesn't mean you don't utilze the combine 100%. I think THE most important part of the Combine, especially for guy's like Mangini, is the interview process. The interview HAD to be a huge factor in their Schlegel pick last year ; )

The 'slow track' is a myth created by agents who did not want their clients to run there. It put everyone on the same level playing field as far as speed. It is a fact that the track is actully 'fast'. That was proven over the last 2 years. If it was a 'slow' track as some claim, what would people like Matt Jones and Chad Jackson run on a 'fast' track? Sub 4.3? It's fast and that's a fact.

Didn't they change the surface there? I could have sworn they changed the surface there, and that it's more on the fast side. Maybe not.

Len P.'s combine article from yesterday says yes...

"the once-notoriously sluggish surface at the RCA Dome has been replaced, creating quicker times"

 

[crnerblitz]

For those without NFL network I heard one of the announcers quote Charlie Wiess as saying something like 'in a few years Brady Quinn will be the third best QB in the NFL'. This was rebutted by another announcer supposing ' What was Wiess suppose to say about his favorite guy'

Quinn is a specimen and we will find out how he measures up to others in this class soon enough. What I do like about him over Russell is that he has that extra year of experience. To me that is a huge advantage. Is it enough for me to slot him above Russell? Not just yet.

Well I can understand the Ohio State guy not running since they have the fastest track. I dont think they ever run unless they need some name recognition.

I think the only reason is that guys are not yet prepared. It comes up pretty quickly after the last few bowl games. The studs like to work with sprinting coaches and they may just need more time to be prepared yet. So they wait until their pro days which mostlly come in mid-March. But, I do not get why they do not run and take advantage of the surface. Then, run again at your proday and see if all that training pays off, but it will most likely be offset because your local college surface will not be as fast....unless your at OSU of course where the water boy times 4.4.

I didn't know S. Smith USC was only 5'11". Always thought has was about 6'2". anybody know what he might run?

For those without NFL network I heard one of the announcers quote Charlie Wiess as saying something like 'in a few years Brady Quinn will be the third best QB in the NFL'. This was rebutted by another announcer supposing ' What was Wiess suppose to say about his favorite guy' Quinn is a specimen and we will find out how he measures up to others in this class soon enough. What I do like about him over Russell is that he has that extra year of experience. To me that is a huge advantage. Is it enough for me to slot him above Russell? Not just yet.

His strength isn't his strength. He is very sound technically very fit not big seems very lean. has a very high motor and never quits on a play. Blocks his man then looks for someone else to block downfield.so i think 28 reps is pretty impressive for what you are getting. 25 is usually the standard you'd like to see these guys hit.
