Although still not 100 percent, he had a personal workout at Clemson on April 3, running outdoors on FieldTurf. Twenty NFL teams were represented. Waters (238 pounds) ran the 40-yard dash in 4.69. He also had a 34½-inch vertical jump. He didn't so the long jump or any other sprints but did well in position drills.
pretty good #s considering how much time hes missed
4.6-4.7/40 is good, his weight is too light for my profile, I wish we had a current height to get a better feel for his potential to carry additional weight. Too bad the knee isn't ready for change of direction testing, I find those better than the 40 when assessing a candidate.Solo show. In his first and only timed test for NFL scouts, former linebacker Anthony Waters ran a 4.62-second 40-yard-dash time during his individual workout Tuesday morning, about a tenth of a second higher than his pre-injury best.
Waters (6-foot-3, 240 pounds), one of the few linebackers in this year's crop who can play inside for teams that have either 3-4 or 4-3 schemes, is six months removed from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
He skipped the NFL Combine in February and Clemson’s March 13 pro-day workout while rehabilitating.
Representatives from 18 teams were on hand for the workout, including Carolina defensive coordinator Mike Trgovac.
"If he were a mid-rounder, there wouldn't have been as many people show up," said Michael Brown, one of Waters' agents.
Waters did eight position drills and the vertical jump (34½ inches) but skipped other routine running drills. He has interviews scheduled with San Diego, Dallas, Saint Louis and the New York Jets before the April 28-29 draft.

Waters is 6'2 5/8" tall. If he weighed in at 239, then he's lost 6 lbs since the combine.
Waters did attend the combine and was measured and weighed, though he did not partake in any drills other than the bench press.
how did he lsoe weight? He weighted in 239 at combine. Weighted in 238 at pro day.
he lost a pound..
I can carry additional weight, just not all of it is muscle. That said, 6'2 1/2" is likely a better frame to pack the muscle on, particularly for a guy who is coming off a rehab regimen where extra weight would be a negative.He's 6'2.5" He can carry additional weight, he was 245lbs at the combine.

If his knee checks out, I think this makes him one of six ILB candidates for the Patriots.
They have to get a young ILB - someone who can contribute this year and can start in a year or two.
Bruschi could well be in his final season. The odds of Bruschi and Vrabel both starting 16+ games are tiny. The Patriots need a young ILB. And they have to draft one this year.
The guys I see fitting the Patriots ILB system:
Patrick Willis
David Harris
Jon Beason
Paul Posluszny
Brandon Siler
Anthony Waters
Let's hope one of those is drafted in three weeks.
I'd add Desmond Bishop to the list.
Zak DeOssie is on my list.
I'd add Desmond Bishop to the list.
And Stewart Bradley, and a few others.
Cousins,Zak DeOssie is on my list.
I also view him as an OLB but I don't know tons about him so maybe I'm wrong.
