Jerry Rice wasn't a burner either. He just ran excellent routes and had fantastic hands and a great QB to get him the ball.
The Pats could use their 3rd on him or their 4th. I don't think he'll last much beyond that.
I'm expecting him to run in the 4.5's. Reportedly, he ran a 4.6 as a soph, and since he's now training for the Combine, it would seem like he'll increase his 40 time a bit.
His timed speed isn't the main concern for scouts. It's his ability to gain separation on his breaks at the pro level. No one can answer this now however. He'll be a wait-and-see after he's drafted.
With his height and leaping ability (former high jumper), his excellent hands and solid route running, I think he'll succeed with the right offense. He also has a GREAT work ethic -- which is a huge plus.
have you seen him play in person. I have and he looks slow. great skills, just seems slow. we will see at the combine.
Don't give up yet.I thought Mike Hass was going to be the next Steve Largent.
I had him at 4.65 http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/wr/davidball.html
4.59 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6422014

not sure where you get 4.52 from. have you seen him play in person. I have and he looks slow. great skills, just seems slow. 4.65 (the worst) is slow for a WR. we will see at the combine. I would like to see him get a shot with the Pats.
Yeh, if we can only pry him away from the Bears, what a waste of a possession WR in a downfield offense.Don't give up yet.
NFLDraftscout.com has his at 4.52 I rely on them over any other site when it comes to the measurables prior to the combine.
Also, even at 4.59 that is the same as Jerry Rice.
Do you honestly think that Ball is Rice's second coming?
I'm sorry. I guess I must have missed where I said ANYTHING of the sort. Guess you just wanted to make something up right?
I would be happy if Ball was a taller version of Troy Brown. Period. I think that he would be a tremendous possession receiver.
Do you still beat your wife?DaB you need to chill out. Where did I say that you thought that whatsoever? Take your freaking attitude and dump it because all I did was ask a freaking question. I didn't accuse you of anything or make up any freaking garbage. I asked a question. You posted "Also, even at 4.59 that is the same as Jerry Rice." So I just asked a question. Please take your PMS elsewhere.
