OT: Combine stories

[Bill Lee]

And now, BB shows some love to Richie Eisen, Mike Mayock and Dion Sanders:

I like him too. I think he definitely has the ability to cover outside plus added benefit of returning kicks.

4.53 for Hughes. About what I expected. Then Donte Jackson ran a 4.32 in spite of stumbling at the start and then cramping up in his calf. Jeez.

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Did you see him in the bench press?

Well the guy only has one hand. Maybe he'll make it work, I hope so, but I wouldn't be spending a #1 or #2 pick on that experiment.

I've seen a player assault then get beaten up by a kicking net on the sideline but I have yet to see anyone tackle a bench press

Me either. But I might try him with 4th round. 4.38 is fast, and 20 reps at 225 is damn respectable too. I'd like to find out how he is in pass coverage, but with a 4.38, he can make up ground in a hurry.

Yeah, I’ve seen some projections with us taking Jackson in the first round, but it’s not going to happen. He’ll never be there.

Sure, we’ve taken fliers on less. He’s obviously a hard working football player who is used to overcoming adversity. I think that consideration is often given to those kinds of players, obviously depending on evaluations of overall talent.

Texas Tech WR Dylan Cantrell ran a 6.56 3-Cone Drill!!! He’s 6’3 & an excellent blocker??!? What’s the catch??? Pun intended

6 offensive prospects that should be on the Patriots' radar after the combine

 

[PWRxWLF]

Why are people talking about Griffin’s hand like he just lost it yesterday? The guy has years, YEARS of tape to study. Guess what, he is missing a hand in all of them! What is going to change at the NFL level from the collegiate level? Competition gets better? Guys run harder and faster? Whelp, most of ‘em don’t tackle with their hands anyways, and I’ve seen this dude actually pick of passes. He’s the real deal, and whatever team gets ‘em, is going to love the results they get.
