2014 NFL Combine Talk

    Dri Archer went 4.26. Surprising 4.49 out of Tyler Gaffney, would've never expected that.

    A good showing by George Atkinson too. Mayock said he may get himself into the 2nd day as a kick returner/special teams guy who could eventually be an every down back.

    Incredible. I'm surprised the Detroit Tigers haven't picked him up.

    He might bat 8th.


    Regardless, it's gonna be difficult to see Houston NOT strongly considering shopping that pick if they want a QB.

    Anyone watch the QB's this weekend?
    A kid I coached in HS baseball, Keith Wenning, was there and wondering how he did.

    Thanks.
    Hope he gets drafted and at least gets a chance to be on a roster. Great kid

    Is he from CW?

    Yeah.
    He was the starting QB for one season, lost in the Finals to Ursuline.
    He played some WR his Soph and Jr season and threw some passes on trick plays. You could tell he had a great arm. Many thought as a Jr that he should have been the starting QB, but the QB in place was very good and just lead the team to an undefeated perfect season the year before so how do you sit a QB who did that?

    Also a fantastic baseball player. I believe if he had the same drive/motivation in baseball as he did for football that he woulda done well in college baseball.

    LB Ryan Shazier-6’1″, 237 pounds…
    Bench Press: 25 reps
    Vertical Jump: 42.0″ (best performance by a linebacker since 2006, and best performance of all position groups at this year’s Combine through Monday’s drills)
    Broad Jump: 130.0″ (two inches better than any other linebacker this year)
    Three-Cone Drill: 6.91 seconds (5th best of this year’s linebackers)
    20-Yard-Shuttle: 4.21 seconds
    (Note: Shazier told CBS that he decided against running the 40-yard dash because he tweaked his hammy.)

    As an ND fan no way in hell he becomes an everyday back. He's not a good kick returner either. He's a track star trying to play football. IMO he was a huge disappointment at ND with the speed that kid has

    The 130 inch broad jump is hilarious. Measure that out and give it a go. Lol
  • se-alum
    I really wanted to see what kind of 40 time Shazier would put up.
  • Ironman92
    All the other measurements equal stud .....it would've been excellent
  • se-alum
    Pat Kirwan ‏@PatKirwanCBS 15m Take a look @ Combine results for explosion..Bench+Vertical+Broad Jump..needs to combine for a # over 70 if explosive. Ryan Shazier had 77.08

    That's why I posted. I didn't think so...but Mayock said it...

    Bradley Roby was always considered one of the fastest ― if not the fastest — guys on Ohio State's football team. Today, he went out and proved he has some wheels underneath him. The former Ohio State cornerback posted an official time of 4.39 in the 40 yard dash. Oklahoma State's Justin Gilbert posted the fastest cornerback time with a 4.37.
    In the lead-up to the sprint, draft analyst Mike Mayock blamed Roby's poor performance against Wisconsin on "poor eye discipline," while Deion Sanders pinned Roby's struggles on the defensive game plan.
    Many analysts expect Roby to be the first Buckeye taken in the 2014 NFL draft.

    I tend to agree with Deion.
