NFL | Penn St WR Derrick Williams had meeting with Cowboys

that's called agent spin control. i've watched the guy from high school. he is an underachiever, and wasn't the best wr on his own PSU team. his explosiveness is overrated IMO.

I thought he looked great at the Senior Bowl practices. He looked fast and had great cuts. A corner could be running stride for stride with him into his cuts, and he would have 2-3 yards separation coming out of the cuts.

I was absolutely shocked at how slow he was running his 40s at the combine. And he looked bad running the gauntlet.

The question is: What is his real speed? Is there anything to the flu story?

If he's a 4.4 - 4.45 guy, then he's a first/second round talent. He would be reminiscent of a Marvin Harrison/Terry Glenn type: someone who can stretch the field and create separation with sharp cuts.

If he's a 4.6-4.7 guy, then he's a fourth/fifth round talent. More of an OJ McDuffie/Wes Welker type; a possession receiver that may be able to returns punts/kickoffs (and that's being questioned by some people). He could still be useful, and a good player, but there's no way he'll go in the second round.
