Ginn runs in the 4.4s --Updated

[Doomsday101]

I would think 1 concern would be that is has been over 2 months since he injured the ankle and he is still having problems. As for speed running the 40 or not I don't think effects him when anyone who has scouted Ginn know that speed is not an issue with him

Why would he fall? It's not like this injury is serious or permanent. He'll be at full speed by late spring, early summer. All he needs is time.

Shhhhhhhh!

Let him fall!

Heck all the way to our pick in the second round for that matter.


Honestly, if he were to be there at 22 and we didn't trade back a few spots and then get him, I would be shocked.

I would be more concerned over the fact that it's been a couple of months now, and he is still having problems with it...hmmmm. If...we were to take Ginn, I just hope that he wouldn't turn into another WR that we took back in '86 named Mike Sherrard out of USC with our first pick, who certainly had speed to burn, but was perceived by many as being injury prone/brittle.

We all know that high ankle sprains involve long recovery times.


Where have you guys been?

He ran a 4.38 after just coming off a high ankle sprain that has not allowed him to work out very hard. This is just silliness!

i'm not a huge ginn fan but he's not falling behind rice for sure, and i think not behind jarrett either. he may still be there at 22 but it's not gonna hurt him that much.he fell down is the reciever drills because of the rain so i don't think thats gonna hurt him either. if you liked him at the end of the season, you still like him today. no team is gonna drop him that much because he had a ankle spring which can take quite a while to get fully healed. te knock on him is he is not a guy to go over the middle and not real polished as a wr. but that has'nt changed. the teams that where high on him should still be

I didn't mean the injury, I meant the celebration. It wasn't really excessive as much as it was unfortunate.

Thank God its not Norval

You think Parchy's trying to tell us something?

Thank God it's not Norval

T Ginn?

[InmanRoshi]

If he's still "having problems" and running a 4.38, I'd hate to see what he can do healthy.

Still hurting, Ginn goes around 4.4 in 40s

COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Even less than 100 percent healthy, Ted Ginn Jr. proved pretty fast today in a private workout for NFL coaches and scouts.

The former Ohio State receiver ran three 40-yard dashes at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, and the consensus was he averaged around 4.4 seconds.

His father, Ted Ginn Sr., reported times of 4.38, 4.40 and 4.41. He said his son was 75 percent to 80 percent healthy.

Ginn Jr. suffered a sprained foot in the national-title game on Jan. 8 and could not run at the NFL combine in February or at OSU's pro day in March.

At least 15 teams sent representatives to the workout today.

“He's making progress,” St. Louis Rams head coach Scott Linehan said. “It's obvious he's still got a ways to go yet, but even not probably 100 percent, he still ran faster than most guys. So I think he's just fine.”

Ginn almost certainly will be a first-round pick April 28, likely to be selected somewhere between the sixth and 20th pick.

I wonder if we're ever going to get that title changed.

Ginn clocked in the 4.3s


Ted Ginn Jr. still isn't in great shape after rehabbing his injured foot for months, but he ran in the 4.3s for NFL scouts at Ohio State today.
I'm pretty sure that's a record for a dude not fast enough to play receiver in the NFL.

For those that say he doesn't go across the middle...

For those who say he has no agility......

For those who say he has no escapability....

For those who say he can't shake a tackle....

I'm an Ohio State fan...and I would love to have this guy! I doubt he will be there when the Boyz pick, and also, I think the team has other needs...

But, I can wish, right?
