Former Arizona Wildcats defensive end Brooks Reed, coming off impressive workouts at the Senior Bowl in January, earned more positive reviews at the NFL Combine on Monday.

He told me in an interview a couple of weeks ago that his goal was to “show them I can run fast at 260.”

Well, he checked in at 6-2 1/2 and 263 pounds … and he ran fast.

Reed ran a 4.68-second 40-yard dash Monday, which was tied for third among defensive ends. Lacking ideal size for the position, he also is being looked at as a pass-rushing outside linebacker, so that 40 time was critical to how scouts project him.

DD.comment: Talked to our man Matt B. (who played some college football and knows his stuff) after the Senior Bowl and, unlike Todd McShay, he was/has always been impressed with Reed's athletic ability -- which he showed at the Combine with his workout times. What Matt was really surprised by, was Reed's strength. Down in Mobile folks were buzzing about a video of Reed shredding a 1,200 page phone book in just 9 seconds. Reed was a teen when he did that, by the way.
