Combine Chatter Thread

[Gaede]

The workouts start today. You guys ready to learn who can play football?

All jokes aside, I much prefer the workouts to the weigh ins.

All this bickering over hand size is just too much

Tyler Higbee: bit of Gronk in his game

If Higbee were to fall to our 4th rounder I wouldn't mind the pick 1 bit. Not sure our coaching staff would actually use him, but he could be a serious weapon used as a slot WR to create mismatches. Haven't watched enough to get a fell for his blocking though...

Is Derek Henry actually running the 40 today? He should have opted out like Treadwell, I think he will run a 4.7.

I think he'll post in the 4.5 range. 4.7 would be extremely damaging to him.

I'm more interested in how the place kickers perform in the 40 here.

Kicker 40's.

Good stuff.

We got kickers here running 4.60 40's. What's the world coming to?

Man, some of these guys actually have some wheels.

Love the combine coverage this year - good job NFLN.

Seems like the 10 yard splits are more important for OL vs. the 40.

NFL kickers are generally all around athletes that played all sports in HS. They're just not good enough to play college or pro so they kick.

I remember that one Bills kicker, or maybe he was a punter.. but he could run a sub 4.3 40 I think I saw him at a pro-bowl competition race and he and Deangelo Hall were neck and neck.

Is Ezekiel Elliott at the combine?

Is Ezekiel Elliott at the combine?

He didn't lift.

I thought I heard them say this morning that he was weighed in.

Mayock speaking the truth about what the Cowboys need to do in this draft. All other positions be damned. It's the QB.

 

[tyke1doe]

What about this Keith Marshall guy?

Lead all RBs in the bench press and he is fast on the field. Bit of a sleeper.






This is all I could find but my gosh he really shows off some ability in this vid.

Vision, hands, feet, speed.

He doesn't look like he has that many moves, IMO. Yes, he juked a defender in the open field, but who can't do that?
He does have speed, though. And he hits the hole nicely. I went two minutes into the highlight film and mostly what I saw were bursting-through-the-hole runs.
I didn't see any hole-closed-find-another-hole runs.

Nevertheless, with our offensive line, all he has to do is find the hole and exploit it with his 10.2 speed.
