4.52 may keep him in the top 20.

Drive to Lufkin about 4 days a week.
I completely agree with this. On the field he looks like a burner.Arch Stanton;3325477 said:Bryant has so-so workout

Maybe you can scratch Dez Bryant off the Raiders' wish list after all.
Bryant ran the forty in 4.52, 4.68, and 4.52, according to NFL.com. Bryant was asked to run a third time because of the discrepancy in the times. He jumped 38 inches on his vertical leap and jumped over eleven feet on his broad jump, which is a huge number.
He wasn't able to finish the three-cone drill and short shuttle, which perhaps indicates a lack of work preparing for the pro day. His hands reportedly looked good.
Mike Mayock said he was surprised by the slow forty times. He appears to play faster on tape.
The problem for Bryant is that Adam Schefter tweeted that Bryant ran a 4.32 last week, creating high expectations. Larry Fitzgerald ran a similar time a few years ago, but didn't have the same off-field concerns.
Mayock said "more questions than answers" came out of the workout.

If you listen to Babe Laufenberg last year Roy had a tough time holding off Ogletree last year and believes he will easily pass him this year.
Hurd is a great coverage guy on special teams and Dez can do everything Crayton does.
So clearly Crayton is the odd man out.
CIWhitefish;3325596 said:Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant reportedly forgot his cleats for Tuesday's workout, causing his numbers to drop while wearing shoes that hadn't been broken in.
NFL Network's Mike Mayock pointed out during the workout that Bryant was slipping during his forty-yard dash. If the reports of a 4.32 forty during training last week are to be believed, Bryant would have run faster Tuesday if not for the slipping. Bryant posted highly impressive numbers in the vertical (38 inches) and broad jump (11'1"), but he didn't finish the short shuttle or the three-cone drill.

Maybe an explanation for the higher times. However, I'm not a fan of a guy who forgets his cleats on one of the biggest days of his life. From the outside looking in he seems to be one of those guys who has a reason for everything.

Chocolate Lab;3325089 said:This is worrying me a little. I hope Jerry isn't back in Pacman/Tank mode where he thinks he can singlehandedly turn these guys around.
He wouldn't forget the lesson of last year's offseason so quickly, would he?
I wonder what the "official" number is. Eleven feet is crazy. Over eleven feet could be a record.Arch Stanton;3325477 said:Bryant has so-so workout

There's no way he's falling to 27.
