Today's combine - DBs

[Bizwah]

Here is the link for the DBs combine 40 times. LaRon Landry ran a 4.34? Smoking!!! Now that's hot. Leon Hall (Michigan) ran a 4.39 and everybody's favorite guy Reggie Nelson ran a 4.56. I know these forty times are overrated but I they are important. What did Roy Williams run at the combine? Six point what?

I don't care what his stats in college were, when you're talking secondary and cover guys, that speed is freakin' important.

If we want Nelson to be a sideline to sideline FS, that 4.53 better not be his best because that won't cut it sideline to sideline.

We're trading way way down in round 1 unless a top WR or CB or DE shockingly is there. I think we trade way way down and get 4 very good picks on day 1.

4.51 for Eric Weddle. That is better then I thought he would run. I really like this player. I'm telling you guys, this is a football player. Somebody is going to be happy with this guy.

Boooo....

Weddle also had one of the top 20-yard shuttle times out of anybody, 4.12

Yeah, I know everybody likes Wendling and I'm not surprised. His is gifted athletically but I tell ya, Weddle is the better football player. He's just one of those guys who understands things and sees them before they happen. I really like him a lot. I think he will be a real good player for somebody.

 

[silverbear]

yep, he's a freakin' athlete for sure, props to silverbear for pimping him

I gotta tell ya, pimpin' ain't easy...

You aint kidding Silver. I'm getting trampled over here.

NFL Countdown has Nelson running a 4.48, anyone know the correct time?

Do you have reason to believe that is incorrect?

Here's a few notable times for some of the bigger names in the DB class...

Chris Houston - 4.32, 27 reps...Fastest 40 time so far. Highest amount of bench reps for the position.
LaRon Landry - 4.35
Reggie Nelson - 4.53
Aaron Ross - 4.47
Leon Hall - 4.39
Marcus McCauley - 4.38, 4.33...If he would've just played hard his Senior year.
Brandon Meriweather - 4.5

Yeah, this thread indicates he ran a 4.53...would that have been the first run??? If so, that is quite the discrepancy, though I never believed Nelson is a 4.53 anyhow.

Josh Wilson running a 4.39 is impressive. I think he is going to be a steal for anyone taking him after the second round.

If we don't go corner in round 1, I'd love to see Wilson or Hughes at our second round pick. More Wilson, but I'm a Murland homer.

I said when I posted the numbers that they are the NFLN's "unofficial" times.

I haven't checked out the "official" times because they usually don't vary that greatly. Even if Nelson's time was officially a 4.48, the difference between that and a 4.53 can be measured in inches over forty yards, so calling it "quite a discrepancy" is really stretching it.

Does a 4.48 get to the finish line 16 inches before a 4.53?

You know what you're right....I was reading it wrong...maybe it was the Canadian conversion....my apologies.

David Irons
Kenny Wright
Jonathan Wade

How come no one is talking a/b Michael Griffin? He had one hell of a combine. Look at his rankings in the speed & quickness drills. He's in the top 5 in many of the categories. Add the fact that he's gained 20 pounds of muscle since the Senior Bowl, and he's really increased his stock. I think he's now the #2 Safety in the draft behind Landry (who is ridiculous).
