NFL coaches and personnel executives will have plenty to ask Braxton Miller about at the NFLScouting Combine in February, from his one-year adjustment to the H-back position, to the shoulder injury that compelled that position switch.
But if Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is right, one thing they won't question is his speed.
Meyer told College Football 24/7 on Monday that he expects Miller to turn in a 40-yard dash time of less than 4.4 seconds in the test that is as important as any at the annual event for pass-catchers.
"He will run a sub-4.4 at the combine, and show he's a really competitive guy. He'll knock it out," said Meyer, whose new book, "Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life from a Championship Season" will be released this week.
What would a sub-4.4 40 time do for Miller's draft stock? Consider that at the 2015 combine, just seven of 323 combine participants recorded a time better than 4.4. Three of those players were picked in the first round: cornerback Trae Waynes, wide receiver Kevin White, and wide receiver Phillip Dorsett. Another, cornerback Ronald Darby, went in the second round. And it's not just talk from Meyer, because Miller's already delivered a sub-4.4 time that's been posted in the Buckeyes' football facility.
