NFL Combine Thread

Just saw that Justin Senior ran a 5.64 forty. Not gonna cut it. I'll update what he runs in his second time.

Really eager to see what LF7 and Dalvin run.

Also, Samaje Perine benched 225 thirty (!) times. Unreal.

On the NFL network app on Apple TV guess who is the first listed Combine to Reality showcase? You guessed it. The famer Dak Prescott.

I was looking for Chris Jones 40 because that was such an iconic moment for the Combine but it wasn't there.

Justin Senior ran a 5.56 on the second run. Which is almost a full tenth better. Hopefully he gets drafted.

But if his junk didn't fall out, we can call that a success (right CJones???).

In an interview, he said something about "I looked down and the Hulk was out." May not have properly quoted it, but he did give a nickname.

There we go. Now I remember. Still funny as hell when I read that.

Seriously, why would a 40 yard dash time mean much for an OL? I would want to know more about his 10 yard time or how quick his feet are. Don't see how straight line speed in the 40 would be much of a factor.

For MSU it's good to see if our OL guys are fast enough to race back to catch the DL they just allowed to run past them.*

Senior has looked good on the on-field blocking drills.

TFL allowed -- 3rd in sec
Sacks allowed -- 2nd in sec

Apparently they have decent speed

Fournette had only a 28" vertical. Cook had a 30"

White boy hero McCaffrey had a 37.5" vert

Alvin Kamara has been killing the combine.

A lot of that has to do with Shumpert and Holloway taking Aeris carries. It would be interesting to see how we progressed over the season. Rankin seemed to improve greatly as the season went on and Aeris took over.
