Did Lamar Miller not participate in anything other than the 40 yd dash? I didn't see his name listed on any of the other events.

I am surprised David Wilson didn't post a better time. He seems faster than that.

I love this:
ESPN’s Adam Schefter: “Virginia Tech RB David Wilson impressed teams by becoming first player in years to show up to combine interviews in a suit, not sweats.”

I've said it before and I'll say it again .... the 40 isn't that good of a representative of true speed. David Wilson is faster than Lamar Miller on the football field.... but not by much though.

I think with a good proday Wilson is staring early 2nd round and 2nd RB off the board square in the face. I think he is in a similar standing as Ryan Williams last year at this point.

Good write up on Coale!

Yep, he wears suits a lot. Did he catch a rabbit or do multiple backflips as well?

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to sound bitter. I thought this was one of those media things where they just repeat the same facts about a player over and over.

Hey, did you guys know Boykin's hands are so huge he has special gloves?

Great to see DW and Coale doing well at the combine. Wilson is cementing his spot as the 2a/2b RB overall and Coale is climbing up the boards. He will be a solid WR in the NFL. A little bit disappointed with Boykin however. 40 time was mehhh and he hasn't been as consistent as he is usually is. I agree with 46..he will get a chance to make a roster and still may be drafted (in the late rounds). I am curious to see how Hosley performs in the next couple days. He has been sliding down boards from what I have seen and is now considered a 3rd-4th round prospect. Hopefully he can improve that stock..

EDIT: Just read the link by 46. Didnt realize Coale is maybe climbing as high as the 3rd or even 2nd round. Kick ass!!!

I happened to flip through to NFL network when Wilson ran his second time. 4.40, 4.44 were his unofficial times. I have no clue what would push that almost a tenth higher. Heck, Danny Coale ran a 4.50.

Also, LMAO at Stephen Hill. The kid is the fastest guy at the combine so far and spent his career blocking for the triple option. Less than 50 receptions in his entire career.

Over/under on bench press reps for Hosley today?

Set the number at.....7??

It's the same with Danny, his unofficial time was 4.40, but his official was a full tenth slower. And Lamar Miller had the third fastest unofficial time for a RB, but fastest official.

I'll take the over.

 

[Sleepy T]

I'll take the over.

I will take the over and say he will get 12. If Danny Coale gets 11 then he better be able to do that at least.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Danny Coale has 30+ pounds on him IF we believe he is 170.

I want him to get 13, one more than Sean Spence.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

This isn't a knock on Hosley either, BTW. He is just tiny. Hell, Fred Smoot only did one, ha ha.

the top gear he showed in the route running drills was pretty freaking amazing. He would have been a household name had he played anywhere else.

FACT: Fred Smoot banged more hookers on lake Minnetonka than he did reps on bench at the combine.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Jayron did 11.

The lowest CB did 7......Chase Minnifield

 

[hokiecheme11]

Jayron ran a 4.44 on his first forty and a 4.38 on the second FYI

Wow! Didn't expect these times....honestly thought he'd be over 4.50. Certainly helps his draft stock.
