Yep. Johnny can run and AJ had a solid day. I agree Exile, not throwing at the combine was a missed opportunity for Carr to showcase his talent.

Am I the only one that expected a better 40 yard dash time from Johnny Manziel?

For a short quarterback, I expected a 4.4 or better...

papz · 02-23-2014, 08:17 PM

A 4.4 for a quarterback is extremely rare.

ChrisXVI · 02-23-2014, 08:23 PM

Kind of disappointed by D'Anthony Thomas in the 40... Dri Archer definitely stole the show. Of course speed isn't everything but Archer and Jeff Janis made themselves a little extra money this weekend.

I'd love to have Archer return kicks for us. He'd make one hell of a weapon for Payton.

He'd be our own Trindon Holliday. Cut Cadet and let Archer learn for a season under Sproles... Then let Sproles go after the season for cap space.

In the 4/5 or 5/6 range i am looking at

Jerick McKinnon Georgia Southern 5090 209

32 reps of 225???? then puts up a 4.41 and a ten split 1.46 same as Archer DAMMMMMMMMMMM.

RB/WR/KR/DB/QB - TO NAME JUST A FEW lets me spell that out
starring at quarterback, slotback, fullback, defensive back and kick returner

he is a player if you draft him you find a away to get him on the field. special teams gunning demon i bet right out the gate in year one. he is the type of player that gets that last spot on the roster

LMAO COMPARES TO: Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints
Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia Southern, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

the other small school mighty mouse that looked really good was

John Brown, Pittsburg State WR/KR 5-10, 179, 4.34
This kid has great hands

They did much better than i thought they would
Tyler Gaffney Stanford
George Atkinson ND

with this draft i would take a handful of beans and the cap space and trade Ingram. ok maybe not beans

Wilson ran a 4.55 and is shorter than Manziell. These are QBs brother.

40 yard times for QBs are moot, quickness is more relevant than speed.

I have to disagree with you a bit here Oak. QBs times used to be moot but with today's hybrid QBs. It's a big deal.
