Bill Johnson running the position drills?!? Why does this not instill confidence? Maybe he was auditioning?

WTF!

mine was more on the lines holy ****. At 5'6" 180 his weight to height ratio probably means the kid is a fire plug. actually need to do some more research on this kid. I knew he was fast, in that 4.30 range. But that is holy **** kind of speed. but he is on my priority UDFA list.

then you have his twin also
Deandre Washington 5082 204 4.45 RB/WR/KR on the same club.
Both need to prove they can handle duties at the NFL level to stick IMO. But they both have what Murphy lacks. break away speed. BUT do they have Murphy vision?

round 7 flier to challenge Murphy?

Roto has an interesting statement that makes me wonder how SP would use this kid.

These type of manufactured touch players are very situation dependent, and hopefully Grant lands in the correct one.

You always look for that final gear for a KR/PR/WR but this is insane. this kid has two final gears.

unofficial hand clock speed range was 4.1 to 4.34.

But the area the saints need to improve on special team is coverage. The poor coverage unit is a reflection of the poor depth the saints have at LB. More importantly our gunners. Our gunners are a refection of the saints not putting enough emphases on tackling skills for CB and safeties. You can always bet on the first 4 players down field not making the tackle. By the end of the game you will have extra money in your pocket to burn. That IMO is a main factor in drafting secondary. If they can not tackle I say pass. I hate Ball tacklers. My sister can tackle a ball.

Jakeem Grant would be a beast on screens, Get Armstead out front for the initial block and see-ya later

Clemson
Players, scouts and coaches are leaving Clemson, and here is the latest word.

Kevin Dodd looked terrific in both defensive line and linebacker drills, displaying a lot of athleticism and ease moving around the field. His testing numbers included a 30.5-inch vertical jump, 9-2 broad jump, 4.44 in the short shuttle and 7.31 in the 3-cone. He also completed 22 reps on the bench press. The question now is how early in Round 1 will Dodd be selected?

I'm told Shaq Lawson also looked good in defensive line drills, but struggled when put through the battery of linebacker drills.

People are gushing over the position workout of Mackensie Alexander. He was very fluid and natural in all his movements. Teams love the versatility he offers and the ability to line up in multiple coverages; man coverage, backed off the line, and zone. Many are critical of Alexander's stats last season: 5 PBUs and no interceptions, but as one scout rightfully said to me, "He can't intercept the ball if no one is throwing it his way!"

T.J. Green looked much better in his positional workout at pro day compared to the Combine. He was smooth, and his footwork was much better. Green ran the short shuttle (4.4) and 3-cone (7.12) today.

Conversely, scouts were not impressed by the positional work of Jayron Kearse. He was not as nearly as quick or smooth when taking reps with Green or Alexander. As one source said, Kearse may be best off adding 20 pounds and moving to linebacker.

Finally, B.J. Goodson had a very good day in position drills and helped his stock.

Mississippi State
About 20 teams were on hand for the Bulldogs' workout, including Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther.

Receiver Da'Runnya Wilson improved his 40 time from the Combine, timing between 4.71 and 4.78. He caught the ball well in drills and completed 13 reps on the bench. Wilson met with the San Francisco 49ers today.

Linebacker Beniquez Brown, who met with the 49ers yesterday, had a very good pro-day workout. Brown ran one 40, timing between 4.62 to 4.67 after weighing in at 236 pounds, seven more than his Combine weight. I'm told he looked outstanding in position drills and moved better than some of the defensive backs on hand. Take note - Brown met with the Dolphins during the day.

I'm told defensive tackle Chris Jones had an outstanding positional workout and was described as "looking like a first-rounder."

Underrated corner Taveze Calhoun also stood out in position work. Teammate Will Redmond, who is still recovering from the ACL injury which sidelined him the second half of the season, was on the sidelines.

Quarterback Dak Prescott had an up-and-down day, making some nice passes but also throwing high of the mark on a number of occasions.

Tulsa
The New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals (who sent their receivers coach) were just a few of the teams on hand to watch receiver Keyarris Garrett work out. Garrett measured slightly under 6-3 1/2 and 221 pounds, then tested in the vertical jump, where he improved to 38 inches (36.5 inches at combine).

Position work is still going on, but there's a definite buzz building around Garrett, who entered the season graded as a street free agent. Consider this: After a record-breaking senior season (96 recptions, 1,588 yards, 8 TDs) Garrett ran 4.53s in the 40 at the combine, quelling concerns about his speed. He then had a terrific positional workout. Scouts also love the fact the big-bodied receiver comes with 34 inch arms.

Garrett already has visits set up with the Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers.
