Laquon Treadwell pro day... 4.63 40? Ugh!

Danno · 03-28-2016, 01:20 PM

Laquon Treadwell clocks unofficial 4.63 40-yard dash at pro day.

Laquon Treadwell was clocked unofficially in the mid-4.6s on Monday when he ran the 40-yard dash at Ole Miss' pro day. The times legitimize scouting concerns that Treadwell, arguably the top wide receiver in the 2016 NFL Draft, doesn't have the vertical speed NFL clubs typically look for when investing a first-round pick in a wide receiver.

His 3-cone and short-shuttle were pretty bad as well.

Just for comparison, Roman Harper and Kenny Vaccaro ran 4.55.

Terron Armstead 4,71 lol

Should we kick the tires on Anquan Boldin? Insurance. He is still rock solid.

I say we move Armstead to wide receiver, let Peet takeover and draft another LT, LG and RG

He's not fast, that's for sure. Attacks that ball though.

Still hoping he falls to us...I'm all in...

"He's a big, physical receiver and does an excellent job in the run game, blocking and securing the perimeter ... then, he catches the football. He's strong with the ball in his hands and he's a really dependable target for an offense," Robinson said. "A lot of that has to weigh into your decision as opposed to just, how fast (he ran), or how high (he jumped)."

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze deferred to Treadwell's game film regarding questions about his speed.

"If you put on the tape and you watch how he performs against some of the best players in the nation in this league that we play in, I think that speaks volumes over what the clock says just on a 40 time," Freeze told NFL Network.

WHo was that last big, physical receiver that was slower than hell...? Oh yeah, SJB.... Man, we really need some big boys up front far worse.

SJB? Stanley Jean Baptiste, the cornhusker that tried to pass himself off as a cornerback?

He might be thinking Seantavius Jones.

Hahaha! Yeah! He first tried to pass himself off as a receiver back in his college days. A beautiful "project" we wasted a second round pick on because he was the right size. I can't help but think of him any time someone says a WR or DB is the right size.

Picking Treadwell does not excite me in the least because there are about twelve other bigger guys we need much worse.
