They weren’t even on the same surfaces.

Gotchya. So cherry picking some meaningless bullshit nobody cares about?

Potentially, yeah. 4.61 and never cracked 800 yards in a college season is going to hurt him some I think. He might not fall beyond 9th but it's going to be an uphill climb now in a really stacked class.

Nice routes, timed well enough. Rough impact comp is Marvin Jones. Not wow but always produces more than you expect.

Late round pick? He's a day 2 lock.

Troy Franklin’s 40 (4.41) and 3 cone (6.90) were fine. His 10 yard a
Split (1.61) and 20 Juarez shuttle (4.31) were terrible for what you see from him.

Today proved he’s a build up speed kinda player

Yeah. Rough day for him. Making those Denzel Mims comparisons hold water.

Ricky Pearsall, though… 4.41… great shuttle and 3-cone.

Not really

White boy Rick is a bad bad man

No idea if we have a realistic shot, but I'm liking Brenden Rice more today. Based more on some of the Senior Bowl highlights I watched a few days ago, but he looked good at the combine as well today. Nice release package from what he showed at the SB, and can be very physical with DBs when necessary. Runs pretty nice routes, very smooth for a bigger WR.

[kccrow]

Uhh... 6.9 is a great 3-cone for 6'2" player. It's actually really good for any WR at any height.

What do you mean "not really?"

It shot John Ross up form a 2nd round prospect to the 9th overall
It shot Henry Ruggs up from fringe 1st rounder to 12th overall.
Tyquan Thornton went from a 5th-round prospect to the 50th overall.
Marquise Goodwin went from borderline draftable to a 3rd rounder.
It made some others 1st rounders that shouldn't have been, like Will Fuller, Darrius Heyward-Bey, and Phillip Dorsett.
It got alot of kids drafted at all.

Speed matters to the NFL execs.

Don't forget Tavon Austin lol. That dude got drafted 8th overall and was only 5'8" 174 lb. He was a fringe 1st round guy, but his 40 time got the Rams to trade picks to move up for him.

[Urc Burry]

Still haven’t done a deep dive, but prior to today Mitchell was a better prospect than Worthy right?

If so, it might be a blessing in disguise. Outside of Tyreek .. who is a unicorn. There really isn’t that much of a difference between a 4.22 and 4.35

I think we are talking 2 different things im saying performance in underwear doesn't mean shit in terms of a player. If it changes an execs mind well they probably aren't that good to begin with. Tape doesn't lie

And Worthy's tape doesn't lie either. He's one of the top 6-7 WRs in this class regardless of how fast he ran. The fact he just broke the combine record just means he's guaranteed to go high.
