NFL Combine: Josh Jones impresses with 4.41 40-yard dash
And yes, they’re fielding offers for No. 1, but it might take even more to get it now.
Did he win a spot in the first round of the NFL Draft? The question is whether those physical skills will translate into a better draft position, as Jones managed to do, getting selected in the first round by Dallas.
The former Texas A&M star ran a blazing 4.52 40 yard ash.
Speedy Noil is now the only athlete with a higher vertical jump than Myles Garrett so far, and that might be a footnote when summarizing the past couple days of the former Texas A&M defensive end. Some analysts now think he’s a first-round pick.
He clocked a 4.54 40 time, and he was second among corners with 21 reps on the bench press.
“I’m sorry”, Garrett said before insisting the video had nothing to do with the Browns and their struggles. A lot of people have different stories.
But you generally don’t want to hear a player, particularly somebody that you might be taking with the top pick in the draft, essentially talking about taking plays off, although that was already a narrative that has followed him into the draft process, so it’s not exactly new territory.
Ross’s eye-popping time in Indianapolis puts him in an even different class than Cooks, who ran a 4.33, Hilton (4.34) or Jackson (4.35).
The former Washington Huskies wide receiver, Ross scorched the track at Lucas Oil Stadium on his way to setting the record for the fastest recorded time by anyone at the combine. But Ross delayed the surgery so he could work out in Indy. Weighing in at a shade under 6-foot-4 and 273 pounds, he ran a scalding 4.64 40-yard dash, good for fifth-best among the DL/LB group. Unfortunately for the Patriots, Belichick will likely have to trade up from No. 32 to get him because he’s a first-round lock. That is great speed, period, but especially so for a kid who checks in at 6’1, 220. The Panthers’ all-time leading wide receiver ran the 40 in 4.44. Consider the questions answered. On the field it always seemed to feel like nobody could outrun the powerful defensive end. In testing, the edge rusher showed a remarkable blend of speed (4.64-second 40-yard dash), power (33 bench press reps) and explosiveness (41-inch vertical leap, tied for fourth-best at the combine).
I love lamp and so do National Football League scouts these days. It is worth noting however that he measured in at 6’1, 237 pounds.
Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster was supposed to meet the media and go through interviews with teams on Saturday.
Foster, the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and Butkus Award victor as the nation’s top linebacker, was the first true linebacker selected in each of CBSSports.com’s mock drafts and the No. 7 overall prospect on NFLDraftScout.com’s board.
