NFL Draft Preview: Reuben Foster Highlights
Lawson ran a 4.67 40-yard dash in front of National Football League talent evaluators at Lucas Oil Stadium, which was tied for eighth best at his position. He breezed through most of the on-the-field drills and took part in linebacker drills.
Already considered a top-10 pick, Lattimore went out and ran a 4.36 40 at a solid 193 pounds, the third-best time overall by a defensive back. Allen is going to go in the first round at some point, and he showed his skills in measurables and on-the-field drills.
The most notable of those, of course, was his 4.41 in the 40, which was second among safeties. This absolutely rings true for the consensus No. 1 player, Myles Garrett, who put on an awe inspiring performance on Sunday. He posted times of 5.32 in the 40, 7.94 in the three cone and 4.71 in the 20 yard shuttle. Howard. Plenty of people were expecting Howard to run a special time, but a 4.5 is downright exceptional. The former Rebel helped himself at the Combine.
– Another Michigan product who has been mocked to the Ravens is pass rusher Taco Charlton. Golladay spent two years at University of North Dakota before transferring to the FBS level.
Johnson, who ran the 40 in 4.24 and was then picked by the Titans in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft, sent a message via Twitter not long after the result became official. It was unlikely Adidas would end up giving away an island, anyway. Some analysts now think he’s a first-round pick.
Foster was sent home from the combine on Friday prior to team interviews and testing after what was described as a “heated argument” with a hospital worker.
– UCLA pass rusher Takk McKinley told reporters he’s going to have surgery Monday to fix a torn shoulder labrum, which has a four-to-six month recovery time. At 220 lbs, Obi ran a 4.4 second 40 yard dash, jumped 44 inches in the vertical jump (tied for fifth highest in combine history), and flew 11 feet and 9 inches in the broad jump (second farthest at the combine since 2003).
“We want to evaluate a player like him (Peppers) because we did the same thing with Shaq Thompson”, head coach Ron Rivera said. The receiver opted to push his shoulder surgery back to March 14 in order to participate in the combine. If the victor fails to live up to the terms of that agreement, Adidas has the option to take the island back.
