UNOFFICIAL 40 times: Johnny Manziel: 4.56 Derek Carr: 4.65 Jordan Lynch: 4.72 Tajh Boyd: 4.75 Blake Bortles: 4.81 AJ McCarron: 4.91

 

Carr made some money with that run.  As for Bridgewater, no need to run.  If he's not going to run a faster time than Manziel (which he wouldn't), there is no reason to give Manziel another chip in the race for which of the two is the first QB drafted.

Whether Manziel or Bridgewater run a 4.5 or a 4.8 isn't that big a deal from the QB position. Manziel's elusiveness and playmaking abilities are his greatest assets. His greatest weakness is his size. Whether he translates to the NFL remains to be seen. There is not a QB in this draft though that is a lock (as with most drafts not containing John Elway or Andrew Luck).

I read an intersting tidbit about the combine. Baylor has 6 players at the combine, more than UT or A&M. While all 3 A&M players are projected first rounders, none of the Balor guys are expected to be drafted early. Still a heckuva  change for 6 players from Baylor expected to be drafted into the NFL!

Totally agree. I was just pointing out a discrepancy. (Troy Aikman was a lock)

@SportsCenter: Jadeveon Clowney ran a 4.47 in 40-yard dash in his 1st sprint at NFL Combine today. Clowney measures at 6-5, 266 pounds.


Still unofficial, but that is still flying for a guy that big.

 

Line that guy up on the other side of JJ Watt and I feel sorry for any Qbs out there. Oh wait they will change a rule to where Watt and The Freak cant hit to hard.

That is offset by a poor performance in the bench press (Poor by NFL terms)  of 21 reps at 225 lbs.

 

For his position, which skill set is more important: speed of strength?
