Combine Saturday open thread

You can watch the combine live on the NFL Network.

Colt had an MRI on his shoulder, and everything is fine.

"Obviously, that was going to be a tough part of the weekend, because people are going to want to know how the shoulder is and how it's healing up," the University of Texas standout said. "The good thing is my shoulder is 100 percent fine. There's nothing wrong with it. We found nothing wrong with it. It's just a nerve injury, and it's just about 100 percent. It's just about ready to go."

Confirmation of what we already knew.

Sergio Kindle checked in this morning at 6'2 7/8" 250. That's lighter than he played (or was at least listed) last season. I'm guessing he's going to test very well.

Gerald McCoy came in at 6'4 1/8" 291. He will also test well.

Terrance Cody weighed 354.

LSU's Trindon Holliday ran an unofficial 4.27 40.

Maryland tackle Bruce Campbell ran a 4.78 at 6'6" 314. He also did 34 reps on the bench.

And if you Google 'NFL combine,' the very first news story that comes up is
Tim Tebow draws a crowd at NFL draft combine.

Unfuckingbelievable.

It took Brandon Carter three attempts to get a mark in the standing broad jump. Nice balance, Brandon.

Takes Rutger’s Anthony Davis three attempts as well. What’s wrong with these guys?

What do you get when Bruce Smith and Elden Campbell fuck?

For years that was the question everyone was wondering. Today, Bruce Campbell answered that puzzle which was once thought to be a mystery.

Brandon Carter is straight up fat. Slow ass forty too.

Gresham got only 20 reps of 225. He had a year to live on the upper body weights and he comes with that? A way more slender, and white, Gronkowski got 23.

Ulatoski false starts on his 40 then runs an unofficial 5.53. Ouch.

Is Carter wearing coolats?

LSU’s Trindon Holliday ran an unofficial 4.27 40.

I ran a 4.30 40 in high school. Granted it was hand held. That, and the timer was a Gene Shalit look alike who taught pottery.

Trent Williams runs an unoffical 4.82. Wow.

by HenryJames on Feb 27, 2010 9:59 AM CST reply actions

Wow! Trent Williams just ran a 4.82 unofficial.

Carter verticals 24". Okung runs a 5.17. Weird stride.

by HenryJames on Feb 27, 2010 10:07 AM CST reply actions

Okung does well. He didn’t hurt himself at all especially with 38 reps in the bench. 5.17 unofficial on his 2nd.

Ulatoski completes his senior year fail with another abysmal time. It will be interesting to see where he goes, if he gets drafted at all. 5.53 unofficial.

by Patrick Bateman on Feb 27, 2010 10:17 AM CST reply actions

I ran a 4.8 as a 14 year old freshman, and never got any faster. Of course gaining 40 lbs over the next three years and finding beer might have had something to do with it.

Peter Bean of BON is at the combine and offers an interesting blog.

Bruce Campbell’s stats are indeed impressive, but does he know how to use a shotgun and a chainsaw to fight demons?

Trent Williams got in shape for the combine. Looks like he did as a junior.

by HenryJames on Feb 27, 2010 11:08 AM CST reply actions

looks like espn sideline reporter/OL candidate Shelley Smith ran a 5.11 forty

by dick on Feb 27, 2010 11:18 AM CST reply actions

Williams 40 time will help when he’s running from the po-po after stealing a coat. It won’t help him block Demarcus Ware though.

She’s lost weight.

by HenryJames on Feb 27, 2010 11:19 AM CST reply actions

Trips,

You’re thinking of DeMarcus Granger. Though his agility has improved significantly since his back surgery. After palming a Red Bull and a Snickers bar from the local Mr ShortStop gas station, he successfully evaded Norman PD on a foot chase, hurdling multiple fences along the way.

by NateHeupel on Feb 27, 2010 11:35 AM CST reply actions

Nate,

What’s the word on Gresham? Is he back to pre-injury level? He’s getting ready to run his 40 and I’m very curious to see the number.

Anyone else have fun thoughts when the Shake Weight commercial airs?

Bruce Campbell, Maryland OT, is a physical specimen.

by whoopspat on Feb 27, 2010 11:45 AM CST reply actions

Gresham runs a 4.76 in his 1st attempt. Really thought he would be closer to 4.6

by t1climb1 on Feb 27, 2010 11:50 AM CST reply actions

Bruce Campbell, Checkout Clerk S-Mart, is a a physical speciman

by ED2 on Feb 27, 2010 11:53 AM CST reply actions

Gresham was never a burner. There are so many good TEs in this draft, I wouldn’t spend a 1st rounder on any of them. 2nd and 3rd round will have some really good ones.

by dick on Feb 27, 2010 12:01 PM CST reply actions

Damn. Dorin Dickerson ran a 4.4.

He’s 40 pounds lighter than the other guys, but still.

by HenryJames on Feb 27, 2010 12:06 PM CST reply actions

t1,

That 4.76 is right about where Gresham was at OU. He never killed you by outrunning you, he killed you because he was more physical than your safeties AND linebackers, and he could damn near reach the crossbar flat footed.

More measurements:

Lamarr Houston 6’3" 305.
Roddrick Muckelroy 6’2" 246.
Keenan Clayton 6’1" 229.
Philliip Dillard 6’0" 245.
Sean Weatherspoon 6’1" 239.

HJ,

I’m interested to see how Houston and Muck test out. Any thoughts or projections?

by NateHeupel on Feb 27, 2010 12:44 PM CST reply actions

HJ,

Thanks for updating us man. Great job.

That’s an outstanding measurement for Lamar. Much bigger than most thought. He may be seen as someone who could play 3-4 DE, 4-3 DT, or even nose a la Jay Ratliff with his quickness. I didn’t realize Rod was that heavy. I’m concerned about his speed.

by Patrick Bateman on Feb 27, 2010 12:46 PM CST reply actions

Isn’t Houston a little short for a 3-4 end?

by kevwun on Feb 27, 2010 1:28 PM CST reply actions

I was expecting Lamaar to measure shorter. He’s gotta be 100% muscle.

by whoopspat on Feb 27, 2010 1:30 PM CST reply actions

Kevwun,

Yea, a little short and it wouldn’t be his optimal position but any flexibility he can provide is going to help Lamar out. I’m really rooting or him, he was so good this past year….

I go along with you actually, I do think! Will this become plausible so that you can get your web blog translated into Chinese? English is actually my own 2nd language.
