4.19 40 (OK, laser time of 4.32)!

[top dawg]

Wendall Williams, a relatively unknown entity from the University of Cumberlands, set a record for the 40 yard dash at a regional combine yesterday. Guess who was there though.

 

"Williams ran so fast and jumped so high Saturday that the four scouts in attendance - from the Vikings, Packers, Chiefs and Panthers- pulled him off the field to interview him."

Only four scouts in attendance? I wonder why teams would miss a regional combine (maybe not enough manpower/logistics, IDK). Anyway, we're on the job doing our due diligence. 

I wonder how his hands are...

That's how you go from nobody to 7th round pick.

Great post top dawg. Keep finding these gems.

I'm not going to go that far, but don't be surprised if he becomes a priority as an undrafted free agent, and don't be surprised if he signs with us.

DG has found some great contributors among the UDFA crowd the last few years and this is the reason why.

Ehh. Lot of fast aspiring NFL players. Need everything else to have a shot. I wouldn't sign a guy as a UDFA just because of speed unless I saw the potential in the other necessary areas. Don't forget we have Byrd and Hill competing this year, who are both freaks with speed.

Write up seems like he has some talent.  Can't coach that physical ability, if shows any catching ability he will get drafted

G-man and Riverboat were not joking when they said they wanted to improve team speed 12 months ago. 

• T. Ginn Jr. 
• T. Williams
• D. Byrd

I hope we can add Wendall. Then the team speed would really be crazy.

Not to mention that they signed Stephen Hill to a reserve/future contract around the same time.

Well, arguably G-man, Rivera and Proehl must be among those people too---as well as Cam, who said it was a "big deal" when Hill was lost. They have all spoken to Hill's hard work, development and improvement as a receiver. In this  sense, unicorns must be real.

Hmmmm.... what do those teams have in common?  Quality.  Playoffs.

I like the company we keep.

[TheNewStandard]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm growing tired of all the interest in trying out WRs when we have Olsen, KB, Funchess, Ginn and Brown well-seasoned...with guys like Byrd and Hill waiting on the wings. 

We have too many needs to be worried about fringe draftees, especially those who attended small schools also BBersin.

FA. BPA and bringing in our practice players.

Ricky found a unicorn in Philly Brown and Teddy Ginn. Don't doubt him now.
