Not elite speed, but has the footwork to keep up. Captain was a 4.51. The more I watch the more it seems like the comparison might fit. Technically sound, great feet. Punches above his weight at the line and can tackle. Go watch a few videos and you’ll like what you see. Size is the obvious reason for his fall.

Well...if you feel ok with that.... FYI CJ Henderson ran 4.39 ...

Yes and he was 9th overall. For me 4.54 isn't slow for a CB, now if you to comment on his short arms, which make you look slower.

richard Sherman was a 4.6 guy by my members unit. I think he was a 5th too. 

Hell 40 times are mainly who worked on the the starting blocks 95% of the time. 

Ill have to watch the senior bowl stuff to see if he plays slow.

Teams use game speed as their measuring stick. That's what matters anyway.

One fact that many didn't know about captain was he had like a 400 LB bench. Now I think benching is trash and worthless, but for a 180 LB guy ....... that's a big reason why captain was great in press coverage, you're not going to move him off your spot....

troy Hill made chinn sit the bench and I hope he's willing to coach up wade....

Yep, 4 seconds and forty yards is forever for most nfl plays. Tenths of seconds of difference in the 40 tell only part of the story (and it seems like always an overblown part this time of year). Someone posted a video earlier in the week that mentioned that there’s only been 1 1,000 yard receiver (Santana moss) out of the last top 20 or so 40 times.

He seems to be a small Donte Jackson with an attitude. He could play in the slot but seems too short to play against taller receivers on the outside. I like the dog in him but wish it were a pit bull instead of a beagle.

He at least looks above some recent King Charles cavaliers we’ve been drafting lol

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
