Thread: 2019 NFL Combine News and Notes

Lock running a 4.69'and showing touch didn't hurt himself. I'm beginning to think stidham or Jackson or Rypien is our only choice without giving the farm to move up

Stidham and Rypien have tiny hands. King you woke me up on arm length for tackles....convince me little girl hands don't matter at Qb. Oh and why do I keep forgetting Jordan Ta'amu. Love that kid

Here's one side of the argument.


Here's a quote that I find to be pretty telling: To recap: There is no correlation between hand size and fumble rate or cold-weather performance, and Murray was exceptionally good at avoiding fumbles and playing in cold weather during his time in Norman. That's from this article https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/02/nfl...-doesnt-matter


I would imagine larger hands could be a boon more so than smaller hands could be a detriment.

Risner is apparently showing well. No way he lasts til round 2. This displeased me.

Montez Sweat just ran a 4.42 and 4.46 unofficial at 260 pounds. With his senior bowl week, add him to the list of players flying up draft boards.

Plus he has a nice bubble.

34 7/8" arms
9 7/8" hands
27 Reps on the bench press
40.5" Vertical
11'2" Broad Jump
4.33 40 time

With those numbers and his film, he's going somewhere between 4 and 10.

For a guy that averaged around 3 catches per game in his college career?

I hope it's not us.

He had freak injuries

Oh. Well that's why I used his average catch per game played. Are you telling me played hurt or that he typically sat out the second half of games?

david boston thinks he should lay off the juice. . .


in news more relevant to our interests, devin white and devin bush ran 4.42 and 4.44, respectively. . .

I would be happy of either Devin white or Devin Bush. But I'm not sure that bush fits us. I would much rather get one of these freak offensive lineman or defensive lineman

By the end of the combine, there will be 15 players that are solid locks to be taken in the Top 10.

4.37...unless they changed the official time

Corners not tackling is less damning (can still be an issue) today than in years past.
