Smith was smooth though, he didn't have tight hips.

AND he had 35.5" arms
AND he had criminally underrated lateral agility
AND he maximized the leverage he gained from core strength and those long arms with hand placement to create the soft edge that most speed rushers exploit with their get off and dip.

Aldon's dumbass mistakes screwed us, but he was truly a freak, and revisionists often undersell his physical traits.

He's nothing like Aaron Lynch. Watch Aaron Lynch in college. Dude was athletic and explosive as f**k. He had a 1.5 10-yard split at his pro day. There was a point in time where "Aaron Lynch vs Jadeveon Clowney" was a real debate with substance.

Waste of talent.

Damn.

I think that's really going to hurt his stock. He already wasn't very athletic on tape. I'm sure teams were eager to see how he tested.

Could be our gain, the combine is so overrated. He can rush the passer, don't need to see him prance about in shorts.

What's the timeline on that recovery though? Like 5 months or so? Also it was very important to see him out there, his issue is lack of athletic ability. His 3 cone and 20 yard shuttle could have helped him/or hurt him even more.

I like Duke but it's the NFL you need to be athletic vs these OTs.

Sounds like he might drop quit a bit now too bad for him.

Really? Labrum recovery is suppose to be a 5-6 month recovery (reported from the Trent brown surgery) if he just had the surgery that's gonna put him end of July early August. He's gonna miss OTAs, rookie mini camps, and might miss some of training camp as well depending on recovery/setbacks.

I'm down to take a look at him later in the draft no doubt, he's gonna be a day 3 guy for sure.
