Terrell Owens only ran a 4.65 but was far faster on the field and so difficult to contain with a ridiculous catch radius (34.5 inch arms) and off the charts strength as he developed.
I do want speed, but I also just want a great football player.

Mr Jordan Tabor would like to have a word with you...
Not sure where you saw that number and while it wasn't official or at Indy...Owens ran a 4.45 or whatever in his 40s. He was likely in 4.4 range or slightly lower back in his young days.

Ha ha TO ran a 4.43 at age 43 y/o
He ran a 4.3 in his heyday

Denzel Mims - 94.6 percentile
Jalen Reagor - 93.3 percentile
Michael Pittman - 85.7 percentile
CeeDee Lamb - 70.5 percentile
Jerry Jeudy - 21.8 percentile
Niners love Jalen Reagor. I don't think need to be in that war room to know this.
Asked an NFL scout for the fastest 10-yard splits from their stopwatches at the Combine. Three players posted a ridiculous 1.48 time:
— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) March 5, 2020
WR Jalen Reagor
WR Henry Ruggs
RB Jonathan Taylor
Perfect, Shanahan doesn't throw deep anyways
Didn't know Shanahan was playing QB
JG also doesn't throw deep

Pittman seems like he's in range of our pick. X-receiver to start. His 3 cone and shuttle times are comparable to Mims.

I think after his Senior Bowl and Combine I think he goes in the 2nd.

Tee Higgins should draw a lot of attention at his workouts. His timed speed will be important. Aside from that, he's an ideal prospect.
He's screams New Orleans and Green Bay to me. If he runs well he'll be in contention at #31.

Watched some tape of him and man is Higgins smooth. Also, is a natural when it comes to catching with his hands and has fantastic body control. I'm on board for Higgins. Looks the part of being a #1 at the next level.Originally posted by illinois9er:Originally posted by strickac:Tee Higgins should draw a lot of attention at his workouts.

Yeah he's excellent at high pointing and using his strong hands. Plus, he's from Clemson which is like a WR factory lol.

4.65 at the combine. He clearly either just had a bad run that day, or he improved his speed dramatically at the next level (being around Jerry might have helped). Could be a little of both.

I followed the 96 draft and T.O stated after we selected him that he was slightly injured during the combine and it was the reason for his slow time. Lucky for us.

What WRs from the past 5 years have come out of Clemson who is worth a darn not named Mike Williams?

Deandre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins aren't too shabby. Forgot about Martavis Bryant too
