Kittle was his favorite target. Speedy, well built TE that needs refinement as a blocker but instantly he's a better option than Celek.
Ran a 4.52 40 at 250 pounds. Very good value at this point in the draft.
what was Vernon's time again at what weight?
Like 4.38 at 250.... I think
there's no way he ran an official 4.38 lol
I think people forget what a physical freak Vernon was when he come out of college.
there is a reason he got us those big play TDs. he was just was alittle stiff. not agile.
I'm trying to remember the last TE that went that high in the draft.
This is definitely in the past, but...
VD always made me angry. He always would try to move and move and move to try to avoid a tackler and then let his pure speed get him through. I was hoping eventually he would just truck over a defender - especially a DB.
Oh well. He was a talented specimen.
@IT21, Vernon did run a 4.38 actually. See here: http://www.nfl.com/player/vernondavis/2495826/combine
He was a combine monster. 42" vertical as well. He checked in at 6-3 254 pounds at the time.
