Good weight adjusted jumps and speed. 3 cone was horrific but don't really care about testing for players like that. 

So the above is absolutely hyperbole

Also should note the agility drills are down right across the board with the new format which makes people do the agility drills with less rest and way later in the day

While the combine is interesting, what you see here is not the ball.end all to player evaluation.

I remember when people ridiculed Alabama's Andre Smith for having a bad, jiggly body.  Same with Orlando Brown Jr.  Both wound up being good RTs for the Bengals and Ravens, respectively.  Terrell Suggs ran a 4.9 40, which is slow for an edge rusher.  Yet he wound up being one of the best pass rushers over the past 20 years.  Conversely, John Ross ran a record 4.22 40 yard dash for the Bengals, and hasn't done anything.  Also google Mike Mamula when you get a chance if you are unfamiliar with him.

The combine is an important part of the pre draft evaluation process, but it isn't the only part.
