Quote:I don't think there is any doubt that he can be very explosive. What concerns me a little is that he was confident of running at the combine and then he dropped out. Then he was confident of running at the UCLA pro day... and he dropped out of that too.


Probably nothing, but raises a small worry that his recovery may be slower than planned. And that raises the question, "why?"

While I was looking forward to him running at his pro day, you also have to look at it more long term. Could he have ran? I'm very sure he could have. Should he risk rushing it though, rather than looking long term? No way.

 

I think they're being very smart about this. He still has well over a month before the draft. He's holding his own day on April 1st. I'm sure he does the full work load on that day.

 

He did the drills and the jumps today. Those kind of jumps, especially for a guy coming off an injury, just show you he's all kinds of explosive. I have no doubts that he easily runs a 4.5 flat, all day long.
