Clarett had his pro day today and posted some interesting numbers.... 4.66, 4.63 and 4.67 second 40-yard dashes standing long jump of 9 feet, 5 inches vertical jump of 36.5 inches lifted 225 pounds 19 times
the time is slow, but no slower than the other backs in this draft, the bench number was fantastic though for a back
hehe, Im not that bad, but I do like speed and I believe in the concept of team speed, so I will always seek faster players in that game, specifically DEs with speed in the 80s, LBs with speed in the high 80s to lower 90s and Safeties with speed in the mid 90s and up, bring me those players and Ill build a defense that takes away 5 balls a game, unless you are playing FS, then it will by more like 8
well, at least you have finally begun to accept some slower players, for once are WR only have 90 speed, and no tackles more than you do
Clarrets 40 time at 4.6 is not bad at all. Like you said beef most rbs in the nfl are around that speed on the watch. I know from playing ball from hs to semis in my days when coaches took 40' speeds some guys ran alot faster without the pads then when it came time to wear the pads the guys who actually ran slower 40's were actually faster with the pads on. Those little stats you posted beef werent a bad day for a man who isnt suppose to have a good vertical or a decent 40. Remember they said kevin jones from v tech was supposivly suppose to run 40's in 4.4's. His little private workout he ran 4.6 and 47. Not bad for clarrett, however i think nfl coaches and scouts will stand there ground on the kid and discriminate him for what he did, also his injurys at ohio st will haunt him as to wear he is taken in the rds. All in all not a bad personal showing to the scouts.
