Well getting of the line and getting off the blocks track stance wise are all about quickness and reflexes… but that is a damn good 40 for the guy.

I’ll eat the crow and say I though he was a lot slower.

I wondering if DK will run a 4.4 flatish..

Not that it means a whole lot position wise. but metcalf put up 27 reps on the bench….damn.

Shows massive dedication and hard work in the weight room for sure. Which are good things in his favor.

The Squat, dead lift, the power clean. and the clean and jerk all give a RB lower body power to break tackles soup asa well as grind out extra yards.

not surprising. but It wall up for a while. So I thought I’d share.

I wonder if it would be actually a good idea to do that?

Say go all in a FA Grab 4 patriots. LT T.Brown DE Flowers DT’s Brown & Shelton.

Then go all in with your draft capital to get these 2 WR’s.

imagine getting them BOTH as outside receivers….

What shocked me was DK beating out Butler in wingspan measurables.

Hakeem Butler Iowa St. ht6053 wt227 hn10 3/4 ar35 1/4

D.K. Metcalf Mississippi ht6033 wt228 hn9 7/8 ar34 7/8

But good lord Butler has 1st basemen’s mitts for hands

ok in 1995 I was 18 5-10 195. I could bench 300 squat 375 and deadlift 420 I wasn’t the strongest guy on my football team ether. Go down to you local HS and ask if 420 is that high of a dead lift.

I played ILB in a 5-2 Defense and DE on 3rd down as I was a better pass rusher than than a coverage LB.

I was smaller than him in high school and dead lifted 420, IMO he should be pushing 500. JMOT

I hope he doesn’t get injured. Pulling a hammy has happened to guys before.

Prediction on Butler’s 40?

Butler isn’t slow but he doesn’t seem to posses high end acceleration. IE he might time better if it were a 100 yard event vs his peers than a 40 yard event vs his peers.

I’m guessing 4.55 to 4.58

Metcalf i’m guessing a between a 4.40 and a 4.43

I too am hoping for a club option on this 1 year deal.

Bickering IMO is a bit harsh of a characterization.

But discussion football being on a football forum, I thought was the idea of places like this.

Because its so new I just want more eyeballs on what I am seeing to make sure I am seeing a prospect display NFL skills as the environment is an unknown factor.

The presumption I am using is this is somewhere between game 2&3 level of NFL football in the preseason.

Jaquan Gardener for 3rd down back….. The guy reminds me of sproles or MJD…He’s 5-7 205 with tree trunk legs and and descent speed.

I could see giving the Iron’s QB Perez a look see as Bakers back up.

Thoughts?
