You are speaking about Sam, correct?

 

And I thought he looked a little slow on film but admittedly I don't know his 40 time.

 

Anyone?

He ran a 4.91 at the combine, which is definitely on the slow end. His other measureables weren't great either...17 reps at 225, 26.5 inch vertical, slow shuttle time. He did run a 4.73 at this pro day, which is closer to where he should be. But there are plenty of questions concerning his ability. That being said, there have been plenty of workout warriors that posted great numbers at the combine and accomplished zero in the NFL, and also plenty of guys who disappointed at the combine and ended up being All-Pro's. No one know's for sure how he'll do until camp starts.

Thanks for the info.

 

He wasn't Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC for nothing.

theguru can do 17 reps of 225. I watched film on him like everyone else. And I'll admit he got every ounce out of his ability. However, at this level it takes more ability, and I think he lacks it.

And I don't disagree with you. For the record I can do 15 reps at 225 and I weigh about 70lbs less than him. He may be better than he's shown as he's been fighting some injuries, but I do think he is a long shot at best to make the Ram's roster.

Call me crazy but I am thinking I can run 4.91 too! :walk:

He had his 3 or 4 seconds of fame. If he is as slow and weak as you all say, then ESPN was his final act. Wait, he can always go work for the mob.

That one I'd have to see.
