February 21, 201511 yr Why make a QB run the 40? Agreed? Why make the linemen run a 40 as well? Who cares how fast your left tackle (protecting your QB's blind side) can run the 40?
February 21, 201511 yr Winston throws a beautiful ball. Mariucci says his brain is really good. He'll be the #1 overall pick IMO.

February 21, 201511 yr Author Mariucci says his brain is really good. He'll be the #1 overall pick IMO. I just read Winston put a show on and showing he is clearly the best QB at the combine. Edited February 21, 201511 yr by uk#1fan
February 21, 201511 yr Mariucci says his brain is really good. He'll be the #1 overall pick IMO. If I'm the Bucs I'm working out a deal with him right now.
February 21, 201511 yr Why make a QB run the 40? What about QB's doing the 225 bench press? Do they still make them do that?
February 21, 201511 yr I don't need to know how fast they run 40 yards. It tells an evaluator NOTHING about how well the player will fare as a QB in the NFL. It tells you about their speed. Every drill isn't position specific. There's no harm in making them run the drill. If you are spending millions on a player I'd want to know everything I could about them.

If you are spending millions on a player I'd want to know everything I could about them. Tell me how speed shows how well a college kid will make throws required at the NFL level.
February 21, 201511 yr Who is actually watching the combine? Anyone? I watched quite a bit this morning. The wife walked by, took a look, and said, "That must be boring". I just shook my head. In addition, I really like listening to Mike Mayock. One of the best in the broadcast biz.
February 21, 201511 yr Tell me how speed shows how well a college kid will make throws required at the NFL level. Both QBs have been known to extend plays and use their legs. It tells the teams which one may be able to use their speed to get extra yards or get the edge.
February 21, 201511 yr Both QBs have been known to extend plays and use their legs. It tells the teams which one may be able to use their speed to get extra yards or get the edge. ...and that can all be discerned on tape. If I were a QB I wouldn't run. Just watch my passing drills along with all of the film and you'll know whether I can play or not.
