Looks like some good numbers by Tech's Saraceni as well.

Favors got much slower, compared to when he was recruited. I guess that explains why he didn't get more playing time. Wasn't he like 4.5 or 4.6 when he was recruited? Strong and McKinney did solid jobs, for their respected positions.

My contrast, my buddy's son, the Pitt o-lineman who converted from TE, scored 2 TD's from tackle in '16, and is coming out a year early, ran 4.80 and 4.82 40's, 1.70 and 171 in 10 yard shuttle and had 7.14 in the 3-cone drill. Needs to put on some weight and get stronger. He's almost 6'7". Expected to be a 2d rounder, or maybe 3d. Great kid too. As I have said before, his dad was a 5'11, 185 or so, running back at Dartmouth. His older brother was a 6', 180 lbs soccer player for Northwestern.
He has the same agent and trains in Orange County with a So. Dak. St. kid.

Those are nice numbers. I get that there are differences in weather, timers, etc, but solid numbers there. This is also why Iowa is know for good OL players. They do a lot of converting of TE to OL. Best of luck to him!

Pure speculation, but I would say the best chance is the Tech RB.

Richard Cranium said:We had an O lineman that could only do 8 reps of 225 on the Bench Press??? No wonder we have not been dominant! I'll guarantee that won't happen under BH's tenure. I'm 55 and can do 10 reps.
GrizGuy said:Question in case anyone has a clue.. The Missoulian article I read today indicates some of the numbers these guys put up were right up there with guys invited to the NFL Combine. So, how come these guys don't get such an invite? I mean aside from the fact Montana is FCS...
And related: What determines whether or not there'll be a Pro Day at a given school? I see the list here: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000919951/article/2018-nfl-draft-pro-day-schedule
But I don't see much about why these schools and not some others put on a Pro Day.
Thanks and Go Griz!
PTGrizzly said:My word those are awful numbers.
Tucker was the only one who had at least average numbers compared to his position (when talking about the NFL).
Reese is only 285 and could only put up 8 reps? And he wasn't at all athletic despite being weak?
And remember, these are hand timed...so to compare them to the combine 40's, take another tenth off. Agility tests will be closer.
I'm not sure if this is more an indictment on the athletic level of players we recruited or the S&C staff, but it sure isn't impressive by either.
