Combine Results / OLB

According to Jordan's agent on twitter, his 3.96 20 yard shuttle tied the NFL combine record for LB's (AJ Hawk Ohio State 2006)
 
Best 20 yard shuttle time for a linebacker, ever? From the below NFL website, JT's 3.96 equals
AJ Hawk in 2006. The site has all times at Combine since 2006, so 9 years.

JT's 3 cone shuttle would have been second last year. His 6.89 compare's to AJ Hawk's 6.82 in 2006.

Tied for 6th in vertical. Tied for 9th in broad jump.

I bet her $100 that Tripp wouldn't be on an opening day 53 man roster.

I said Trumaine was going to be the best active griz player in the NFL when he went and I said Tripp will be a 2nd string/possible long snapper in a 3-4 round range. Looks like I need to go work for espn.

Alpha said he really enjoyed that show...be careful when you speak for others....but you got the "big guy" part right. 8-) 8-)
 
This report says that Denver needs to shore up their corps of linebackers, and so for the draft they are looking hard at two, including Tripp. Which would be nice if they took him since they show the Broncos so often on TV in Montana.

Jordan Tripp:

-Tripp is a small school linebacker, who had some upside and potential. Questions remained though how legit he was, and Tripp answered a lot of those questions with a just great all-around Combine. He did pretty well in all the workout drills (top 5 in the 3 cone and 20 yard shuttle), and really looked great in the positional drills. He's just got great instincts and technique and that was on display throughout the drills.

I thought two players from the Western part of the United States showed up at this Combine and put on a nice show were, Jordan Tripp of Montana and Jordan Zumwalt of UCLA. These were players that we had a chance to see at the Senior Bowl and they came to Indianapolis with a purpose in mind. Usually when you see linebackers in that 6-3 to 6-4 range, they don’t move as well in the drills but that was not the case at all with these guys. I really liked what I saw with Tripp and Zumwalt as overall athletes. There numbers put them right there with several of the top linebackers we are talking about in this draft. While they worked there was not that stiffness or struggle to turn and move. Both players were smooth and looked comfortable, no matter what they were asked to do. What was impressive about these players that I was waiting for them to fall apart in the drills and get sloppy but that wasn’t the case at all. It was a nice showing for both.

From http://sportschatplace.com/nfl-picks/2014/02/25/top-ten-2014-draft-prospects-linebacker-edition:

(Number is ranking for all linebackers in combine.)

7. Jordan Tripp (OLB-Montana) - Originally projected to a be a late rounder, Tripp thoroughly impressed in his combine performance yesterday, which could elevate his draft stock considerably. Tripp was a top performer in both his 20 yard shuttle and 3 cone drill. In addition, Tripp has impeccable character, loves the game, and works hard both on and off the field. These traits will be attractive to teams around the league.

From http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1972286-nfl-combine-2014-day-5-notebook:

Keep an eye on Montana linebacker Jordan Tripp

Tripp stood out from my perspective because he moves like a strong safety. At 6’3”, 234 pounds, the linebacker has the footwork, transition skills and the lateral ability that allows him to sink his hips and drive on the ball.

The Montana product posted an official 4.67 40 time, but I was more focused on his skill set as it applied to the positional work on the field. This is where Tripp showcased the athleticism I saw during the Senior Bowl sessions. And while I do believe Tripp has to get stronger as he develops in the pro game, he has the ability to develop as a Nickel linebacker early in his NFL career.

Tripp's 20-shuttle was the 7th best at the Combine. Better than all running backs, all corners and all safeties, except for 1 safety who run .01 faster.

I know that statement is true but it still just blows me away. I know the kid is an athletic freak, but...........
 
So Jordan Tripp is one of the elite athletes in the entire country? If he is this far ahead of the rest of the world on athletic talent how exactly did he land at Montana? Was he a 4 or 5 star coming out of high school? If he is as good as I am reading one here is it possible he just dominates the NFL like Butkus or Taylor did? This is special if you are Tripp and you find out you are better than all the other players in the country, good for him! :clap:
