Fortunately, the combine results are only one metric used in player evaluation. However, his 4.89 40 time may hurt his draft stock, being the 3rd slowest time among linebackers tested today.AZGrizFan said:Ursus1 said:4.89 on 1st 40
This is the problem with the combine. His 4.89 looks like shit compared to some of the top times....but the combine doesn’t measure heart, football IQ and understanding of plays as they develop....all those things Dante is off the charts in...

Bruce Arians quote
"You might run a 4.3 [at the combine], but your tape says you're 4.6. You might run a 4.6, but your tape says you're 4.4. The tape don't lie. The combine lies. You can fall in love at the combine and get your ass broke," Arians told reporters Tuesday.
CDAGRIZ said:Lost in a lot of this is the fact that the dude’s name is Dante Olson. You gotta draft him on name alone for an LB spot. Add in the pure talent, and it’s a no-brainer. Because there is nobody named “Tackles McFourthdownnow” in the draft this year (yet again), Dante wins the most badass name in the combine by a landslide.
Yeah, I didn't word that very well. Really, he tied for 9th place in the broad jump, and 11 total athletes had jumps equal to him, or better.SaskGriz said:His 7th place finish puts him in the top 11? Crazy.grizband said:Broad Jump: 124" (10' 4")
