How does a freaking OL run a 4.65...unreal.

Second best. So sick.

Tyler eifert broad jump 9'11"

Beast.

2nd best after the first go round.

Ertz was 9'3"

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Will NFL Network be showing Manti speaking, or ESPN?

 

[CanadalovesND]

Manti won't talk to media until 3 pm now

 

[CanadalovesND]

Braxston's best official forty time: 5.33

Manti won't talk to media until 3 pm now

Said he is with the medical staff. Just getting a physical or is it injury related?

 

[CanadalovesND]

KLM measureables added

 

[STLDomer]

“@injuryexpert: Jarvis jones medicals did not go well. Red flags from more than one team.”

 

[NDPhilly]

Wow Theo was legit 5'10"? That's surprising.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I thought he might be about that. There was at least an inch, but not much more between Theo and Cierre.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Tyler Eifert vertical jump 35.5 inches!

Ertz only did 30.5

and Escobar 32 inches

 

[NDPhilly]

Eifert had a 35 inch Vertical while Ertz only had a 30 inch while Eifert being a .5 inch taller and weighing the same.

Eifert is clearly the best TE in the draft. Sorry Ertz. He's more athletic, has better physical traits, is a better playmaker in the passing game, and is a better blocker. I don't know why anyone ever tabbed Ertz as the better prospect... it really makes no sense.

 

[rtrn2glory]

still need to do position drills, but i agree he's clearly proving himself to be the more physically prepared of the two

Agree, and I think the combine will finally show the decision-makers what we already knew. Both great players, but Eifert is on another level athletically. I can't see him making it out of the 1st round, especially if Tony Gonzalez stays retired.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Tyler Eifert's first unofficial forty: 4.60

I expected him to run between 4.7-4.75, so this is a pleasant surprise

 

[Ironman8]

Tyler Eifert's first unofficial forty: 4.60

That is a great, great time for him. First round here he comes.

 

[Ironman8]

Ertz with a 4.72

Eifert is dominating the TEs at this combine.

So basically everything in every single category besides bench reps Eifert has significantly out-performed Ertz.

 

[Ironman8]

Escobar with a 4.88. Yikes.

Eifert's stock is way up.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Tyler Eifert's second unofficial forty: 4.62

 

[NOLAIrish]

So basically everything in every single category besides bench reps Eifert has significantly out-performed Ertz.

He's also got significantly longer arms, so I'm more impressed with his 22 reps than Ertz's 24.
