They simulcasted Clowney's run vs Black mamba's run yesterday, which was an official 4.5. Clowney was a step behind Thomas...so you are looking at a low to mid 4.5. Still nasty!

Aaron Donald ran a 4.65 at 285 lbs..i think that is just as freaky as Clowney

#2 bench for DL with 35 reps versus 21 for Clowney too. Not to mention he played DT!

I would definitely keep and eye on Donald if I were a GM. Disruptive MFer to have in your DL rotation. Hard to see him being anything but a productive NFL lineman despite his "small" frame. If he drops too far it will be a shame for Donald but may be a great example of "playing for the second contract" that we scoff at. If he were 2 inches taller he would be a hot commodity.

Thing is about Atikson is he got hand timed at 4.39 and 4.41, so you have to keep that in the back of your mind. Also, his pro day times will be faster than that official.

Which makes it unofficial in my book. This is a level playing field and no excuses. As a track athlete and a burner reputation he needed to be a cut above the pack and he frankly didn't do it.

I hear that. But, keep in mind his size at nearly 6'2" and 218 lbs, running faster than D'Anthony Thomas. Not bad at all.

But I did expect him to be official low 4's though.

With his size, his 10 yd is all that matters and no scout would balk at the number he put up.

I'd really like the Cowboys to look at Donald with their 16th pick. Might be a little high but I think he's worth it.
