Notre Dame 2014 Combine Invitees: Results & Analysis

I want to know how the Hell Cameron Clear from Texas A&M got invited to the combine but Riggs didn't. Clear this year as a TE had 5 catches for 34 yards, and for his career had 9 catches for 76 yards and 1 touchdown. WTF?

He caught a pass from Manziel, could Riggs do that!?

Daniels' first unofficial 40 time: 4.62

second unofficial 40 time: 4.65

CanadalovesND · Feb 21, 2015

So far in the drills, Daniels has caught the ball very well. No drops in the Gauntlet, caught ball off his body.

He looks pretty good, but those times won't help his draft stock.

Yes those are not good times for somebody his size. I'm pretty surprised by that. I thought he'd be a mid 4.5 guy

johnnycando · Feb 21, 2015

In my opinion, he was a mid 4.4 to 4.5 guy.

That's what a year off will do to a man.

That's why you keep your nose clean.

You think he's been off for a year? It sounds like his Father has had him in full time combine training since the day he left South Bend. I'd bet the house Daniels never ran a sub 4.5 in his life. Hell, he may have never run a sub 4.6 and there's nothing wrong with that , Jerry Rice didn't either.

40s

40s

Of the 44 WO's listed, 5 didn't run.

Of the 39 that did, only 6 ran a slower 40 than Daniels.

Only 9 recorded a time of 4.60 or slower.

20 were sub 4.5.

5 were sub 4.4

1 was sub 4.3

Either it was one of Kelly's classic over talk his players speech or Daniels lost a step but Kelly said in a presser that Daniels had high level combine numbers.

NDdomer2 · Feb 21, 2015

kids almost always run better at pro day. Daniels will get another chance.

Sherm Sticky · Feb 21, 2015

I def never thought Daniels ran in the 4.4 range. Honestly I thought he would run 4.55 to 4.6 so not far off. He is a big receiver though.

Disappointing 40, I expected much better. I think he makes a team easily and gets in rotation.

GoldenDome · Feb 22, 2015

I would be more interested in 10 yd and 20 yd splits.

Graybeard52 · Feb 22, 2015

No link but Keith Arnold tweeted that DD's 10 yard split was 1.58. Not what you would call great but it means he covered yards 10-40 in a little over 3 seconds. If he could knock a few hundredths of a second off of his official combine time at his pro day, he would be in the range that most people thought he would be.

Other stats that measure burst or whatever you prefer to call it: Tied for tenth among WRs in both the vertical and broad jump, 37" and 122" respectively. Those are decent numbers for those drills.

Here are a couple of miscellaneous factoids: SBNation posted all of the physical measurements for combine WRs and out of 44 receivers, he had some of the smallest hands and shorter arms relative to his height.

Daniel's full combine results:

40: 4.62
Broad Jump: 10'2"
Vt Jump: 37.0"
BP: 13 reps

No 3 cone or shuttle times.

Breathing makes that much difference in sprinting? Or is it aerodynamics?

Truthfully? Not that surprised.

I do caution, not to buy too much into combine numbers one way or the other. He will get a chance and just might surprise.

with a freakin' gold watch on lolz

Sherm Sticky · Feb 22, 2015

Fowler is a freak. Will be a top 10 pick, even though his production doesn't equal top 10 pick

Anquan Boldin was dismissed as a wasted pick after his combine, and Mike Mamula was vaulted into the top 10 for his. I agree, it's far from an exact science.

Hopefully the Bears draft him or Fowler. Need a rush end desperately.

Most coches/scouts will say that what's more important then things like the 40 or the bench press is getting a physical look at the kids. See how big they truly are. How they carry weight, etc. It does help so you can't completely dismiss it but things such as a 10 yard split are probably more important then someone's total 40 time. From being a Giants fan, Tom Coughin likes to sit at the 10 yard line as that's something he prefers more times then not.

Just so many others things you can go by and look at before you rely on the combine.

The Giants could use him too but I highly doubt he lasts to #9. Giants philosophy tends to lean more towards BPA then any specific position but OL/DL and LB are areas of major need and they need to get an immediate impact player. Someone who can step in and play from day 1.
