Team Speed...

[Chamellion]

If we want speed we should get Usain Bolt.


But just for reference, the consensus best cover corner in the country, Morris Claiborne, runs a 4.45, with a high of 4.57. That isn't blazing speed, fast yes but not Patrick Peterson fast. What matters more at corner, as explained above, is being able to read the quarterback and the ball in the air. Tee has been talked about has having one of the best instincts in this class.

We are in the process of getting SEC speed on the DLine. Monsters who can run 4.6 or less, thats what the SEC has that the other teams dont.

Kick him in the junk whilst there

I may just skip the question and only go for this tactic.

not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but this seemed like as good a place as any.

#NotreDame players George Atkinson III, Josh Atkinson and Bennett Jackson all tell me they've clocked in with a 4.3 in the 40 (hand). #Irish

Yeah baby, I wondered with the Adkinson bros., because their track times were so good.

Jackson was close, I knew; but I guess I lost track of him. Looks like we have two potential starters at corner with 4.3's. And one returning kicks with Devonte Neal.

Nobody has defensive linemen who run a 4.6 40.

I'd argue that. Not that any of our guys do, but there are some fast D-lineman.

 

[Irish Fam]

4 D lineman just ran 4.6s or better at the combine...

 

[STLDomer]

I dont know if they mean 4.3 exact but sapp tweeted this @BGI_JasonSapp: #NotreDame players George Atkinson III, Josh Atkinson and Bennett Jackson all tell me they've clocked in with a 4.3 in the 40 (hand). #Irish

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

Vontez Burflict just ran a 4.9 ha

 

[4irishnation]

fastest 40 time for SEC D-lineman at NFL COMBINE was Fletcher Cox from Mississippi St. and Melvin Ingram from South Carolina with a 4.79

How dare you leave off Jalen Brown, when he had the fastest 40 time on the team last year!

 

[Grahambo]

How about that mammoth DT from Memphis who at 346 lbs ran a 4.86.

Oh you would be surprised at what I dare! Way more that that! I guess I was just speaking of a grouping of three that were on my mind, (*because of the post.) But you are right. Jalen Brown is a corner, and he is fast as ****. So that would even more make my point. I am sorry I forgot him. Four corners faster than greased lightening, hope they can close on the ball this fall!

Poe...he actually ran an official 4.98 and benched 225 44 times!

 

[NDhoosier]

^Isnt the record at the combines for bench 49 times?

 

[4irishnation]

Yep, last year Stephen Paea DT from Oregon St.

Sounds like another Raiders project.
