Phillipe Franks 6'7 and a 4.55 40?? Can that be right?

That's the time I saw too. You typically have to adjust for pro days, but even with the +0.07 I add for pro day 40-yd times, a 4.62 is still darned impressive.
For something like this, you'd have to get the player's buy-in, and articles I've read indicate he wants to stay at QB. (And I mean, cool if that's what he wants, but he's not likely to be a successful NFL player in that case.)
I dunno. Someone's probably gonna take a chance on him on Day 3, and he has a QB's arm -- which is certainly part of why he's never considered a move before.

Angeline not helping my argument with a weak performance. Still worth a 7th, though, I think.
Fischer unsurprisingly slow
Ricky's kid Blake did better than I expected. Wonder if that's enough to get him on a team.
Keith Taylor helped himself. I like him as a 3rd outside corner.
Baron Browning blasted up out of reach. Pete Werner, too.
Borland the exact opposite. Ouch.
Josh Meyers didn't do most events? I'm normally suspicious when players are too chicken to do testing at Combine. When there's no Combine and you won't do Pro Day, either, WTF? After checking, he has a valid excuse in foot surgery, though.
Surrat another ILB who put up some excellent numbers. Maybe you can consider one at 83.
Divine Deablo probably shoots up way past consideration
Mayfield much weaker than expected. And he's supposed to be "raw with excellent agility".
Interesting to see Bushman doing some speed tests

Anywhere that's getting all these pro days stored into a sortable table or Excel file, the way they normally would for Combine scores?
I'm not doing 100s of players of manual entry.

I'm surprised that nfl.com doesn't have the prospect list. You can search for them individually through google by searching for like "Kyle Pitts NFL Combine" and it will give his scouting report and workout results, but it's no where to be found on the site.
Weird.

I've been doing them as the pro days go along, using the data on draftscout.com (they've made their adjustments already when they post them). But then I'm typically only doing the 150 or so guys on my list, not the entire 300+ Combine invitation list.
You can also sub to Draft Scout weekly (on their site) to get them. (I'm a cheap-ass, though.)

Kyle Pitts was a Boss at this Pro Day (repping 225 pounds on the bench press 22 times, broad-jumping 10 feet and 9 inches and clocking a reported unofficial 4.44-second 40-yard dash - and an 83" wingspan - the largest recorded of any TE/WR in the last two decades.)
... but I really thought Kadarius Toney would run a little better (4.41). He looks so fast on tape.

A lot of guys train for short area quickness over straight line speed.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!
