Norwood tomorrow. Needs a good 40. I'll go 4.55. I don't see him doing better than that, but I'd love for him to.

Norwood can catch the ball in traffic. I hope his 40 is good enough to get him drafted.

i think he gets drafted if he runs sub 4.6, and if not he will be one of the first guys getting a free agent contract. he is money as a possession receiver out of the slot. if he shows out and runs faster than expected i could see someone taking him as high as the late 3rd early 4th round. runs great routes, catches everything thrown his way, catches in traffic and almost never drops from a hit, is a good blocker, knows how to find the soft spots in zone coverage, is a really smart player.

What are you guys . . . 12?

Who give a shite what a bunch of tweets say? Chance Warmack ran a 5.49 for goodness sake . . . and he was drafted 10th! Gawd, I missed the days when the news cycle was not by the minute, and people could actually digest things before they HAVE TO BE COMMENTED ON right away.

The dude will still be drafted decently and make a shitload of money.

CJ Mosley: 6'2" 234lbs

Ed Stinson: 6'3" 287lbs

Kevin Norwood: 6'2" 198lbs


If you're looking to make any bets with buddies, a good one would be "Who runs the faster 40, Norwood or Mosley?" Norwood is safe money, I imagine Mosley is a 4.6 something guy, but I wouldn't be too shocked if Mosley could manage something under 4.6. I doubt it though.

Chance was a guard. Elite OTs are supposed to be much more athletic (and therefore faster) than guards. The other top OTs ran in the 4.9-5.1 range yesterday. Like Mayock said, it's a red flag that Cyrus ran that poorly and we now know it's probably due to a bad knee

AJ's first 40 was a 4.94 unofficially, as he was running Mayock was praising him about his arm strength. "This kid's a good football player."

Win I still think Mosley will run faster, he's got great wheels for his size but we will see

Both those sizes are perfect for both guys

I'm excited to see AJ sling it today we all know he can and he gets to put to rest the misconception that he has an average arm

Mayock praising him is good to hear. I've always respect Mayock's opinion over the ESPN duo of Kiper/McShay, and it isn't really close.

On Monday, Stinson/Pagan could have big games too.

Everything has been a flag now with medical issues he might not even be a 3rd rounder. His arse should've stayed no doubt about it now I don't care where he was "projected" he wasn't ready mentally or development wise, he needed another year

McCarron's two 40 times: 4.94 and 4.91 unofficially

With CyKo, he was always a great prospect. Great size, long arms, athletic, and hell powerful too. Thing is, his technique never came along. Now we find out that his athleticism has dropped because of that knee.

Yep I feel the same way Mayock really knows his shite he said the same about Russell Wilson while everyone else and their mother was sayin "He's too small, he won't see over an OL, he isn't a leader, doesn't command respect in the huddle" all kind of BS I remember reading and Mayock was always the first guy to praise him.

Another thing people are overlooking but scouts aren't, AJ has the largest hands of all the higher profile guys, it makes a big difference.

Bortles - 9 3/8
Bridgewater - 9 1/4
Derek Carr - 9 1/2
Jordan Lynch - 8 3/8
Manziel - 9 7/8 (close)
Mettenberger - 9 3/4
Aaron Murray - 9 1/8
AJ McCarron - 10 (BOOM LOL)

Some guys who had the largest hands are Dan Marino, Roethlisberger, Steve Young, Peyton and Eli Manning, Tom Brady, etc etc etc

Yeah, really wanna see AJ throw (to Norwood ). I think he's gonna show people he can sling it, and he isn't gonna get to throw it a lot, but if he can put it down the field on time, that's big for him, because I guarantee you he's going to be the winner of the interviews. Intangibles, leadership, football IQ, he's at the top of the food chain in this draft in those departments. He'll never be Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, or Aaron Rodgers, but he can definitely be a starter for a long time with a peak period where he's really, really good. But, like I've said before, it all comes down to who drafts him.

AJs time isn't bad for the type of QB he is. Does he look out of shape to anyone else though?

He needed another yr with Cristobal to help his technique he's so damn sloppy with it

No doubt that BMW sealing had a lot to do with him looking so great last year and this year on an island against speed rushers he GOT HIS shite PUSHED IN! Is that his knee mobility not allowing him to sweep? I don't know the answer but now an NFL team knows they will likely have to get some medical attention before he's able to play again

On another note a friend of mine in Tampa was telling me he was discussing Norwood and with a 40 below 4.7 (4.65 - 4.5 range) he would get A LOT of attention from teams in the 3rd round

I love me some Norwood

Sub 4.6 is better for Norwood. I think he'll end up 5th roundish at the end of the day. He'll test well, but the college production will keep him lower, but that's good in the long run because he'll end up on a good team imo.

I hope he gets on a team that likes big physical WRs like in Seattle he'd be really really good they've been able to get great production basically out of no name guys at WR

Denver or GB would be great also
