Norwood ran a 4.48 40 at 6'2" 190 for the combine. Mullaney ran a 4.52 in the 40 at 6'2" 209 pounds. Similar athletes, similar skill set. That being said, Ridley will be THE MAN sooner rather than later. As Amari Cooper said, "he's a better WR at the same stage than I was".
Foster (finally showing some maturity), Stewart, Mullaney, Ridley, Chris Black, and OJ Howard.

Running a 4.48 at the combine at 6'2 190 is entirely different than running it at a school. Mullaney is probably a 4.6 guy. We see inflated height, weight, and 40 times every year on every team. On average, you can add 0.88 seconds to any reported 40 time to get a realistic expectation of their NFL combine time.

It depends. At Bama, they don't inflate the stats at Pro day. They usually wind up being pretty much the same at the combine. The Barn tends to have half a dozen guys running in the 4.2's every year, though. Regardless, Mullaney is a very good WR with a huge catch radius. His highlights are impressive. He'll help a lot. He's not a burner, but a very reliable WR that gets open and uses his body well, with pretty decent speed. One could make the argument that Norwood was aided by playing alongside Cooper. There's different ways of looking at every argument.

So Norwood is a 4.5 range guy and this transfer is bigger and in the 4.6 range maybe. Very similar, just like I said. This is a very nice pickup by Bama. Dude had over 1,000 yards receiving in a year and a half of work before he got hurt. We may not see him a lot early as he learns a new offense, but by mid season I could see him being a big part of the offense just like Norwood was for us. Just a a dependable, clutch type guy. Very pleased with this.

This could actually be a very big pick up for us. Veteran guy, with good size and hands...could be the key we need to make this offense go.
Eerily similar talk as Jacob Coker..

Except he actually has statistics to back up that claim

Two thoughts: 1) Not really. Coker was a back up with no real game experience. Mullaney was on pace for back to back 700+ yard seasons in the 2nd best conference in the nation before an injury. No comparison at all, really.
2) Considering what Kiffin did with Blake Sims last season, you might want to hold off on the Coker mocking a bit until the season plays out. Just sayin'...

"Talk" is the key word... Not saying he isn't a great athlete, just saying let's see him play in bama's system before we herald him as a season changer, ala cokerish 2014 preseason.

Truth hurts for you. Every year you have a host of guys that run about .2 seconds in the 40 faster than Amari Cooper. Like clockwork. Jake Holland run anymore 4.45s lately? Any more 4.18s for Corey Grant? It's not really a huge deal. A few schools do it. None have the otherworldly times you guys come out with, though.Posted on 6/17/15 at 8:37 am to Bama3714

None of this is true. A little google search and you wouldn't look like such an idiot. Either that, or you have no earthly idea of how 40s are timed at Pro Day.

Not sure how you go about arguing none of this is true. This is pretty widely KNOWN and criticized by more fanbases than Bama fans.
So, basically all of it is true. Again, it's not really a big deal, though. Who cares? Why are you getting worked up about it?
You don't just merely reek of LBS. You reek of little red-headed, ugly, cauliflower ear-stricken, hairlipped bastard LBS.

The only case of lil bro in this thread is you. Come in here spouting nonsense about Auburn when they weren't even brought up by the person you were responding to. No factual information. Nothing but pure 'bama bullshite you'd see on tidefans or woollyal.
You are the definition of lil bro.
Bring up Auburn some more. You know you want to. You know you can't help it. You know it eats at your brain.

It looks to me like Bama was conned into taking Coker by all the talk about him being as good as Winston from the FSU coaches. After that played out the way it has and he hasn't even locked down the job over a RS freshman that's never played, I'll wait until this guy plays some to form my opinion of him.

Look at you. Still TRYING in this thread, God bless you.
You're seriously sitting there, in your trailer, with laptop propped on your beer belly, telling me that Auburn does NOT or has not inflated their numbers? So you guys really didn't report about half a dozen guys running 4.3 or below last year (and basically every year), including Corey Grant running a 4.18 and Jake Holland running a 4.45 a couple years ago? We all just imagined it?
I will continue to bring up Auburn... and LSU... and Texas A&M. And Tennessee... and Georgia. As I've done in other threads when something comes to mind. And I'll do it unprompted! When noone else even mentions them in a thread! How about that? But by all means continue to defend the indefensible. After all, irrationality is one of the main prerequisites of LBS.

Here, I'll throw you a bone since you seem to have a hard time grasping facts.
Corey Grant ran a 4.26 & 4.32 at Auburn's pro day. His times ranged from 4.19 to 4.34. Now if you had any clue on how pro day works, you realize these aren't Auburn guys timing the event. These are fricking NFL scouts. For example, NFL Analyst Mike Maycock clocked him at 4.25 & 4.27. NFL Media's Gil Brandt timed him at 4.28 & 4.30.
Now tell me again how Auburn boosts their 40 times by two tenths of a second.
Jake Holland's fasted 40 time ever recorded was 4.53... in high school. He ran a 4.70 at Auburn's pro day. Again, find one link of him running a sub 4.5 forty.
Any other brain busting examples you want to provide? Or you going to continue your AL.com antics on this website?

That's a bit of a joke tbh. Size and speed are just as exaggerated at Bama as they are everywhere else. Just a recent example.. Bama listed Trey DePriest at 6'2 250 lbs. At the combine he came in at 6'0 252 lbs.
Another really good one is Trent Richardson.. Bama listed him at 5'11 224 lbs. NFL combine rolled around and he came in at 5'9 228 lbs.
