Nfl.com had him in the top 4 for the three cone drill and 20 yard shuttle times.



Yea, I didn't look at each individual event, just saw a couple of reports where he struggled today.

Other than his 40 time, "It wasn’t just the 40-yard dash that left Barber looking inferior compared to other running backs. He also finished near the bottom of the pack in the vertical jump and broad jump, and finished 12th among running backs in the bench press."

Odd. I would think that 40 time for him would be a really good thing. Speed was never his game, and for his size, that was pretty damn good.

Well, you and I disagree on the issue. I expected there to be a division of opinion and I choose to be on the right side of that opinion...

I never though he was fast. He never had any breakaway runs like Mason did. But I really liked Barber. I know he may have not had a chance but he could have benefitted with another year of training.

Still hope he gets picked up but we will see.

Peyton Barber ran an official 4.62. I think Meta's was the unofficial.

I liked Barber too, but another year most likely wouldn't have helped him much.


He never caught a squirrel.

Both CAP and Barber seemed to run 40s a lot faster than expected
