NFL breaks out sun dial for Orlando Brown's 40 yard dash.
#1
Heard the guy was targeted for the first round and ran a 5.85 40.  Even less impressive, the fact that he only benched 14 reps and was being yelled at by coaches for "loafing" during drills.  If dangling millions of dollars in front of your face can't light a fire.....what exactly can?

Perhaps he doesn't want to be drafted in the top, but prefers the bottom of the 1st round?  Didn't his dad play for the Browns?  Could want to avoid that...

That could be a possibility.  I'm not sure where his dad played, but Mayock did have him ranked as his second tackle.

Talk about simply not showing up to compete.

That is tough.  I do not think he is able to run much faster.  But his tape shows he is able to handle his business on the field.

As long as you do not ask him to pull then you should be OK.

Maybe he will be there in the 3rd round?  Doubtful.

The Combines don't sneak up on you. These guys all know it's coming. He must have run a 40 or 2 at Oklahoma to get an idea of how he would do. He must have done a broad jump and a vertical. If he can't do these things then just announce that you are coming for interviews and medicals but you are not going to risk injury by lifting and running, etc. If anyone wants an idea of what he can do, put on tapes of his games.  Some teams may not like that. Some may decide to pass.  But it is better to have some teams question whether you can do these things than to have all teams know that you cannot.

He just doesn't fit what we do at all.  His slowness is why I want no part of him.  6 years ago, he would have fit in much better with our scheme.  The current team wants to run OL to the second level a lot and he's just not capable of doing it.
