Combine Talk ft. Stephen Hill

[supersenior]

Stephen Hill ran a 4.36 40, tying for first place with Chris Owusu (Stanford) and Travis Benjamin (Miami).

He has first place in the long jump at 133 in (11' 1") with second place being Owusu at 10' 9".

His vert was 39.5, tying him for fourth with Keshawn Martin (Sparty). First place was 43.5, followed by 41 and 40.5. Kashif Moore (UConn), Jerrell Jackson (Mizzou), Owusu.

Edit: For reference, Travis Benjamin measured in at 5'10" 172lbs. Owusu is 6' 196.

So we had 2 WRs at sub 4.4 forty on the field at the same time didn't have better passing game

After all the handwringing and "I don't knows!?" looks like he'll probably do alright in the draft. Tall receiver types that run 4.3s are usually pretty hot commodities. Best of luck to Stephen.

Just ran a 4.31 to show the first one wasn't a fluke

Well said.

If he gets picked 1st day does that finally dispel the WR recruiting thing for us?

Hill was also a true freshman

And...

 

[KrazieJacket]

This thread just seemed to DROP out of nowhere. I don't think speed or athletic ability were ever questions with Hill.

 

[ibeeballin]

He just made a diving catch

I thought that might be him but it cut away quickly. Heard a lot of claps.

Here's his big test: the gauntlet. He's not known for his hands, so we'll see how he does. PS It's free to watch at http://www.nfl.com/combine/live?campaign=ext_email_CombineLive_0226_Act_0_3

Edit: Aces the gauntlet on his first run. Second upcoming. Aces the second one too. No drops yet.

 

[JT8217]

And...

So he didn't get thrown to, even when he was open. I'm sure you remember Nesbitt staring down DT from the snap and never checking down.

 

[ibeeballin]

And he just destroyed the gauntlet drill.

Yes he did, though I hope that grimace was him being upset about his cut and not an injury

 

[JT8217]

Just dominated the other direction as well.

Is this indictment on CPJ then?

Hill is pretty much the talk of this segment of the combine!! Looks like he's worked very hard since the season ended. I'm pulling for him!

$$$$$$$$$$. We all know if Mike Mayock is slobbering all over you that is a great thing because he can break you (i.e. Mike Johnson '09)

It's sad we can't throw the ---- ball. It's been more on the QB then the WR's; and PJ being a stubborn ass.

:rolleyes: like the man says, why throw more if you don't throw well. when we have a QB who can throw the ball we will use the pass more effectively.
