Gary guyton

[gt23eric]

Did anybody see his combine results? He ran a 4.47 fourty! He just made a ton of cash. This was the fastest time by any linebacker.

no kidding.... didn't see that coming

Gary man make us GT fans proud!! Congrats to him for his early successes.

He also won the vertical (36.5) and broad (10'6") jumps, and placed in the 3-cone drill and 60-yard shuttle. Massive explosion from the lower body. But he only had 12 bench press reps.

I think all the coaches and everyone around GT knew this was going to happen, he's a stud of an athlete and he's an outstanding young man, he will be a great pickup for an NFL team.

I think that of any physical "shortcoming", upper body strength is perhaps the easiest to develop significantly, particularly when you have a frame to begin with like his.

Makes you wonder what our S&C coach was doing with him the past four years...

It's probably least important too.

I thought it was especially strange since Wheeler doubled it (24). Not that I think it matters much. He knows how to use leverage, and he obviously has tremendous lower-body strength and explosion.

uh, turning him into a manbeast?

A manlegbeast.

Is 4.47 a number released by the Combine? Or a rumor?

 

[WaCoJacket]

Combine number. 4.47. Only guy close was a 4.51 by Woodyard out of Kentucky

Yes, I decided to try and find the Combine site and indeed that is what they have listed for Guyton. Impressive to say the least.

 

[GT_LUVER]

Why is everybody so surprised? I kinda like to refer to us as LBU (LineBacker University)

 

[TechGator1066]

How did Wheeler do in the 40?? I always had the impression that he was faster than Guyton was. Perhaps I was wrong.

 

[Essobee]

But, but, but...he was only a two-star. :shocked:

he is shiftier which can translate to looking quicker on the field.

remember 40 is straitht line, LB's play in space and run 10 -20 yards the most usually at angles and avoiding blockers. None of that....= the 40.

Gary is athletic as hell, I know him, and he told me he though 4.45...glad to see he hit it. He has VERY long arms, making it tough to lift alot of bench weight in reps; he can lift alot though...
