He was expected by NFL guys to run much slower, so this time is huge for him. He will no longer be thought of as a guy who simply overcame physical limitations by becoming A great technician. A 4.48 40 makes him fast enough to play on an island if his technique is solid, and he is probably the most sound CB from that point in Saban's tenure at Alabama (certainly top 3).
Curious to see what his official ends up being because his second unofficial was 4.68.
All our guys seemed to have found some extra rocket fuel at the combine . It's been very impressive to watchLOL at Wallace's time. Everyone thought he was slow. He just seemed slow compared with the other side...
Yah when the other 2 corners are running sub 4.4s everything seems slow by comparison.LOL at Wallace's time. Everyone thought he was slow. He just seemed slow compared with the other side...
A lot of guys have had much slower second runs this year. Generally the first run time has held up as the official time. Levi was probably so happy with his first time that he lost focus on the second.
exactly - we had three CBs (Hump, Averett and Brown) who ran with the track team at a very high level, so yeah, he's a bit slower than that, but so is everyone else!LOL at Wallace's time. Everyone thought he was slow. He just seemed slow compared with the other side...
But his split was significant. 4.48 in the first, 4.68 in the second.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him drafted. We bama fans need to remember our benchmark is pretty high. Reality is that T Brown would have been a multi-year starter just about anywhere else, but at here every player he's been behind either was, or will be, a 1st or 2nd round pick.
