Re: 2010 Football Recruiting List
The kid still sounds fast. He ran a 4.53 using laser timing while recovering from his hammy injury. That was at the Scout.com combine and using laser timing apparantly takes out the human factor and reaction time errors. At the NFL combine last year, only 4 safeties and 6 corners ran faster times. The fastest was Chris Clemons from Clemson who ran a 4.41. The fastest time at the combine was 4.30 seconds and that earned Darrius Heywood-Bey the top WR draft pick over Michael Crabtree. (Four RB's and 20 WR's broke 4.5 seconds.)

To me, the bigger issue is his size and vertical jump. While 5' 10" is not tiny, combine that with a 26" vertical and he may have difficulty with bigger receivers. My son is not athletic and he can do 23". A good training program would likely be able to improve that towards 30".
If this kid has the instincts for the game, his speed and grades lead me to feel this kid has significant potential.
