Pretty fair IMO***

4.32 is amazing


Feb 20, 2014, 8:14 PM

His acceleration looked unreal on those screen passes in the bowl game. I think he might go under as well

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

IMHO


Feb 21, 2014, 5:23 PM

Not going say he breaks the NFL record, 4.24?

But I'll say something like...4.31.

On this site, I saw a replay of C.J. Spiller running 2 "unofficial" 40's timed by the combine folks, and one was 4.27 and the other was 4.28. That is pretty fast. Don't know if Sammy beats that, but he will be just fine with his combine results, IMO. Whoever gets him will have a great football player on their roster. He is a winner, plain and simple.

I'm actually going to say barely over and will love to eat crow if I am wrong.

Sammy is very fast, but keep in mind that Dabo himself


Feb 20, 2014, 8:40 PM

said that Sammy was not the fastest player on the team. Both Peake and Bryant have had faster unofficial times than Sammy, if not mistaken.

I think over. His burst to full speed might be the best I have ever seen!

I think, Hopper and Martavius Bryant are supposed to be faster, too. So what? Sammy is a player, and whomever gets him will be the better team for it.

I agree totally - I think he's the best receiver in the


Feb 20, 2014, 9:53 PM

draft and I may never see a WR of his caliber at Clemson again in my lifetime; but that's not my point. My point is that there is such a huge deal being made about his speed, you'd think it was going to be some kind of mind-blowing, unbelievable number, but he was not even the fastest player on our team.

I believe I read where he was our 4th fastest player last year. Whatever, he has lit up the highlight reels for 3 years, and he is never more than a step away from a TD.

... the guy chasing him.

That's ALL that matters in the game of football.

Agreed, and I think what sets Sammy apart more than


Feb 20, 2014, 9:58 PM

his speed is his ability to beat defenders with his routes, fakes, and double moves.

He made the comment that he has yet to be run down from behind.

Sammy is a top 10


Feb 21, 2014, 9:06 AM

Because of his athletic ability. His speed is 1/3 and his football smarts are another 1/3 ...it is his ability to make the difficult catch that I believe seperates him from this yeats crop of WR.

least one sceond over for Rich

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

6 seconds? lol It's incredibly easy to run a 5 sec


Feb 21, 2014, 9:23 AM

40. Pretty much any non-overweight HS kid can do that. Just look at how much faster the 4.3 guys are than the 4.6 - 4.7 guys. That's the difference b/t a guy like Spiller and the college LBs that he left 10 yards in the dust.

I dunno much about Eisen's physical condition, but he would basically have to be running on 2 knee replacements to not get a 6 second 40.

Want to edit that to say non-overweight HS kid that
