Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Sampson did not run the 40 at the Combine to give himself extra time to train after his late-season hamstring injury, which limited him in the CFP loss at Ohio State in December. He did run on Tuesday, hitting the 4.46- to 4.49-second range on his two attempts, per sources.

The 6-foot-1, 334-pound Simmons, one of the strongest players in the program, said at the Combine he planned to do the bench press at Pro Day, but did not end up doing it on Tuesday.

McCoy also did not go through any drills or testing, just like at the Combine, as he fully recovers from a troublesome hamstring issue that forced his early departure from the Senior Bowl earlier in the draft process.

For the likes of Mays, Thomas and others, this was their chance to impress NFL scouts and position themselves for more workouts with teams and potentially to be drafted in April, and Thomas notably jumped into offensive line drills after finishing the defensive line workout.

Disappointing times for Sampson.

Also disappointed for Bru. Without working out at either the combine or pro day there’s no way he gets drafted, right?
 
Terrible news. Golf could use a somewhat competitive Tiger Woods right now.
Huge blow to golf. Tiger woods has been golf for 2 decades. He presided over golf's golden age. He brought more fans to golf than anyone ever. Heck he even drew my wife's attention and interest, I came home from work one Friday and caught her watching the Masters.

I mean… his longest run was 56 yards this year, definitely didnt show break away speed. Agility was great, but top end speed was meh

He is a little smaller than most of them, but there are a bunch of good to great NFL backs that didn’t break a 4.5. Kamara ran a 4.56. I know Dylan wanted to hit 4.4, but a 4.46 will be fine. Bijan Robinson ran a 4.46. Christian McCafrey ran a 4.48.
 
I’ll never understand the hate…that’s like hating manning…i understand Brady…but tiger played the right way while paying homage to the ones before him who paved the way..his only stain is his private life and that’s none of our business anyways..so he’s good with me.
his private life is a non-issue with me….. I mean Arnie was notorious for his womanizing and he’s an idol

There was something about Tiger I just didn’t like. I never met him, so it wasn’t an interaction I had. Maybe he was just too good too fast for me. HGH and other PED usage is highly rumored to have happened as well…..never proven. :rolleyes:

He was driven more than any athlete I’ve heard about. That’s what made him great, and maybe what caused some to not be a fan. He wasn’t “real”almost machine like.

I’ve always maintained he’s 2nd best ever, but I could easily say #1.

Now that his career is winding down, I look back at it in awe. He’s a different person now, more accessible and I’ve grown to like him ….. a little😁
