I am currently reading that thread lol.
Only bigbang would think Philip Lindsay was a 4.39 guy coming out of high school.
Exactly...if he were a little stockier I think he would be taken a little more serious, worried that teams will have a hard time seeing beyond he measurables. But, the 4.39 should help!
No I don't believe a guy can grow that quickly.
I have never officially measured Lindsay, or any football player, and know not to take a media guide literal, so I was being optimistic that he would come in closer to 5'9".
John Elway right after the picture is taken: "Now where on Pearl Street are we going drinking?"
Yikes on Bobo's vertical and bench...
Phil would have been the 2nd fastest RB at the combine, tied for 9th in the vertical, and 5th in the broad jump.

4.49 seconds coming out of high school. He was always going to get stronger and faster.
I didn't know he had 4.39 secs in him. I knew he was quick, straight line speed was a concern. Looks like he is working hard during the off season.
Maybe I missed something, but does not seem like a "gotcha!" moment to me. Thread seemed pretty fair.
You're the one who brought up Percy Harvin.

Read the last two or three pages.
I read it all, I guess I still do not see freakish speed (which 4.39 certainly qualifies as), but good for him.
EDIT: Saw it was hand-timed, makes more sense. Still a good number for him.
They official or hand timed at pro day??

Seems like Bobo hasn’t been doing much training since the season ended. Those might be the worst numbers, top to bottom, I’ve seen for a guy with his potential. Zero chance he gets drafted.
Ross’ 4.48 and 35 vert is solid.

Here's an article with all the numbers. Looks like McCartney had a good day as well. I don't think he was fully recovered most of the year. Don't think he'll get drafted, but expect there to be some UDFA interest.

He did broad jump, shuttle and L drill (3 come I believe), all of which he was the best on the team in (shocker). He didn’t rerun his 40 though, it looks like, which is surprising.
Edit: JMBuffs correction that McCartney with the fastest L Drill

Some numbers that stand out, besides the obvious Lindsay and Oliver being freaks!
McCartney had the fastest L-Drill (6.9), decent 40 time (4.78) and bench (21)
Leo Jackson has some freaky long arms 87" with 20 reps on the bench (impressive), he could be a sleeper
Moehler looked stronger (19 reps) and quicker (as fast as Lindsay in Shuttle and L-Drill)than I anticipated, can he put on some weight and fit in somewhere as an LB?
Ross and Fields had some good numbers....while watching the Combine I was shocked that not 1 of the 3 blackout boys were invited, saw a couple prospects participating with weak stats (15 rec. 200 yards)

Lindsay isn't getting drafted. His size will scare teams away.
What he wants, and hopefully his workout performances will give him is multiple teams competing to bring him in as a UFA.
In the right situation he should be able to help a pro team but it has to be the right team. The more options he has the better chance he picks the right one.
He is smaller but could have a career like former Buff Lee Rouson who spent many years in the league as a back-up RB and special teams guy. Phil probably wouldn't be as good as Rouson on STs (Rouson was a stand out) but may be more productive as a situational RB.

Didn't Bobo get hurt a little bit at the East-West practices or something?
Darren Sproles, but much much tougher.

That’s a good one. Similar combine comps. Sproles likely had added advantage of Specialist. But good one. .
