    Sam McGuffie is an incredible athlete. I hope he's able to keep out of harm's way.

      Cox cam back and trained extensively with Mike Barwis which is a nice piece to this. Very happy for him and hope he has a good run. Certainly a nice match with the Giants for him.

    Is McGuffie's number of 4.28 for the 40 correct? That's got to be one of the better -- if not the best -- times in the combine. The best numbers I've seen are in the 4.35 to 4.4 range.

    McGuffie should've played WR or DB. Probably WR

    Darryl Stonum provides some insight into two conversations that have been going on around here lately.

    Coming out of high school he was a top 20 national four star recruit from Texas at Wide Receiver who was advertised as having 4.4 speed and an offer list that included both florida and USC.

    Flash forward five short years and he's an undrafted free agent with an electronic 4.57 40 and struggled to get on the field his senior year at Baylor.

    Oopsies!

    Who ya gonna trust, your own eyes and video or Rivals/Scout/24-7/ESPN none of whom have much in the way of real hard measurables and no character analysis.

      Going along with the character analysis thing, I think Stonum probably could have run faster than a 4.57. I get the impression that he didn't have the best training regimen or concentrate on football as much as he should have, considering all the legal issues he had.

    Jones did less and damn oneill did as many bench presses as McGuffey? Is this the same amount?
