Do we have a 3rd. Whats his short shuttle and cone times? Thats a better measure of quickness than 40 time. Even the 20 yard dash is a better indicator.going to drills now....washington's second forty about the same. sean smith looks like a freak at 6'3 214 and 4.47 40...can't wait to see his drills.

what i forgot about jenkins was that, in addition to not having top-end speed, he also isn't particularly strong, seeing as he only put up 15 reps in the bench press. seems like jenkins is a more polished player, but vontae davis has far more physical potential.
edit: jenkins' 3 cone time was good, though, at 6.59.

If Mangini likes taller CB's with good short shuttle times, Kevin Barnes would seem to be a fit - love that 3.96 shuttle time.
Could be a guy we end up taking late in Round 3/early in Round 4.

Clemson safety Chris Clemons ran a 4.41? Wow, he made himself some money there.
-
Also, Stephen Hodge reportedly ran a 4.49 at 234 lbs. This guy had one of the greatest bowl performances I've ever seen (11 tackles, 9 solo, 3 TFL, 1 sack, and an interception).
He's got some character baggage that needs to be checked out, and he was more of a S/LB hybrid than a true safety at TCU. But I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Browns uniform next year; at the very least, he'll be a dominant special teams player.

"Arrested in April 2007 for unlawful carrying of a weapon and reckless discharge of a firearm…case eventually dismissed. Police report said Henson had a handgun, then handed it to teammate Stephen Hodge who fired several rounds into the air."
Not great. Could be worse, I suppose. Would need a thorough background check, of course.

Firing shots in the air is certainly not as bad as firing shots at another person. I'm not saying it's perfectly fine, people can get hurt from falling bullets, but hopefully he was just blowing off some steam or just being a foolish kid.
I always keep an eye on big Safeties with speed. I'm always looking for the next David Fulcher.

speed has never been jenkins' primary asset. it's his instincts, awareness and physicality that make him a good player. i wouldn't get wrapped up in jenkins' forty time unless you're looking for a lightning fast safety.
also, this is the first combine in the colts' new stadium, and it looks like it's got a really, really slow track. draftologists are going to have to adjust what they consider great times, especially in the 40 and the 60 yard shuttle.

The only thing that matters to me is 'how is his football speed'? Always seemed plenty fast during the games.
