Saquon at the Combine!!!!

PoG wouldn't take a bet that Quon runs a sub 4.4. Just tossing that out there.
LOL, looked it up, Wiki knows all. What's the muzzle velocity of those daredevils when they get shot out of a cannon?
"There is a claim that the current world record for the longest human cannonball flight is 193 ft 8.8 in (59.05 m),[4] established by David "The Bullet" Smith Jr. on the set of Lo Show dei Record, in Milan, Italy, on March 10, 2011. The distance was measured from the mouth of the cannon to the farthest point reached on the net. David was launched by an 8 m (26' 3") long cannon. It was estimated that he traveled at a speed of 120 km/h (74.6 mph), reaching a maximum altitude of 23 m (75' 6")."
According to my math, those human cannonballs can travel 40 yards in a little over a second.

Showtime Saquon, Good Luck!!! (and I don't mean to the Colts to play with Andrew)
Any results yet?

Just height & weight. 6'0", 233, 9-1\2 hands. The 40, vertical, long jump, and bench press are Friday. If he runs a sub 4.4, and bench presses like one of those Ghoolie lardasses, the draft interest will go way up.

Does hand size matter in a RB? At 6 feet 233 that is a solid build.

They cover it with both hands and/or have it tucked to their body so handsize is not an issue at that position.

Bill Polian said this morning that bench press reps mean nothing as far as evaluation is concerned...that it is all for show. He said some of the best OTs ever did not do well in the bench press....that for them...it is all about technique and lower body strength, movement and agility.
For a RB I suspect it is even more meaningless.

I agree with them. Bench is a trash butt way to evaluate anything.
If you're going to do any type of lift, might as well be cleans or deadlifts.

Not being a lifter....I assume that those are far more indicative of what kind of lower body strength you have?
If so....good point.

"close grip" bench would be something I would substitute if we're looking at maintaining the appeal of benching. That would at least target muscle groups that translate a bit more to the field itself.
But yeah, any trainer or coach worth their salt will tell you a better athlete starts with power cleans and deads.

There's a reason why they don't do those at the Combine. Risk of injury. Same reason they don't let prospects show how much they can bench, which for most of them is way more than 225.

See above. I tried a 300 pound dead lift when I was in my 20s and almost threw my back out.

I moved to rack pulls being I wanted to isolate some stuff and I'm 29. But if you're a professional athlete with professional trainers like these kids and you throw your back out doing set of 3 deads.... Just can't see it happening. Meanwhile repping 225 to failure and worrying about form later lends it self towards injury. As such you saw with Price and possibly some of the reasons you hear about shoulder and pec issues after the combine.

My goal is to not pay for the 72 oz steak out in Amarillo which is free if you can eat it without throwing up. Takes two hands I think.

Saquon, Saquon! He doing about what I expected him to do.
4.41 and 4.42 - 40 yard dash + *233 lbs at 4.4 is pretty impressive despite expectations
Verticle Jump - 41 inches ++
Bench Press - 29 reps +++

I recall you saying he would run 4.33 and probable to run sub 4.3. You projected him to break the record of reps at bench press he failed to do so. I quit following your love fest before you predicted a vertical leap. He is having a good underwear olympics.. It would be great if he was consistent in football games instead of having 1 or 2 splash plays a game against college defenses then being sub par the rest of the game. Note he won't have the same amount of splash plays against NFL defenses. He may turn out to be an average back and great return man ala Darren sproles.

He runs Official 4.0 in the 40.
Zoom-Zoom!
