Texas linebacker Brian Orakpo has posted an unofficial 4.63 in the 40-yard dash.

Orakpo, 6′3″ and 263 pounds, has drawn comparisons from NFLN’s Mike Mayock to DeMarcus Ware.

Though he’s projected as an outside linebacker in the 3-4, Mayock, Charles Davis, and Warren Sapp agreed that Orakpo could be a rush end in the 4-3.

“You can’t put him on the left side [where] right-handed teams come at you with that big old right tackle and they just maul you and just lay on you,” Sapp said. “You can’t put him on that side.”

Brian Orakpo - 4.63, 4.63

Matt Shaughnessy - 4.86, 4.90

Lawrence Sidbury - 4.58, 4.53 very impressive

David Veikune - 4.75, 4.76

These are the guys I found most interesting.

How about Veikune's times? Can this guy do enough to stick as a OLB or will he become a pass rush specialist in a 4-3?

Intriguing, especially with his bench and now this.

Mr. T

Are you going to post shuttle times as well?

that is key for LB. More so than 40 times.

Thanks for the work that you do here Al.

? Aloysius

They don't report the shuttle times on the live stream of the drill, so no. But I'm looking forward to seeing those numbers.

The LB drills will be crucial in determining whether Veikune can play 3-4 OLB.

Great times for Curry and Cushing, and especially Brinkley. Wow.

? Aloysius

Brinkley looks like an entirely different guy; he lost about 20 pounds.

? Aloysius

Rey looks to be done for the day.

WPB Dawg Fan

Brinkley is doing himself a lot of good so far...

9'6" Broad

4.65 40

Both pretty nice numbers....and shedding down to the 254 range...should make him a very interesting prospect. Wait and see the shuttles.

Solon16

Mathews had by far the best time...JL looked slow, Rey looks like hamstring tweek. Both very disappointing

Rey Maualuga - as shared above pulled up lame

? Aloysius

Said he felt his hamstring pop.

heckofajobbrownie

Ah, the hammy. As someone who has probably pulled his hamstring about 12-15 times, you know it when you feel it.

Never pulled mine thankfully.

I never had any injury problems in sports, last spring I sprained the crap out of my left ankle coming down for a rebound while getting bumped in the air. It wasn't high thankfully, but it turned purple and sidelined me for about 2 months. A few weeks ago I rolled the same ankle off the edge of the sidewalk (it hurt much worse the 2nd time) but I was walking / jogging in 3 days. I can still feel a tiny bit of pain when I put weight / turn on it a certain way. I hope its not screwed for life now

Solon16

Really disappointed we can't get to watch Orakpo do lb drills.

listercat

Curry looked very very fast

Solon16

Mathews making himself LOTS of money.... Cushing looked very good as well.

listercat

Indeed Clay Jr is having a HUGE day

If you pull it or strain it you can pull up as soon as you feel it, which sounds like what Rey Rey did. That's a 2-4 week thing. When you tear it you just drop like some shot you in the back. That's the 4-7 week variety.

Not a lot of fun. And once you do it once, you're more likely to do it again and again. This is why it's one of the injuries that scouts look out for. It lingers over whole seasons, sometimes over whole careers. And it usually means something is wrong with your opposite leg, which was my problem.

Terry Glenn was one guy who had real hammy issues. Or you might remember Robert Edwards after his knee injury - he actually wore a brace on his good knee to try and make it less flexible so as to match the bad knee. Without the brace on the good knee he kept pulling his hamstring on his good leg.
