you would have to think these guys one they are going to test before they ever declare. If not they should. Barring a miracle at this point he probably cost himself a bunch of money by declaring.
Based on what we know right now about UW’s offense, DJ’s age and situation, his penchant for leg injuries and the dime-a-dozen nature of running backs in the NFL, I’d say he made the right decision. I can’t see a scenario at this point where he improves his lot by spending another year in school.
Based on his testing he’s going to be lucky to land a practice squad position. What’s that pay, like $150k a year with a high likelihood of being completely washed out within a few years? It seems like he could have gotten a pretty favorable NIL deal next year and still been in the same spot in terms of his draft status/future.
Jerome Bettis ran a 4.7 40 yard dash. LIPO with Johnson. He has skill sets which are highly in need - he can pass protect like a 6th lineman, and he can catch out of the backfield. His skills in the passing game will be more valuable than his ability to break off an 80 yard TD run.
I thought he just had decent speed...fast enough to stay ahead of an average DB if he got a couple of steps on them. He wasn't really blowing by guys though.
There was a tweet on the fastest 40 times ever at the combine and none of them including our own John Ross really lit it up in the NFL. Worthy won't either. You have to catch the ball
Other than Tyreke Hill the great wideouts to day run precise routes and catch the damn ball. McMillen should be able to do that very well

4.68 is just not good at all.
You have to wonder how much damage he did to his body last season. Truly one of the guys who left it all on the field.
4.49 for jmac… yikes.
He can salvage it with good agility testing. He’s destined for the slot and can probably survive without being a burner.
Not amazing. Nobody ever really gets knocked for being under 4.5 though.

Not splitting time with the guy from Arizona and Davis, et al. No guarantees with new coaching staff. He was Grubb’s guy.
And he was never gonna be an impressive tester.

Did anyone ever think he had big top end speed? I always thought he was a middle of the field guy.

Chris Johnson is the only guy that posted a top time to actually amount to something.
Worthy dropped ball is making the DeBoer family very rich
Bellichek isn't going to be around the program according to experts
