That is all he has listed besides what we already know on this site.

2011 NFL Combine: S

He could have tried out for our bball team.

Stood the chance of getting injured his final year that might have cost him his one shot at playing in the NFL. I'm sure the frustrating senior year of Clayborn was in his mind too.

Or so he doesn't have to go through 'workout' hell and into a hospital (man that story died)

Or so he doesn't have to get tested (actually tested) on a continually basis for 'stuff'.

Or because AA graduated.

Wow, I've seen a lot of guys wear a tinfoil hat, but you actually pull it off

Honestly, he really has peaked physically. He's not going to improve physically with another year in school. He's also had 2 shoulder surgeries already (which could explain his tackling woes this season, as well as his low bench reps). And this year's safety class is pretty weak, to boot.

He looked very impressive in the drills, I was surprised how he looked a lot stronger than most of the other DBs. Just wish we could see CF at the combine, I think he would be a stud like Tony Moeaki?

Why does anyone on this board care about Hawks in the the present or past combine?

Most of us don't; and half that do don't want it discussed because it brings the State of Iowa's "brightest minds" out of the woodwork.

We are an Iowa school and they are our biggest rival. Guarantee Duke boards talk about North Carolina and Auburn and Alabama talk about each other, and so forth.

Fort Valley State, Abilene Christian, and other small schools like these get a lot of kids who don't get into D1 schools for whatever reason and also don't go JuCo. Every year you see some vitrually unkown school have a first or second round draft pick.

Doubt it. All secondary players are listed as DB--. NFL.com is likely too lazy to look up that Sims is a S and not a CB, and thus put him in the top performing lists at corner and not saftey.

For an NFL safety he is decently fast, for an NFL corner, he would probably be a step slow. Not to mention the completely different coverage mechanics involved.
