FYI...Devin hester (bears return man) runs a 4.45 to put that into perspective. While im sure he is hyping himself up( as do ll draftees) you never know what his speed is actually he is tall with long legs. Look at Moss he ran a 4.2 in the combine he doesn't look nearly that fast on TV or in person. While I dont see Todd at a 4.4 he can't be to far off.

Moss didnt run a 4.2...he ran a 4.25...big difference. I know what you mean, but Moss is and was fast in college...Blythe never was known for speed.

Devin Hester is not a 4.5 40 guy. He may have ran that at the combine once, but he has been timed in the mid 4.2s.

have you ever got caught outside In a strong rainfall? Yes or NO. If it"s yes, then you might half felt the pane of hard(tought) rain on you head. If it hurt"s then it"s tough. Yes or no. Okay I'm right and you know it.
So alothough you attempt"ed to say you didn"t understnad, now you do. Fair enough?

But IMO, I think he needs to get a lot tougher to be even close to McCaffrey.
And I hope Todd reads this and proves me wrong. And does it while playing with a star on his helmet. :) I don't know this for sure, but I would imagine McCaffrey wasn't as thick out of college and added some muscle to his frame over his NFL career. If Blythe puts in the work he will add mass and have a good chance at being a great receiver in the league.

Blythe was listed at 215 lbs for his senior year. I remeber a day when that was huge for a WR. I still think its pretty big he just looks thin because its spread over a 6'5" frame. Im sure it still feels like 215lbs when you hit him.

Devin Hester doesnt need to run a 4.16 40, the guy has hips underneath him, he is shifty, he is quick laterally. and elusive. thats all it takes. Some of you guys might have forgotten the times that Blythe could get behind defenses, TAMU 05, Nebraska 04, CU 07, Blythe has shown he has the speed to beat guys deep, we just couldnt look for him every time in 06 and 07 because people KNEW it was coming 04 and 05 Todd was under the radar for most of the time. it is awkward to see a 6'5 210 pounder run fast, you dont know what fast looks like in Tall people sometimes because you are use to seeing the fast guys be short leg and alot of body motion, Todds stride after his start gets him a long ways. He has been working to perfect the start to get faster is what he told me, Think about it, 6'5 from a dead stop, thats alot of leg to get moving. He will get it, he loves the doubters.

Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other." | |

Matt jones was an Arkansas quarterback that was taken in the first round by Jacksonville as a receiver, since he was a great athlete. He has turned out ok, but definitely not 1st round worthy.

Dolphins could use him. The Raiders. The 49ers.
