I had a convo with Todd Blythe yesterday when he got back (from training), He is running a 4.4 and expects to be a decent pick. will be interesting to see how our three boys fair, they have all been working extremly hard.
If no NFL for Blythe, Law School

I'd certainly love to see him drafted, I just think he has an outside shot at being picked up. If anything 6th/7th round. If he came in the first 3 rounds - I'd be shocked and very happy for him.

That's pretty impressive speed. I never thought he looked that quick. Maybe his size makes him look deceptively slow. Best of luck to him. I really enjoyed watching him for 4 years.

Also, if he somehow doesnt make out in the NFL, he is going law school. Which i thought was interesting

Yeah, you guys are right, second round is wishful thinking from me. I really think he could be an Ed McCaffrey type receiver, tall and tough with good hands and good straight ahead speed but not necessarily overly quick with cutting and route running.

If scouts take any stock into that run, he will be a 1st day pick. 6'5" and runs a 4.4?!?! i don't think he's THAT fast, but he's good enough.

Wait...I thought the combine was from the 20th to the 26th this year, or is it a different combine?

I love Todd, don't get me wrong.
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. :)

Most likely a different one? I see NFL Network advertising it for the 20th.

If he's running a 4.4 40 he'll be drafted for sure, and probably first day.

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?

Any indication of the 2nd decimal place? A 4.40 probably puts him in the top third of combine WR's for speed. A 4.49 would be in the bottom third. Height at 6'5" helps offset any potential speed concerns. 2007 NFL Combine Results | | | |
