NUance Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Here's one that I laughed pretty hard at: Tyrann Mathieu - 4 reps on bench He thought they said he'd being doing Hits, not Reps. So Honeybadger been practicing a different activity. 2 Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Priority free agent probably, unless he has a great pro day or a certain team falls in love with his film AND.... Cue Big 10 Championship game film. Quote Link to comment

The guy does have a nose for the ball. Or at least he did two years ago. Quote Link to comment
iowahuskers Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think they honey badger will be a steal in the NFL. I think he is a great football player, he just needs to find a team that will draft him. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Stafford today ran one of the slowest 40-yard dashes of all Safeties at the combine at 4.69 Also had the worst vertical at 30.5 inches. 2 and a half inches less than the next highest vertical. And the worst broad jump at 111 inches. 6 inches less than the next best. On the other hand, he had one of the better bench performances - 21 reps. I guess I expected him to be faster and more explosive. These are some pretty poor numbers, and I'd say there's not much of a chance of him getting drafted. Not trying to run down the guys but I bet PJ Smith would have similarly low numbers. Our safeties just were not very athletic. Hopefully that will improve - and quickly. Quote Link to comment

So Honeybadger been practicing a different activity. Honey Badger wont amount to much in the NFL I agree, this guy looks like a project that has the give a damn busted and character problems. If I were a team I would not risk Millions on him, I think being a very late round pick (if any) is what he is worth at this time. Some team may get lucky but I go with past performance being an indicator of future performance. Not sure how 4 reps stacks up against others but perhaps it indicates a lack of focus and discipline.

teachercd Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Two dorkiest things that happen each year because of the combine. 1. The "I know lots about working out" guy that starts posting 2. The "Wow, he only ran a 4.68, I beat him by .2 when I ran mine" posting guy Quote Link to comment

In my opinion he was a good special teams player, but a very average corner. he got whipped up and down the field all game long against Alabama. plus being out for a year and not playing is going to make it very hard for him to get back into the swing of the game, especially since the NFL game speed is so fast Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Stafford has a better shot of playing LB in the NFL rather than a safety. Compare his numbers at the combine alongside the LBs. He did pretty well. Maybe that is what he is aiming for in the NFL, rather than safety. David is doing alright in the NFL, why can't Stafford? Quote Link to comment

As someone mentioned, that game won't help his chances. Quote Link to comment

I have hope because the blowouts performances this year may have been caused by a very slow defense that will be much faster next year. I have fear because if Bo had faster players on the bench why didn't they play? I fear the fast players may be on the bench again next year. Quote Link to comment

It seems we lacked speed at LB but had an abundance of DBs with size and speed. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Former Huskers try to impress on 'suit and tie' day18 hours ago • By BRIAN CHRISTOPHERSON / Lincoln Journal star And when it came to position drills -- the only other drill Burkhead did Thursday -- he looked quick on the familiar Hawks Championship Center practice surface, displaying good hands as scouts worked him out as a slot receiver and punt returner. "I definitely did what I wanted to do,” Burkhead said. Burkhead was having such a good time he had to fight the urge to participate in other drills, even though he posted high marks in those drills at the combine. LINK Nice little LJS article about pro day and the combine. I like that pic of Rex. Dude got some guns. Quote Link to comment
