Warrior10 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 VV just tweeted that caveman ran a 4.51 Wow! Woulda beat all Dline men at the combine by .6! Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 @swmckewonOWH Big Pro Day for Will Compton. 4.54 40 32 inch vert and 24 reps on bench. Teams told him he helped himself a lot. @danhoppen Most bench reps (225 lbs) at NU pro day: Choi-33, Mike Caputo-35, Compton-24, Reed-19 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Brett Maher another good day. He was 10 of 10. Was 14 of 15 at combine Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Kyler Reed had a 41-inch vertical. Said his 40 was in the 4.4s. Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Compton was really happy with his day. Said his 40 was at 4.54. @Sean_Callahan Kyler Reed ran in the 4.4's, jumped a 41 inch vertical and did 10-7 in the broad jump. 1 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Compton woulda placed 3rd at combine with that time....Reed woulda been 1st Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Wow, go Caputo. And I realize that these 40s are run on a fast track and so can't really be compared to the combine times....but Kyler Reed is some kind of athlete. It is such a shame we couldn't find a way to feature him more. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Some more info from the local beat writers: Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Burkhead said he was times in the 4.5s today. He looked good in position drills too. Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Just the eye test here but I thought Rex had himself one really good day. He was beaming when talking to reporters. Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC P.J. Smith was blunt: Not a good day for him, he said. Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC Judging by reactions, numbers and watching it: Burkhead, Compton and Maher did themselves the biggest favors today. Rich Kaipust @RKaipustOWH Some notes from Nebraska pro day. I-back Rex Burkhead concentrated on improving 40 time and thinks he did with runs in the 4.5s Rich Kaipust @RKaipustOWH Burkhead last one done, also catching some kicks and working as a slot receiver for scouts. "I definitely did what I wanted to do" @Sean_Callahan Rex Burkhead said he was pretty happy running in the 4.5's today. That was the only test he did at pro day. Rich Kaipust @RKaipustOWH NU safety Daimion Stafford said he was too heavy at NFL Combine at 221 lbs. Worked out at 211 and said his 40 was in 4.5s. Rich Kaipust @RKaipustOWH Former NU center Mike Caputo gave it another go. Wowed those watching with 35 reps on the bench press. Seung Hoon Choi did 32. Dan Hoppen @danhoppen Compton on talking with scouts at Pro Day: "I got a bunch of great feedback today. I’m really flattered and humbled." Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH Burkhead, IMO, looked good. Fast. Lean. Light on his feet in catching drills Grant Muessel @GrantMuessel At #Huskers pro day I was most impressed with Burkhead, Daimion Stafford and E. Martin. Stafford looked fluid and really helped his 40 (4.5) Grant Muessel @GrantMuessel Eric Martin looked fast, but measured in just over 6 feet. Bengals asst. LB coach worked him and Compton; who did 1-on-1 meeting with him Grant Muessel @GrantMuessel Burkhead looked most impressive in the pass-catching drills. Kyler Reed looked like he may have rolled an ankle. Grant Muessel @GrantMuessel Two Steelers scouts were there to see defensive backs. They spent a good amount of time drilling and talking with Stafford/P.J. Smith Grant Muessel @GrantMuessel Teams that sent scouts to #Huskers pro day: Chiefs, Eagles, Bengals, Raiders, Saints, Packers, Falcons and Steelers. (That I saw) Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Around 15 to 17 pro teams were attendance today for Pro Day. Two years ago all 32 were here and 26 were here in 2010. Low turnout this year. Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan Last year there were 15 teams in attendance at Pro Day. Gives you some perspective of the NFL talent in 2009 & 2010 vs. 2011 & 2012 at NU. And from Mr. William Compton hisownself: Will Compton @_willcompton Vert: 32 Broad: 9'2" 40: 4.54 Pro: 4.12 3-cone: 6.86 60 shuttle: 11.35 Thank u so much everyone!! I'm so ecstatic! 2 Quote Link to comment

whateveritis1224 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Reed probably tested his way into a draft pick. I'm not so surprised about the 4.4, but the 41" vertical is crazy. With the way that teams are using 2 TEs, he's definitely going to be picked up by someone. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Reed probably tested his way into a draft pick. I'm not so surprised about the 4.4, but the 41" vertical is crazy. With the way that teams are using 2 TEs, he's definitely going to be picked up by someone. Especially in the slot. He should be a late round pick. Really needs to work on his blocking though. That is his trouble spot. Choi with 32 reps is impressive for a former walk-on. Hope he pushed himself into a late round pick. Was surprised to see Caputo there. Was hoping Martin would have a better day, 20 reps on the bench, I was hoping for mid or high 20's. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Kyler Reed ran a 4.42! I knew he was quick for a TE, but not THAT quick! I hope he helped himself. He is one player I think that can play at the next level. Quote Link to comment
Husker from Kansas Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think Reed projects very well into a slot wr, I would love KC to pick him up in the later rounds, that would be awesome 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNationNick Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think Reed projects very well into a slot wr, I would love KC to pick him up in the later rounds, that would be awesome Agreed. I don't think he has the size to play TE, like Cotton, but he has great hands, speed and field vision. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Reed was the most under utilized piece of our offense last season. Obviously our WRs and RBs performed exceptionally and he kind of got left out of the fun. Reed definitely has the physical tools to excel in the NFL Quote Link to comment
