Nicks was the second largest player at 341 lbs. For Purify's size, 4.53 is a damn good time.

Sounds like Nick's stood out a little:

Carl Nicks, OT, Nebraska: Nicks displayed his athletic side, running his 40's in the low 5.10 second range after completing 31 reps on the bench. He also looked very solid during the drill session showing solid footwork and movement skills.

he is probably the player that i worry about losing the most. he was very good on the oline, hopefully these other guys are ready to step in.

 
Mo looked good from what I saw on NFL network

two drops, but when he did well he looked really good.

Also was rocking some awesome goggles.

 
After updating it was a little surprising to see that Octavien ran a 4.67. I was thinking low 4.6 or maybe breaking under 4.6, but after seeing the other Big 12 LB's times I'm not too worried about it. I thought ISU's Bowen was surely at least a 4.6 guy and he ended up running a 4.89??? Only 15 reps too. I always thought he played a lot faster than that. The 40 times once guys get to the combine always puzzle me. They are never what you think at certain positions. I actually think that players can play faster on the field rather than what their 40 shows.

i believe octos 40 time was actually 8th fastest among linebackers, not too bad really.

Yeah...that makes it a bit better for him. It seems like Linebacker 40's are down this year some.

 
Does anyone ever wonder how everyone coming out of hs runs a 4.4 or 4.5 on Rivals. Then when they are tested in the combine, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7's are the norm?

 
Different track?

People who run at college pro days also record faster numbers usually, I think, because of the faster track.

Also, with HS kids, these are all very unofficial times...even at the pro level, unofficial tends to be faster than official. There's probably a lot of fudging going on...

 
Anybody else hear about that Eastern Carolina University RB that ran a 4.24 40? His name slips me but the stat just blew me away. Especially with Mike Hart the once-potential heisman running a 4.67 40. <_< Anyways, I hope that is the kind of speed Pelini is trying to recruit to NU. Speed Kills. :horns2

Rivals always seems to have inflated numbers to sell subscriptions.

After further review, Mo's 40 time on rivals when he was recruited was 4.45 and Octaviens was 4.5.

 
Limas Sweed did a lot for his stock

I think we'll see a fair amount of 'skers do things, there is more talent here than was shown on the field.
