Nebraska Pro Day - March 14th

[BIG ERN]

Everyone posts better numbers at pro day compared to the combine which is why it isn't as important, especially the hand timed 40

Can Tommy Armstrong be a productive NFL wide receiver? Maybe with that speed, 4.6 ain't bad (rounding up with hand time)

No. You would have to compare him to guys who have been playing WR for 4-12 years. He isn't as agile as the few who have converted. Who knows about his catching and route running. Simple as I wouldn't take him over Reilly, Moore, or Westerkamp and that's 3 kids just at Nebraska who weren't invited to the combine

Pryor is 6'4 and runs a 4.4

Edelman is shorter quick guy who also ran a 4.4

Braxton Miller and Denard Robinson ran a 4.4

Matt Jones was 6'6 and a 4.3 - 4.4

I would think Tommy would be a MUCH better running back at the next level. Maybe he could even get some snaps at HBack or TE (off-set off the line).

But WR? Not saying impossible...I just think body type wise he's more suited to RB.

Tommy was performing as a TE, not a WR

Oh my. This would not be pretty to watch. TE? You have to wonder was this his idea?!??

 

[Nebfanatic]

The reason I brought up wide reciever other than that he was working there is I think he is far to small for an NFL TE. I agree Making Chimichangas that RB would be a more ideal position for Tommy. Any way you put it in think he is going to struggle making a roster only because he is a career QB. I think he would have a much better shot had he played another position throughout college

Why would that be so bad?

It isn't. I wish him luck, but I don't see him playing in the NFL at any position

Braxton Miller and Denard Robinson ran a 4.4

Matt Jones was 6'6 and a 4.3 - 4.4

Edelman ran a 4.52 at his pro day. And all of Armstrong's other numbers match up pretty nicely with Edelman.

Bench:

Edelman - 14

Armstrong - 16

Vertical:

Edelman - 36.5

Armstrong - 37.5

Broad Jump:

Edelman - 10'03"

Armstrong - 10'03"

a 4.52 is pretty dang close to a 4.55. From a measurable standpoint that is a very solid comp

Edelman's agility is on a different planet than Armstrong's. Again, he won't play in the NFL

T Mart ran a 4.4, 39 inch vertical and a 10'9'' broad jump --- doesn't always matter

Why would that be so bad?

Guessing because most TEs are taller and have played TE.

T-Mart also couldn't pass a physical

 

[ColoradoHusk]

Have any players been more crapped on during and after their NU careers than Martinez and Armstrong? Maybe I should throw in Eric Crouch.
