NFL Combine 2014.

About where he was expected to run. Justin Gilbert from Okie State ran a 4.35, he's about to get paid.

From what I found Stanley would be T-2 in the vert with Lache Seastrunk. Only one better was Sahzier from OSU who went 42.

Also saw that the NFL combine website has Stanley at 4.43 and not 4.53. Wonder which it is.

 
ESPN article about the Combine:

“It is a tool," Broncos executive vice president of football operations/general manager John Elway said. “It’s useful to have all of these players in one place to see them, meet them, talk to them. But overall, it’s just part of the big picture. Decisions are made by the work the scouts have done all year getting to know these guys, on the road and by what they've done on the field. ... The combine is one of the things you consider."
So, as Jadeveon Clowney, Michael Sam and Johnny Manziel had their workouts beamed coast to coast, there is a perception that a prospect’s draft status can undergo a substantial improvement or decline after what happens in Lucas Oil Stadium. Especially as combine ratings soar and apparel companies such as Under Armour work to outfit the prospects and Adidas drops $100,000 on Oregon State wide receiver Brandin Cooks for his 40-yard dash time posted in its shoes.

But the swing after the combine is far less drastic inside most NFL teams’ draft meetings.

“It’s up to us to rely on all of the information that we’ve gotten over the last 12, 13, 14 months,’’ Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. “If you trust your system and if you trust your scouting staff and you trust basically your budget and everything that you've put into your scouting process, then you shouldn't be swayed by all of the other noise out there or the projections or the prognostications."

The irony in all of the interest in the combine? For the teams, the most important parts of the annual event are still the ones that remain unseen to the outside world: the medical exam and the face-to-face interviews prospects have with team officials.

Of all the things that happen at the combine, the medical exam is likely the most important. Medical staffs from every team get the opportunity to examine all of the prospects invited to the combine, and every prospect is put through a full battery of X-rays.

Stanley should be the most interesting Husker at the combine. But I think Quincy will have the best out of the 3.

Sucks that Quincy pulled a hammy. Stanley had the best by default, but his dimensions is what really showed during the combine. Maybe he will post a better 40 time during Pro Day?
