4.70
Yikes. That's not going to get it done for him
Not going to help either one. Spruce will be hurt less since he wasn't looked at as a speed guy coming in.
Higgins is a guy who was looked at as a big play guy, that time isn't going to help that image. Spruce was looked at as a guy who would run a perfect route and catch the ball. His time won't excite anyone but is fast enough to do what he does in the league.

Yeah too bad he couldn't borrow Crawley's legs today and lend him his hands on Monday.
Spruces 2nd run is 4.70. He is just not fast running in a straight line.
His film is what will get him drafted, but he is definitely a 4th-5th rounder, at best.

Second run same time. Most of the WR times have been slow this group at least.
4.70 again

beware the habu
Hopefully he can improve the time a bit at his pro day.
Jerry Rice didn't run a fast 40, I doubt it was a 4.7 though. I thought he'd run better than that. I ran a faster, laser timed 40, as a freshman in high school. Maybe just a bad day. It's not the end all be all.
Not comparing him as a player, don't be a dick.
4.71
When was that?
He'll still have his pro day too so he can run again. Rice a 4.71? Damn, dude never hardly got caught from behind.
Late 90s why? Who really cares, Rice was a little better than me.
Some guys just have a knack for making plays and are productive despite having measurables that leave something to be desired. You aren´t as productive as he was in the Pac 12 by accident. Look at a guy like Danny Woodhead, who´s carved out a niche for himself despite being undersized. Some guys are just productive, make plays and get it done although they´re not as athletic as you´d ideally like them to be.
This could have gone in a few different threads:http://www.stack.com/a/dear-high-sc...Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Promo
Laser Finish was available in the 90s. But still used hand start, so times were better.
Combine uses "electronic start". This has been used at the combine only for 5 or so years. It produces slower times as compared to " laser finish", which may not be too trustworthy either.
Fourth round seems pretty ambitious for him methinks.
Interesting take from Bill Walsh about forty times, especially back in the mid eighties:http://www.sportsxchange.com/ds97/walsh/walsh3.htm
They said that, pending agility drills, Higgins is on pace to test in the 4th percentile. Ouch.
Umm you wore this by your thigh, it wasn't hand started. It doesn't matter, this is about Nelson.
