Not sure losing 10 pounds will knock a tenth off your time.
Maybe he should just move to TE since that’s so easyProbably right...he should get to 215 and see if that helps...
Maybe JR knows he’s going to have to play special teams for a few years in order to get some time on a roster, hoping to break through at wideout later on. May be his camp thought he should put on some weight to handle the contact.
He looks like a RB to me right now. Built like Jet.
Thought he was very quick before this year. I thought he did a terrible job getting off the line against press coverage this year though. Maybe that was an adjustment defenses made or he lost a step as he continued to get bigger. Thought he’d run a better time than he did though and expect him to at the pro day. He didn’t get caught from behind by guys that have tested in years past.I think there's a chance he maybe just isn't quite as fast, quick and explosive as everyone thought he was. I don't think the extra weight helps, but it would be a very strange strategy for him to start getting ready for special teams work before the draft. I think he sees himself as a first rounder, those guys don't worry about ST.
To me he always seemed like more a sprinter than a real quick, shifty guy. That would kind of explain the very slow 3-cone time.

He looked really stiff on the first 40 and things went downhill from there. Training and weight gain are part of it but I think much of this is in his head. Not sure he handles adversity well. Seems to shut down when things go south. Was a factor last night and during the season. Definitely a concern going forward.
thought I heard only 4 guys broke 4.4 at the Combine yesterdayI think JR can run faster but the number of guys who are said to "run in the 4.3's" is much, much larger than the number of guys who can actually run an electronically timed 4.3-something forty. These guys are some of the fastest guys in the college game, have been training for this exact drill for over two months, and still a relative few can break 4.4. Anything under 4.5 will allow a guy to do about anything he needs to do on a football field in a game. It's still football, not track. Out of the dozen or so guys that have run sub 4.3, only a couple ended up being really good NFL players.
A 4.47 40 time at the combine is doing absolutely nothing to where he gets drafted. Even if he'd gone out and ran 4.35 I don't think that would've actually done anything to change his draft position because speed is not the question with him.
DK Metcalf says hi
Popsthe question is who the hell was training him for the combine?

Explains why he’s starting to look like a D lineman.Pops
