It would seem that Jahvid might be fully recovered now, but the herniated disc kept him out of the Poinsettia Bowl and the last few games post-concussion.

Unsurprisingly Gerhart isn’t listed among top performers.

the media was tooting Spiller’s flute fir a while. Jahvid reminds everyone he was faster in high school and he’s still faster. sha-wing!

DJax was 4.36 at his combine (you could hardly tell the difference with the naked eye if they lined up side by side)
Spiller looked better off the start, but it looked like Jahvid had a better cruise speed.
I still think DJax is a little better at the 40, but Jahvid could’ve been Olympic-class if he concentrated solely in the 100m.
That said, Jahvid was 20-30 pounds heavier than DJax for his run.

Don Beebe had the fastest time I believe at 4.21. Chris Johnson was 4.22. Diff combines so you can’t really compare Jahvid’s 4.35 to Beebe or Johnson.

Outside of football, I think Asafa Powell has the fastest 40 (better than Bolt, who has the best top speed, obviously). He’s been known to be the strongest starter of the world-class sprinters.

Yeah see discussion on Yahoo! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080820113402AAXfPNV The mechanics of 100m and 40yd dash are so diff it’s impossible to compare imo.
How’s your recovery going? Hope things are well.

I don’t think it would surprise anyone if every team doctor put a red flag on Jahvid, given that he herniated a disc from the leap and crash. Sucks. He’ll still get money in the early 2nd round (crosses fingers) and will make some great HL reel plays as a rookie. He could have the same year as Percy Harvin. It was amazing how much bigger he looked with his pads off. I would’ve thought he was 5’8.5" and 185 lb. He measured 5’10.125" and 199….!!!!

jahvid body looked alot more well built then spillers did
i think with jahvids 40 and the knocks on dwyer best may get picked by san diego at 28th
by 4Ever Golden on Feb 28, 2010 4:15 PM PST up reply actions

although I would hate rooting for San Diego

Jahvid's a legit 5'10
i remember seeing him on campus last fall, and he definitely looked 5-10 to me … and solid, but not as beastmode as he looked at the combine
anyone have a video of the running backs simulcast? Showed Jahvid closing on spiller
Apparently the simulcast shows that best was way behind the other rb’s after the start, but after the 10 yard mark he makes huge gains on everyone including spiller. If anyone could post a link or the actual video I would be thankful!

jahvid would kill in the 100 still
if u watch that vid he woulda killed them in the 100 spiller woulda lost by about 1.0 second or more if he hits second gear and passes at 40 yards

I saw Blount run after Best, and the first thing I thought was “punch buggy green!”

But it’ll make his jersey more expensive! You want a Desean like deal, where his jersey comes cheap early and then attains huge value in the years to come.

Do used jerseys increase in value over time?

jahvid's second gear
is probably second to none – which is why he almost never gets caught from behind (if at all)
Ugh. Take off that red shirt (that he’s contractually obligated to wear?)

Looks like all the wide outs, QB's, and RB's are wearing read

Jahvid’s the 2nd RB they show doing drills.
anyone know why Spiller sucked in the 3-cone drill?*
*Can’t believe I’m asking this.

I thought he chose to only participate in the 40 today? he plans in running the other drills at his pro day

Yeah
If what I saw was the 3-cone-drill, Spiller didn’t participate. He ran his 40 and put on a black sweater to sit out the rest of the events.
nvm
That wasn’t it; regardless, it looks like Spiller sat out for the rest of the day.
I don’t know how much this helps him, honestly. Everyone knows he’s silly fast. But I think he need close to a Chris Johnson level of silly fast to combat concerns over his durability, and he didn’t get there. If anything it might help Spiller some, since there is not nearly as great a separation between them on the track as you might assume from highlights.
Hopefully the fact that Jahvid came in at a legit 200 (well 199) and positive medical tests help his stock and get him back in the first round, but on the face I don’t think things have changed that much.
How fast does Chris Johnson run the 40?
Best slipped up at the start of his 40 and surged to beat Spiller; I’m wondering if he could’ve run a sub-4.3 40 if given a third shot.
nice
to see mariucci giving the bay area guys some love.
I kinda feel like Mooch shafted him a little.
“blah blah concussion blah blah blah” All of a sudden now that the NFL has decided to pay attention to head injuries, they’re gonna treat everyone like a pariah who’s had one? I know you need to be careful with guys, and I’m all for that, I am. On the other hand, you’ve got to give him the same respect that everyone who’s come before him has had. He had one concussion his entire college career – plenty of people have had multiple in their college career, and it didn’t hurt their draft status. I know we need to protect people, but let’s still give them their due.

i think
best had two (back to back no?).
i didn’t see all of the mooch clips but i remember him talking up alualu at the senior bowl and best earlier.
NFL.com’s combine results have him at 4.43….
Maybe 4.24 was unofficial (I saw a report that Spiller ran a 4.28 or something similar unofficially)?
