I expect nothing of interest to come out of the combine.

Fastest WR times in combine history. Like 2 of these guys are even any good. Moss and Fuller. Guess speed is overrated in WR. Velus Jones makes the list.

All in all not a terrible outcome. I was afraid he’d be sub 5’10 185.

Anthony Richardson crushing it this week at the combine. Not sure how he threw yet. But this guy has definitely helped his draft stock.

Hard to say how these QB showings help/hurt the Bears, but would have to think it’s making it easier for a GM to “fall in love” with his guy, e.g Mitch Trubisky, Trey Lance.

Hope the Bears can get one of these guys 4th round or so.

Was really intrigued by this guy. He’s huge 6’6.5/264 supposedly an excellent blocker and I wanna say his 40 was high 4.5 low 4.6. 2nd best TE for Georgia. Which is probably good enough to start almost anywhere else.

I already posted here that Levis will be a better NFL QB than Bryce Young, provided Levis doesn't get injured immediately or end up on some idiotic team like the Texans.

Temp0 has fantasies about the Alabama QB room, though. All those Super Bowl rings. All those NFL wins. All those TDs and yards in meaningful situations.

I have no idea where this “ALABAMA QB ROOM” meme started with you. But then for some strange reason you call me a Kentucky fan, which couldn’t be further from the truth. So I guess that checks out.

Because I used to post regularly on PHOG, the Scout forum. Instead of insulting them I went there to talk basketball and usually tried to make nice. And I didn’t badmouth Self, which I guess made me a “KU fan.” Which couldn’t be further from the truth. I still liked Self, though. I enjoyed Self’s Bucknell and Bradley meltdowns greatly. But by the time he got to the title game I was rooting for KU with great might in the title game against Memphis. Just to stick it to Weber lovers. My best friend and I had tickets to the title game, but got drunk on Patron instead. I watched the overtime from the piano bar in the bar my buddy owns. Great night.
