March 28
(5:00 PM): Jarrett records average time… USC WR Dwayne Jarrett ran his 40s in 4.67 and 4.62 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.20 and the three-cone drill in 7.28. He also had a 36½-inch vertical and a 10-foot-1 broad jump. Jarrett weighed in at 214 lbs. so that 40 time would have to be considered rather average. Those comparisons to former Trojan and current Lions WR Mike Williams will continue to haunt Jarrett as he might have some trouble separating from pro corners. His production doesn't lie though and a team looking for a big possession receiver who can find the endzone will find Jarrett tough to overlook ... Cincinnati CB John Bowie blazed to 40 times of 4.37 and 4.39 at his Pro Day workout. That should grab some team's attention. His teammate, TE Brent Celek, ran a top 40 of 4.79 at 255 lbs. Celek has special teamer written all over him ... Wyoming S John Wendling had a great workout. At 222 lbs, Wendling ran both of his 40s in 4.48 seconds. He also had a 36½-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-4 broad jump. Those numbers are sure to impress. Teammate Chase Johnson, a huge 6-8 328 lb. OT, ran a 5.41 40 and did 14 reps on the bench ... 25 NFL teams were represented at South Carolina's Pro Day, with all eyes looking straight at WR Sidney Rice's workout. Scouts said the conditions were ideal but Rice's agent didn't seem to think so and told Rice not to run. He did do the position drills but not running those 40s is sure not to impress the NFL honchos.… USC WR Dwayne Jarrett ran his 40s in 4.67 and 4.62 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.20 and the three-cone drill in 7.28.

I wonder how far Rice will fall now

I mean teams already had questions about his speed and now he refuses to run.

2nd round? 3rd round?

i dont know about "average time". everyone expected him to run a high 4.7 or even a 4.8. he ran a 4.6 (flat). now a 4.6 in general would be average for a WR..but for jarrett its a pretty good time. very nice broad jump and his short shuttle time was exceptional ("a lot" faster than meachem, rice and bowe). his vertical is also very solid. his 7.28 3-cone drill on the other hand sucks though...still, he had a great workout

No idea how that's considered a great work out. He took 2 months to prepare to run 1 time, worked with every speed coach that he could find and concentrated on nothing but one sprint of 40 yards and still did nothing but prove he will struggled to get seperation from NFL caliber DB's.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(SDOGO @ Mar 28th ) [snapback]1945820[/snapback]</div>oh please. the same guys said that when boldin, marshall and colston left college. and we all know the "experts" were wrong. its just stupid to watch a guy play college football for 2 years, dominate, you give him a 1st round label, then you watch him run a "slow" 4.6 and all of a sudden he cant get the job done in the nfl? i just dont get it.

For every Boldin there is a Mike Williams just as for every Calvin Johnson there is a Troy Williamson. It's not about the 40 and it's not about how someone like Jarrett exposed 110+ defensive backs who will never sniff a down in the NFL. Scouting is projecting how a players skills and numbers project to the NFL, not glorifying their college production.

mike williams wasnt slow or anything like that. thats not the issue. he was just a fat lazy **** who hasnt even played football the year he got drafted. and troy williamson was never considered a great WR prospect. he was more like ted ginn when he came out. he can stretch the field but he didnt catch like 100 passes in a single season or anything like that (not even combined). i think he caught like 30 passes as a junior for about 800 yds

Mike Williams was slow and he was hardly considered lazy. Williamson was considered a good enough prospect to land in the early part of Round 1. My point was the 40 time is only another tool to help project a player to the NFL. If you want to spend a 1st round pick on a situation receiver that's fine but you can land a Brandon Stokley in any round. Jarrett is not a great route runner and he does not have the speed to get seperation. What he does excel at is using his body to shield defenders. Problem is, in the NFL these DB's face bigger and faster WR's every day.



I could care less about 40 time, the only WR I may be more down on then Jarrett is Ginn. I just don't see the skills with either WR that translate to the NFL. Ginn at least provided value in the return game. Ginn will be picked hiher then he should because to many people are in love with 40's but don't be surprised to see Jarrett there late into round 1 or early 2.

40 time doesn't really matter, it's all about the work ethic. If he has a good work ethic he'll get better, if he doesn't he might become BMW 2.

Now I don't know whether he has a good one or not but from what I read it isn't really good, but maybe someone else knows better.
