Pro Days

[DallasSpider]

What noise is coming out of y'alls pro days?

S David Jones ran (now confirmed) a 4.43s and a 4.45s 40, jumped 34" vert, 10'9 broad. The 40 time and broad jump would have both been top 5 at the combine for safeties. Other players participating were LB Omar Howard, WR Brian Brown, DL Winston Craig, and some ex-players.

That would be an impressive 40 for Jones if accurate.

NDSU's isn't for another couple weeks. I have heard LB Beck will participate after passing last year due to injuries.

NFL scouts and coaches might not have immediately recognized Tyler Renew on Tuesday, but South Carolina players did.
“Hey, you're that running back from The Citadel,” Gamecock players said as Renew walked in for USC's pro day.
Renew, a Bulldogs hero from The Citadel's 23-22 win at USC in 2015, joined 15 former Gamecocks as they worked out for scouts and coaches representing 17 NFL teams and one team from the Canadian Football League at South Carolina's football facilities in Columbia.





“It was a lot of fun,” said Renew, who earned All-America honors at The Citadel while rushing for 1,096 yards and four touchdowns last season. “It was an awesome experience, and I was glad to be able to go up there and be in that environment. I'm really pleased with how I did.”
Renew, who has been working hard to add weight while improving speed and strength, measured in at 5 feet, 11½ inches and 231 pounds, about 14 pounds above his playing weight at The Citadel.
That puts him closer in physical stature to NFL fullbacks such as USC graduate Patrick DiMarco (6-1, 243) and Mike Tolbert (5-9, 243).
Renew tested faster in the 40-yard dash than those two; he was timed between 4.57 and 4.64 seconds in the benchmark sprint on Wednesday, compared with DiMarco (4.92) and Tolbert (4.75), a veteran from Coastal Carolina.
Renew also set a personal best with 19 bench-press reps at 225 pounds; posted a time of 4.2 seconds in the shuttle run; and was measured at 32 inches in the vertical jump and 9 feet, 6 inches in the broad jump.

Interesting tid bit about NDSU's pro day, our senior center in BB Dexter Werner will give it a go, he's 6'-6" and 225 currently, played TE in highschool. Will be interesting to see if he gets a camp invite and how he does.

Compared to Combine LBs

Bench - 1st by 5 reps

Vert - 1st by an 1.5"

40 - 2nd behind Peppers (a safety/lb tweener) by .02 seconds

Broad - 4th

20 shuttle - 1st

3 cone - 4th

Wow, pretty crazy numbers.

He always looked like a football player in a basketball uniform to me.

Why do they measure the broad jump?

Could probably say that about a lot of different players across the FCS landscape in recent years. Dude is definitely a stud no doubt, I can understand GodHelps frustration when you get a player like that, SDSU fans were like that most of the year for basketball.

*IDK, probably likes beating up animals.:D

*For anyone that didn't catch the obvious sarcasm, it was sarcasm.

Explosion. I would say it's pretty decent test. Run blocking or bullrushing is pretty similar. Instead of seeing how far you can go in a game you're launching yourself into your opponent. For RBs and LBs it should give you a hint to how fast they can explode to say a hole or the ball carrier.

Anyone can do all the tests, but QBs physical skills aren't nearly as important as other positions. The wonderlic on the other hand is IMO pretty important for QBs but not so much for other positions.

Justin Vogel Punter from Miami had the fastest 40 of the punters. Does that matter? Not really. Maybe he'll get down the field a little faster but they are the safety net that usually can't tackle anyway.

NDSU's pro day:

LB Tucker - 4.65
RB Frazier - 4.70
OL Johnson - 5.31 - Bench 24
OL Lechler - 5.40 - Bench 22
DB McCoy - 4.73
TE Werner - 4.90
DE Ambrosious - 5.05

OL Plankers - Bench 26

LB Beck pulled a muscle on the 40

I expect Renew to get a shot but I don't know if he will make a roster. His official pro day results were 4.68 and 4.72 40, 1.76 10-yard (twice), 2.70 and 2.74 20, 32 VJ, 9'6 BJ, 4.56 short shuttle, 11.87 60, 7.23 3-cone, 8 7/8 hand, 29 1/2 arm, 72 wing, 19 reps at 5111, 231 pounds. He forgot to fill out his agent and contact info, and his social media. That testing is not bad but if he was say 240 pounds that would have helped. I'm told he was only in the 215 range during the season.

Didn't they hold the Pro Day in the Fargo Dome last year? I know last year was a bigger deal but the practice field is kind of lame.

Yes, IIRC it's almost always in the bubble with the exception of last year. Having ESPN and the NFL network there I'm sure had a lot to do with it.

I get that but they should have it in the dome anyway, I don't think it was being used that day.

Being a Springfield native and growing up less than 30 minutes away probably helped
