Every Wide Receiver's 40 Yard Dash!

now we're going to get rolling starting with this very first one with Baker Central Florida all right first 40 of a receiver 454 okay for the wide outs I can give you the uh give us the num the numbers you're trying to numbers we're shaking uh looking for here when you look at receiving top 10 guys last year the average was 447 okay there are Ryan poles and matd bro of the Chicago Bears and look who's joining us now in our booth what's up dude none other than Kevin oconnell the coach of the Minn

esota Vikings good to see you how you doing I'm doing great what's going on guys I don't know we're just hanging out yeah how about you was Sam a solo Runner right there only one guy do you remember what you ran by the way what you do I think it was was you ran fast I think it was 462 461 they told me unofficially 4 five7 yeah broke my heart when that six number came out cuz I thought I was uh I just wanted to be in the fives and uh didn't do it so did you see Brady's running faster now did you

see that one you see that that's unbelievable is it legit what do you mean is it legit can do a lot of things I've seen I've seen what you guys can do with technology are you are you saying it's AI 12 instead of the tb12 system I would not put it past him one bit I I saw the I mean wearing sneakers tur field okay beating his time I put a pair of cleats on him he probably probably breaks the fives okay what are you talking about I like it that's a way to come out of the gate here that's the way t

o come out of the gate K here at the combine there's Jaylen Coker all right let's see it okay let's let's just flat out get into it I didn't even know yeah here it is see kind of looks good don't you think I mean he opened up that stride I don't know about the 10 time but the 40 definitely better I think that pliability helped him once he got about the 20 yard line and started to open it up you I'm I'm dead serious I wouldn't put it past him one bit unbelievable he is something else would you be

faster now no definitely not huh he ran the low four sixes no I wouldn't I I was talking to some of our guys in our box the other day they said could I break five and I do think I could do that okay 497 there you go would be my call what's been standing out to you so far over the first couple days here at this combine you know I I we we had some unbelievable interviews great process with guys on both sides of the ball and then getting to see them work out getting I thought the DBS were great um

yesterday you know kicked it off with those Big Fellas on the defensive side the first day um it's been been really good man I'm I'm looking forward to seeing this group throw it and catch it around the guys that are going to be working out big fellow there from Florida Florida State yeah that was going to be that was going to be the question on him was just a pure speak but the uh the catch radius ability to go up and get it that's kind of his deal so then let's try and um make this a little b

it uh I guess relatable for for fans out there what did you see out of Jordan Addison at last year's combine in these sorts of drills that made you go okay let's put him on our draft board here yeah he uh you know he he jumped out because how he operated every time we saw him throughout the whole process fit with his tape you know you saw exactly the type of separator you saw what he was all about um we actually didn't uh formal interview him last year at line yeah which which surprised me cuz I

felt like at the end of the process we knew him so well but we did host him on a 30 visit at our facility he did you know was unbelievable coming in spending the whole day with them which I prefer more time with these guys than just the 15 minutes if you can um but even watching his interactions with the guys out on the field um not sure I can't remember all what he did um working out that day cuz uh you know I know he was working through um some stuff that kind of ended his season early but um

I'll tell you what a year later couldn't imagine drafting anybody else what a player to add to our team with how the season went you know having having your best receiver and Justin go down for a huge stretch of time and really this guy that we expected to have the year he did but the way he did it stepping in and biggest moments and really becoming our number one rich uh can't say enough about the year he had you mentioned Justin you know I always pay attention when you're talking to the guys

here the players here and and the guy they emulate we talked about pass rushers and Max Crosby came up over and over receiver Justin is is that guy just seeing it every day what is it that makes him so special well first and foremost it's it's the competitor that he is I mean that guy never steps in between the white lines and and doesn't make it a point to try to continue you know elevating himself towards the goal being the best to ever do it it he wants to go down um you know as one of the gu

ys that they'll talk about forever and ever in this game and uh he's certainly talented enough he works at it unbelievable presence in our building um he's you know it it would it's not a shock for me to say out there that he's one of my favorite players I've ever coached but it's not just the talent it's not just the the UN unbelievable playmaking um it's what he means to our organization uh he's turned First Time Captain last year which meant a bunch to him voted by his teammates and he's goin

g to build on this uh this past year and and and get ready to have a great offseason here comes the quarterback question go ahead Rich me come on I can just see it in your eye me too I I didn't have to look no he's got to go back and he's got to evaluate these guys and I'd like to use my one Kirk Cousins question if I may I told you you can have one well here it come make it a good one rich all right uh where do things stand in your conversations with Kirk with the new league year year coming up

in uh in about 10 days yeah I think uh you know the combine just kind of gave everybody else an opportunity even whether they're supposed to be or not um to to maybe have some conversations but I've been having kind of the the dialogue that that that you have with a player like Kirk Cousins the relationship we've built up over a long period of time um I know Kirk you know where he's at in his whole process he's he's earned the right to be a free agent and you know he's played really good footba

ll I think he's I think he's uh you know 18 and seven whatever his record is since since I arrived in uh in Minnesota coaching him and I've had a blast coaching him has fit in our offense where we've kind of taken our version of the offense to um with guys like Jordan and and Justin and TJ um I know Kirk's going to go through a full process he's a processed guy and uh you know hopefully we continue to be a strong part in that process and and we figure out a way to keep a a Minnesota Viking but m

y expectations is we're not going to be the only ones that would like K cousins to be our the quarterback of our team in in 2024 thank you for not only coming into the booth but just you know being here at the combine I mean so many coaches are just not even physically here so we have actually come up with a gift for you to actually be at the combine it's it's R did we really just put it in a plastic bag that's a laptop cover there on skin should I open it up I would love to see what it is I'm a

little concerned right now no don't be concerned well the presentation is it's lacking but we didn't have any tissue paper here he goes what do we have here let's see we've got the Hat okay and you know what this is awesome what are we talking about this is phenomenal what size did you guys go with that was we went small extra medium that was for that was for McVey but he wasn't there sizewise so Sean would sea would absolutely tell you right now he would not fit in that but uh you know I think

there I think there's a coach two or three boxes down that you guys keep putting on television that I oh wow Mike McDaniel you've been called out no no I nobody nobody loves Mike more than me I understood I think we should I think we should throw him back on the TV one more time there we go there he is there he is hold on hold it up hold up the shirt see let's see if we can hold it up Mike this is he thinks this is going to be your size that's for you that's for him right there cuz he's here I

might go hand deliver there you go thanks for coming aome no appreciate it guys you man coach Kevin oconnell the Minnesota Vikings Xavier Legette he can run big and fast 447 all right now the number to beat is Christian McCaffrey's 448 and Luke oh yeah bragging rights oh yeah well they're not official yet the bragging rights aren't official yet lad makoni he is fun to watch he's an outstanding route Runner shows he's got a little top speed to go along with it wow jayen McMillan of Washington Ste

llar group of receivers coming from the Pacific Northwest of the combine 449 Trio of huskies here running but MB means can go and he goes to the tune of 449 and we're back live now here with Adonai Mitchell both these Texas wide receivers can really really run he's the power forward version he was boy did he put the scare in Washington towards the end of that college football playoff game right he hung up in the air for about 10 seconds on the touchdown he in that game and he is the fastest rece

iver at present at 435 look who's joining us right now in the booth two time h as you call him our friend pumo right here a Pro Football Hall of Famer my my buddy what's up guys What's happen Warner always good to get on your guys' tur for uh for a day anyways here it's uh appreciate coming off the the streaming broadcast for the moment to come on up here you got it I'm excited about that as well Alan Robinson joining us me and Irv and Steve Smith so it is it's going to be fun I haven't seen Irv

yet uh is he wearing uh one size too small to show off how swoll he is I haven't seen him yet either so we start in probably 30 minutes so 29 minutes from now is probably when we'll get that first glimpse of him and and I'm sure the I'm sure it's a medium there's no doubt all right no doubt Javon Baker of Central Florida running his second 40 trying to beat his time of 454 and he'll stick with that first round and all these guys can run can't they I know remember I used to be like you'd see so

many 4 sixes and guys getting a low 45s and occasionally a four like mid four four now it's unbelievable where we are unbelievable so what's your impression of the quarterback group now that you've grinded as much tape as you've probably grinded over the last couple weeks huh yeah um you know I mean obviously I think it's a good class you know there's lots of different guys different skill sets U going to be fun to watch how they progress I think Daniel can tell you as well I always have a hard

time watching these college offenses and try to figure out how it's going to translate so I'll watch one tape of these guys and I'm like man this guy looks really good and then I watch the next tape and I'm like I can't tell anything from this particular tap but um but but you know I mean you got Caleb Williams at the top who you know we all know the skill set is there there's some games that just pop off and you're like okay you put that skill set with him playing the game and and you're really

excited about it Jaden Daniels there's been there was a couple games on tape that you're just like could he have played any better football than he did you know a smaller sample size Drake may I know a lot of talk about Drake May uh you see all the skill set there uh to me there's some inconsistencies there and you you always ask that question why okay why is it why are we missing these throws but I'm just excited because there's a lot of guys that are in different places that do different thin

gs well and I think that's the fun thing about the combine and the draft is so much comes down to what are we looking for you know what what's that guy your guy over at Michigan right never really had to carry the team does a lot more Pro stuff than some of these other college teams do so you get to see some of the stuff that may translate so I'm interested I know there's a lot of Buzz about him so where is he going to end up so I think it's a a FAS class when you look at them top to bottom uh a

nd then we get to see where they're going to end up in April I'm curious where you're on this one Kurt because this is something that's the most challenging thing to me when you're evaluating these quarterbacks is the job if you're a general manager or decision maker is not to evaluate necessarily just the performance but there's the projection right of what you see and that's where it becomes so difficult because you go man this guy clearly had a better season he put up better numbers he quote

unquote played better but then I also have to project what does this look like when we get to Sundays exactly and that's why you do what you do and I do what I do I analyze games that that happen on Sunday and not try to project because I don't know how you do it it's it's darn near impossible especially when you don't know what environment they're going to walk into right and so when I watch tape for me the one thing that I believe can always transfer is the ability to process in other words I

look at a play and go okay how would you read this play and you know to see that play out and see the coverages and when you can a guy do those things consistently that's where I say okay I I believe that can at least translate to some level um the athleticism part I don't know we even had the conversation like you see some guys that are so athletic in college and you say Okay can it look the same at the NFL level against these better players are they that Dynamic athletically or not and so then

it has to always again fall back too and you know I've said this for years that I still believe this game is won inside the pocket so that's how I watch tape that's the one thing that I believe I have at least an idea of how to project but it is it's very very difficult for me to know what these guys can be at the next level and obviously why you know the the success rate when you draft these guys is about 50/50 cuz I don't think anybody really knows Jacob coing of Arizona just ran a sub 4440 r

ight there 438 that's as close as anybody's gotten to at an i Mitchell um I'm being told you're you now need to go back down on the turf I got to go watch these guys I didn't know if they need to down there for the broadcast we go find Irv one of the one of the two I have to do both here probably one of the two yeah probably both it's a team effort it's a team effort so here is Ryan floi good run of southern Missouri State that's a red hawk up on the screen another great 44 Anthony gold and the

Beaver two great times one Big Time return nice job in east west shrine game I think took a punt back for a touchdown in that game Patric Griffin AKA Tulu 444 Tulu Griffin with a 444 jquan Jackson I thought he'd you know 4 five4 I thought he had a little more in him there you go that's more like it that's a big split 4 42 wow that is quite different for the two Green Wave Xavier Legette yeah that's more like it with him too 439 see what Luke mcaffrey does one/ 100th of his second better than his

brother than the first run they'll stick with that the whole family can run well I mean the official time is going to be big yeah with a 448 on the board for Christian lad makoni yeah he he is fun four FL was talking to one of the teams today and they said we're talking about makoni said I think he'll go middle I think he'll go early to Middle second round but God forbid the Chiefs take him at 32 right Jaylen McMillan final runs here for the first group of receivers is a better run for McMillan

we'll see ad dun coming up in the next group as well as pulk all three of those Washington receivers here's bub means Antonio Pierce and I believe this may be the last 40 here ad I Mitchell's going to sit on the four what does he have a 43 five yeah bub means he is strong dude tracks the ball really well can high point it changes gears once the ball is in his hands changed gears right for three and indeed Adonai will rest cuz it is the [Laughter] Sabbath off he goes running easy a 447 he can he

can run even faster than that too I think he can have a little bit of a smoother start but he can play any of the receiver positions this was the comparison I I don't make that Willie neilly here this is a this is what he reminded me of watching Larry fitzel come out of pit now he's cut weight to 212 but he walks around closer to 220 so size-wise they are very similar and speed wise and look at the the numbers it's it's Eerie when that stuff matches up like that goodness gracious what a comp ri

ght there riy piol 441 all right so the first two 40s of this wide receiver group certainly looking good piol is my 48th player I feel like almost every other guy that runs is you're going to say he's in the top 50 for me I mean I this receiver class is awesome well had Malik neighbors worked out here he would have been right in front of adun they would have been alphabetically next to each other we get to his pro day he'll run in the 43 he can he can roll and here's I don't want to say the the

the other wide receiver is the third Washington receiver we're seeing here today Jalin pul 43 that's a good number for him okay as if I don't feel old enough here comes the son of Jerry Rice Brendan rice 12 receiving touchdowns this year at USC one of the Prime targets of Caleb Williams and clearly an NFL Legacy he is a physical physical player it's a different style than his father the way he plays he's much more Brute Force you had that little Flinch man you froze but you had that Flinch me so

meone might throw some else I'm sorry about that his GPS stuff is awesome that flin I'm hagger some guys may at least we see things now you know what I mean he uh the GPS numbers that you get from the uh from the T from the school project that he's going to run really fast off he goes 451 he can run better he can run faster than [Applause] [Music] that just relax he'll relax he'll get a better time in the second go round he draw a lot of pass interference penalties you could see the whistle that

he got from gorsi must have given him a some sort of a look or something gorsy yeah told him apologize saying that there was a twitch reason why he does that cuz somebody might start their watch otherwise trying his best top 20 pick rolling right here in Brian Thomas he's rolling 434 that's rolling that was easy easy 434 and we are rolling a break thrash from Louisville remind me a little bit of Romeo dos when I watched him see him with the Green Bay Packers real Shifty can make you miss hits a

bunch of home runs down the field 454 for Devon Vel this is going to be fast Utah devontez Walker TZ Walker can fly look at him go 436 we all know his story it's good to see him here at a combine and crushing it Malik Washington 447 isah Isaiah Williams from Illinois 464 so Johnny Wilson Johnny Wilson is enormous wide receiver 66 running 453 now we're back live for another Michigan Wolverine one of the best oh here we go Roman Wilson see how fast he can blaze here there's some there's some peop

le expecting the second number to be a two that's what type of speed you're talking about with Roman Wilson we shall see just had his back up here moments ago saw corm earlier he's getting the whistle R Roman Wilson there's Jim Jim pretty much knows there's a cutaway coming 18 at least 18 times during this combine there's six offensive linemen tomorrow six lot of wolverines by the way I just got a text from the general manager of the Super Bowl champs oh no tell Rich I was second in the state in

the 200 in Pennsylvania LOL but I appreciate you having my back I meant now BR I me now I love it when they're the locked into the coverage I love it it's great it's great I'm glad he could hear me over all his lombardis see up to three now Roman Wilson off he goes 441 it's it the start tells you everything yep sure well there's a second run to come what's your your comp here Jaden Reed was who he reminded me of and now you kind of look at the numbers to 40 I thought Ro would be a little bit fa

ster but the same play style and toughness quickness if you're worthy gets the whistle I mean Jaden Reed and all the Packer receivers that are so young you know and that was the conversation in Rogers final season there is how there wasn't much of a chemistry and there weren't a bunch of guys that knew his hand signals or was up to speed or anything like that and obviously a lot of them grew up fast and gacun added some couple t TI ends too and then look at what they look like this year look at

Xavier fly whoa 425 that looked different than everybody we [Applause] watched Round of Applause whoa [Laughter] M yeah that startled me Rich when he ran I got startled I was like whoa there goes that man all right we got radun up right here and while I was talking to guys they were working out with him MH from watching they said want to think for a big guy he's got such quiet feet like you'll stand away from him when he's running routes towards you and you can just it's so easy and so light whe

n he runs so I thought it' be fun as he kind of runs the 40 here if we just kind of listen to him run as worthy celebrating that incredible time second run of radun yeah he stumbled he stumbled on the first one too he stopped again try it again it oh my goodness take them off yeah take [Laughter] them that is awesome come on man JJ McCarthy dapping him up Chicago Bears contingent looking on take the shoes off in Wayne's World we're not worthy literally he got out better it looked like there didn

't stumble this time 445 for radun better run Stacy Rich adun was a media darling this week but one thing people might not know about him he actually grew up working alongside his granddad and his granddad's brother on a dairy farm in Utah he's told me 100 150 cattle they worked with he said I shoveled poop I milk cows I dig ditches he told me the hardest chore was digging ditches and he said it gets real hot there in Utah over 100° so I guess part of his uh toughness comes from those days on th

e farm 442 for Ricky peera Peter you've been talking about him Daniel how he sneak it up into your top 50 piol just did a 10 n broad jump one of the best route runners in this entire class I'm excited for the drills with him I think he's going to put on a show a lot of Executives excited about piols maybe that second tier of wide receivers after the big blue chippers are gone wide receiver in College of the current quarterback here in Indianapolis Anthony Richardson yeah Peter he is he is silky

smooth and his catch we'll show the video later today his catch against Charlotte is the best one of the best catches in the history of college football but for sure is the best catch I saw this year it's incredible pul gets the whistle again moments ago a four 2 five run by Xavier worthy I mean but we have such a and JJ McCarthy was seeing you guys have a great view you watch we watch you know hundreds and over thousands of these 40s that one it like I jumped back it startled me how how fast he

got out he was rolling and then as you pointed out in the 21st century when we first started the combine guys you know would have to wait till get back to the hotel to see it one more time they weren't showing it on the screen they're not having it in their hand with their phone now they know to take the shoes off 4 540 runs essentially Jamie Rich pul known for this Washington offense as a consistent and dependable part of it I spoke with one of their offensive coaches this week he told me he d

idn't have the targets that adun had in this offense but that doesn't mean that two or three of his catches because of his explosive capabilities would go for over a 100 yards he's known within this team as a building junkie and I have confirmed with several of his teammates that he off times would bring his air mattress and sleep in the building and this is not just a training camp thing this is cuz pulk legitimately loved being around the building second run for Brendan rice it's 4 five flat i

t's good nugget on uh on pulk I love that sleeping in the building he is tough and physical and tell you what Steve Smith does a wonderful job for us and in uh evaluating wide receivers obviously he's going to be in the Hall of Fame but when I uh was talking to him about him pulk is one of the guys he's a he's a fan of right next door to us GM of the Colts checking things [Applause] out earning a nice little Round of Applause from the Colts faithful we see you crash 4 48 good time to reset on th

e wide receivers the number that you're looking at for top 10 guys in the League last year and receiving yards they averaged a 447 just wondering because sometimes our unofficial time is a little bit just a hair off yeah I'm wondering if the official time comes in that John Ross's 422 might get threatened I mean it he would be 300s of a second I don't think he's going to run it again you do I'm close to the record I'd take my swing then he wouldn't be listening to his friends he told him to take

his shoes off you tell him it won't take long to lace him back up 448 that's an improved time right there big Improvement the Utah Ute Stacy I just talked to Xavier worthy guess what guys going to do it again he's going to do it again guess why all right all right why he wants the record 422 baby I love it nice well then I wouldn't move if I were you wherever you're watching I like it sense of competition here TZ Walker with a 436 that was a clean start was he got out who and somehow how is tha

t not faster he got out of the gate okay all right Xavier worthy we see you we got Malik Washington getting ready to run here he's a fun one to watch 110 catches this year yeah and the slot he is sturdy and strong a lot of catches and traffic he can adjust was curious to see how fast he was going to be and that's a good number 447 he's rolling well here go that last five yards I guess is caught a little bit Yeah it look like he rolling but we'll take it that's 447 first time we stick with that o

ne Isaiah Williams so we're making our way toward Xavier Worthy worthy of you sticking around bran a 425 and thinks he can do better we're all for it he runs a 46440 DNA match there 464 464 Johnny Wilson 6'6 wide receiver from Florida State that's a big dude man he it's kind of like a huge slot for them I mean it's a different body type Kelvin Benjamin that's exactly we we talk about him yeah even in the Senior Bowl just watching him move around like okay is he eventually made the move to tight

end and we'll see what's in Johnny Wilson's future 458 all right so Roman Wilson's first run at it you could see 66 at 38 he's taller than Darren Waller my goodness Roman Wilson I thought you know he's got faster in him but he's think about this he's 20 pounds heavier than Xavier wor the mhm different little different body types there but you watch him on Michigan tape he is flying some big catches in the final game tying Drive in the Rose Bowl against Alabama all right so a little bit better an

d the Wolverine fans here in Indianapolis the warm smattering okay so if you're just joining us Xavier worthy moments ago ran a 425 and you hear the fans here appreciative of him running again with the unofficial 425 the record is 422 by John Ross and he gets the whistle listen to the crowd the groans they groans wow I've never heard a crowd groan over a whistle yeah Mark took some heat there okay so let's set it up again take your time man you're chasing a record don't rush this thing here an u

nofficial 425 in his first run and he's going to run it again to try and get John Ross's 422 here he goes [Applause] oh keep going he he might he just keep running right out of the stadium the Roar of the crowd that is awesome
