[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 871878"] As a crude measure of athleticism, I recon we can say an average starting NFL WR would be around 4.50 in the 40, with 35" vertical and a 7.00 3-cone. [Note: Upon review of this post, I get all the nfl.com links routing to the NFL Game Pass page. If a reader has the same problem with those links and wants to challenge this assessment, then look 'em up for your own d*mn self. ;)] Among last seasons 1,000 yard WRs, here are the guys with sub-par or average Combine measureables by that standard: [LIST] [*]Michael Thomas, sub-par [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/michael-thomas?id=2555347[/URL] [*]De'Andre Hopkins, sub-par [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/deandre-hopkins?id=2540165[/URL] [*]Kenny Golladay, around average [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/kenny-golladay?id=2558052[/URL] [*]Jarvis Landry, sub-par [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/jarvis-landry?id=2543488[/URL] [*]Cooper Kupp, sub par [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/cooper-kupp?id=2557898[/URL] [*]Mike Evans, around average [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/mike-evans?id=2543468[/URL] [*]Allen Robinson, sub par [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/allen-robinson?id=2543509[/URL] [*]Robert Woods sub-par [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/robert-woods?id=2540169[/URL] [*]Stefon Diggs, around average [URL]https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/stat/receiving/table/receiving/sort/receivingYards/dir/desc[/URL] [*]Michael Gallup, around average [URL]https://www.nfl.com/prospects/michael-gallup?id=32194741-4c77-9981-95e1-30b1c57c6002[/URL] [*]A.J. Brown, around average [URL]https://www.nfl.com/prospects/a.j.-brown?id=32194252-4f41-3223-e4c5-1e30dffa87f8[/URL] [*]Tyler Boyd, sub-par [URL='http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/tyler-boyd?id=2555466']http:[/URL][URL='http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000793407/article/mike-williams-clocks-official-40-in-45-range-at-pro-day']http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000793407/article/[/URL] [*][COLOR=#000000]Mike Williams, sub-par [URL]http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/mike-williams?id=2557966[/URL] & h[URL='http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000793407/article/mike-williams-clocks-official-40-in-45-range-at-pro-day']ttp://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000793407/article/mike-williams-clocks-official-40-in-45-range-at-pro-day[/URL][/COLOR] [/LIST] So, of the 25 WR with 1,000 yards last season, I count 7 that measure below average (including 2 of the 3 first team All Pros) and 6 that measured around average, about half of those 1,000 yarders. While I would not go so far as some who say the Combine drills don't matter and it's all about the tape, you do get an idea of what those guys are getting at. I find myself leaning that way as the years tick by. [/QUOTE]
