You have to remember many Doctors red flagged DK Metcalf over his neck injury. A lot of GM's passed on him trusting those Doctors. I heard over half the league removed him from draft boards.
DK is so explosive, but he deserves alot of respect for doing the 3 cone at the combine. He does it around the 2:55 mark and its not pretty, but nowadays these guys won't test if they know the number won't be good. He competed and I love that about him
I thought the same ... i understand the business decision behind not participating but i love players who do it anyway ... Also shows competetive spirit in my opinion
Vic Beasley’s entire combine should be here. One of the best athletes to ever play in the league. Just couldn’t put it all together as an actual rusher
Can’t believe there’s not one clip of Jadeveon Clowney in here. A 4.4 40yd dash at 265lbs+ is insane. Yeah he may have underperformed so far but his combine #’s were insane.
Probably b/c he didn't run a 4.40? It was a 4.53, which is still crazy, but his jumping numbers weren't great, nor was his 10 yard split. Also, guys like Montez Sweat DEMOLISHED Clowney's combine, and even Dwight Freeney WAY before him ran faster at the same weight, while being 5 inches shorter. 265 at under 6'1" is a lot bulkier than 265 on 6'5 1/2".
Walter Payton & Barry Sanders 4.5 hand time, Jerry Rice 4.6 hand time, Emmitt Smith never timed & was said to run about a 4.7 hand time. The NFL combines is a joke. The real question is can these guys ball? Most of them can't at the NFL level.
And Cooper Kupp ran a 4.62. Speed is pretty overrated for receivers. Obviously they need to be fast to a point, but they don't need to have elite speed to run good routes and get open and catch footballs.
@@breezyfr100 He was a back up and has only gotten 25 tackles in his career. I wish he was doing better but no team is gonna wanna sign a LB that can't even get 10 or 20 tackles in a season
@@Gpeagasus246 tbh the fact that he was put in as a backup was the biggest reason why he hasn't gotten many tackles, but when he's on the field he can make some plays, he definitely deserves a shot on another team
Seeing Dontari Poe run that fast at that size is easily the most impressive feat on this list. I mean, he had no business running that fast being that huge and yet he dead. My gosh man
The best combine performance ever was at the 2000 combine. When Courtney Brown at 6'4" 274 lbs ran a 4.50 40. Unfortunately injuries took his athletic ability away after 3 seasons.
@ZombieGoatt Sweat's official 40 time was a 4.41 w/ a 1.54 split, and a sub 4.3 shuttle. That's beyond freakish numbers. I'd also throw Bud Dupree into that convo. 4.58 at 270 w/ a 40+ vert and 11 1/2 foot broad jump. Those jumping numbers are better than 99% of skill position numbers in combine history.
I saw somewhere like 2 weeks ago theres a highschool junior out there (I forget where) standin 6'6" runnin 4.35, dude's barely 17. Plays WR&DL. Might be a real force comin out in a few years...you know, after he finishes college...after he finishes highschool 🤣. Some folks just built different than us mere mortals.
I notice that most of the Combine record holders are not really household names. It would be interesting to know how many of them had Hall Of Fame careers.
It's crazy to see that even after his performance all around especially his 40 time that DK still ended up getting drafted in the 2nd round!?! The Seahawks surely got a steal with him where they got him. Even a top 25 pick after that performance would've been good, with hindsight no doubt top 25! He's already been impressive early in his career! Personally I don't like the way he acts on the field if you watch Seahawk games he is constantly starting trouble and draws some penalties and I gotta think he's a distraction at times!?! His play is still awesome, but IMO he'd be a better all around piece for any franchise w/o the attitude!?! I wouldnt be surprised if he's some kind of trouble for them somewhere down the line or if it somehow affects his contract ($) or we see him traded soon! I like tough scrappy players especially at the WR position, but like I said watch his games he is always starting sh!t and it literally annoys the hell out of me.
@@MrBestinhalo they weren’t when they drafted him. Therefore, it should say “drafted by the Washington Redskins” for players drafted before 2019. It’s like saying the Los Angeles Chargers drafted Philip Rivers instead of the San Diego Chargers.
Not sure what's scary about that. One of the best speed coaches of all time used to teach his track star sprinters to relax their bodies and not stress. Apparently it helps your speed even though it seems unintuitive.
When I was playing College ball at a JUCO I was 165 lbs & benched 225 lbs 19 times. Also squated 550 lbs for 1 & used to rep out at about 10 X 450 lbs on the squat. Honestly it's all about your breathing & form. My fullback was a power lifter & taught me technique & breathing & this is what made the biggest difference.
Can anyone tell me why they're allowed to bounce the bar on their chest on the bench reps? I mean it's not as egregious as I've seen it in other areas and some dudes do it less than others but...still feels like a lot of them are getting a bounce. Seems potentially detrimental to their own health and presumably doing stricter benches would be just as good if not better for testing muscular endurance on the combine's side of things? Just curious if anyone knows of a reason why that might be the way it is.
You need to watch out for the guys who’s only concerns going into the combine is their physical traits, and then they dominate. Aaron Donald. The concern was his size and obviously he didnt change that at the combine. But to IMPRESS at the combine on top of clearly being the best pure defensive lineman in the country in college…you gotta take that guy higher than they did. Darrelle Revis, people thought he might be too slow, he goes and runs a 4.4 or I think a sub 4.4 possibly. These kinds of guys are scary
He ran 4.38 in the 40 but long speed was his downfall along with the rules changing. Once they started calling defensive holding Revis Island had to shut down. The rules changed directly aimed at him and his numbers dropped dramatically.
a question? How many of these guys setting world beating marks have become world beaters?? Maybe 1 or 2 of them if we bein generous… the difference between good players and hall of famers can’t be measured by the combine. It’s between the ears
DK could bench with the linemen. Run with the receivers. Jump/agility with the dbs & all while weighing linebacker weight and o-linemen height but all while having less than 2% body fat. Most of those things aren't even achievable. That's just God sculpted bro.
If onky DK and Nkeal spread their hands out more. Could probably add another couple to the bench. Only making it harder on themselves doing it all triceps and making it a longer way down and up
Complete abomination there wasn’t a mention of Brady Quinn benching at the combine. He set a record for QB benching at the combine, not sure if he still has it but it was like 25 I think which is absurd for a QB.
DK Meltcalf set the world on fire and Howie Roseman was like, "nah, I want JJ Arcega-Whiteside."
I still hate him for it
lmfao 🤣
Imagine if we got Justin Jefferson too sigh
Cardinals said we want Andy Isabella 😂

The 40 that always sticks out to me is former Arkansas QB turned pro WR Matt Jones. He was like 6'5" 240 & ran in the 4.3s
Nice looking at legends, big name players and players lookng to make a big name all giving it 100% Thanks for the vid throwback.
I didn't know Riche Incognito was that athletic.
Well, that's why he's been in the league for 18 years almost. Pretty crazy for a lineman.
Ross is so fast I don’t even see him on the field on Sundays.

Would be cool if they showed accolades for these guys in the league too
Holy shit! Tristan Wirfs with the Thunder Thighs!
until we saw jordan davis 4.78 340+ lbs
Time to make a new video and talk about Nolan Smith. 4.39 as a DL with a 40 inch vertical.
