If that right there doesn't tell us he's bound for Canton...nothing will. Quote At Bostick's 2012 two pro days (at Newberry and at Coastal Carolina), he blazed his 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds and notched a 36-inch vertical jump. For comparison's sake, those measurables would have been best and second-best among tight ends at this year's NFL combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we'll be looking at. He has a very good chance of making the 53 however that only speaks to our TE depth. He'll be fighting with Saxton for a spot.

Stopped using them years ago when I realized how often they were wrong. In fairness, I don't know where the article claiming the 2 4.49's got their times.

What? more nonsense again. those 40 times are hand-timed by actual scouts. the high/low are the highest deviations from the consensus. the combine uses electronic times which is why they don't match the scouts #. and you call yourself a NFL "writer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of TE's that have a roster spot, even starting role, simply b/c they are receiving threats. Yes, to be an every down TE you have to now how to block. But if you can be a offensive weapon, you'll stay on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Didn't Cumberland run 4.4's? Something like that. 40's could help decipher what could be a great DB, RB or WR from a good one sometimes but besides that, not sure they mean much from a sh*t heap to solid range. I dunno.

It's not the only thing that counts, but for a team that wants to get faster, it's a nice start.

If the guy weighs 250+ lbs. and runs faster than many starting wide receivers in the league, he is a freak of nature and they would be downright idiotic not to get him the ball. On that particular play against the Jags, I think the Jets caught the defense with the element of surprise and he was wide open...if he ran 4.45, being that far behind the defense, no one catches him. We shall see, maybe the Pats pick him up and use him as a duel threat opposite Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
