R44 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Before I get into this hidden small school TE prospect, let me just say the average tight end at the most recent NFL Combine measured in at 6' 3", 260 pounds and ran a 4.88 in the 40 yard dash....The average WR at the most recent scouting Combine in Indy was about 6' 1", 200 pounds and ran a 4.58 in the 40. Know, I present Brandon Twito, former college hoopster, who just walked onto the Pittsburgh State (best D-2 football school in America) football team in 2004 and did real well--caught 23 passes for 361 yards(15.7 ypc) and 4 TD's. Just the start? Twito is listed to be 6' 7", 275 pounds and the schools official site claims this athletic big fellow runs the 40 yard dash in 4.58 seconds http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:BlkW76eWiakJ:www.pittstategorillas.com/football/roster/twito.pdf+Brandon+Twito+tight+end&hl=en Considering how NFL teams signed 4 or 5 former basketball players with no college football experience last season, expect this player to be watched real close. Of course, it could all be "misinformation".....Can a player that big, really come out of nowhere and run that run fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Thanks as usual with these tidbits on players- it is hard for me to believe this guy can be clocked at the time for the 40 yard dash This school is in Kansas if I am right R44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 as someone very wise once said whether it's real or a hoax either way we will pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage69 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well Matt Jones was faster then that at 6'6 but then he's about 40 pounds lighter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Good looking kid, too. You have to wonder how he actually runs, if he's a real athlete. Speaking of huge TE's, I'll be curious to see what the TE from Georgia runs. He was pretty productive in the games I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardSeymour Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 What if there was a TE who put up these numbers.... 6'3, 258 lbs 4.44 40-yard dash 34 reps of 225 lbs 535-pound bench press 570-pound squat 380-pound power clean 40-inch vertical jump 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R44 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 faba, Kansas is correct....Every season, they get plenty of time on ESPN in the D-2 playoffs. They also have a tackle -- Chad Weeks -- who's getting some NFL attention. By the way, Twito's team played last week and he had 5 receptions for 76 yards and hauled in a TD ******* Bit, we will be paying attention...count on that ********* RS, no TE type runs 4.44 40's (except Matt Jones)--those are bogus Pro Day, hand-timed times......By the way, who is the mystery Patriot who ran these numbers? I bet it's a TE from Georgia, where Thomas Davis, for example, ran a 4.45 40 at UGA Pro Day a week after running almost 4.7 at the combine ....At Georgia, Ohio State and Tennessee, I think they actually run the 35 yard dash for scouts Actually, Ohio State is a fast track, but Georgia's is a down right 'rocket powered track". ********* TS, with big Joe Newton of Oregon State down for the season, Leonard Pope is clearly the #1 junior--great size and speed....Super prospect. I'll try to find Pope's 40 time, but as I stated Georgia has a weird track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 alk is definately talking about Watson - yes who was on the rocket powered track. He's a great workout warrior there's no question. He will be of great value when Belly is running the Alabama Wishbone and curled up crying in the fetal position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
