Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier wasn't able to run the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine because of a hamstring issue, and he tweaked his hamstring again Friday at Ohio State's pro day.

But he tweaked it while running the 40, and with representatives from 29 NFL teams watching, he was timed at an unofficial 4.36 seconds -- a startling time for a linebacker.

Still, let's stress this was an unofficial time, and while Shazier unquestionably is the fastest linebacker in the draft, the 4.36 time, frankly, strains credulity. That time would've been the fourth-fastest at the combine, behind the 4.26 of Kent State running back Dri Archer, the 4.33 by Oregon State wide receiver Brandin Cooks and the 4.34 by Pittsburg (Kan.) State wide receiver John Brown. (Archer, Brown and Shazier are Florida natives, so maybe there is something to this "Florida speed" thing.)

Fast enough to cover Gronk..

Fast enough to sack brady before even throwing to Gronk. That 40 is just insane. He always looked like a tweener though.

Shazier's a beast. 

 

What's going to happen to Harris this offseason? 

yeah a beast who comes with the rap of not knowing how to shed blocks. Straight line speed means nothing if your not a good football player. Remember the days of Gholston dancing with LT's ?

I'm not sure what this says but it sounds lazy. 

 

 
I doubt he can play inside. He could be a nice WS LB in the 3-4. 
 

 

 
I think he can play inside a 3-4. it's just a rough position to draft in the first round.

Harris is going to get cut because he has a high cap number

No he isn't, he's still our Mike backer and although his contract was paid way over his ability, he only costs us 7m this year, and not the Insain 13 they paid him in 2013. He's very good, the main knock is he's slow. Look for the Jets look to reload the ILB later in the draft and in 2015. This year he's safe.
