124 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Why is this? I heard he was a 3rd or 4th round type of guy coming out of Kansas. He's a returner and a corner, can GJ&H, Bit or R44 give some info about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Jets & Ham Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Why is this? I heard he was a 3rd or 4th round type of guy coming out of Kansas. He's a returner and a corner, can GJ&H, Bit or R44 give some info about this? I think he ran like a 4.8 ... that's the death blow for a CB in the draft Same reason Parham went undrafted ... ran like a 5.0 ... LB's don't need to be 4.5 Guys, but 5.0 is OL territory ... that killed his draft status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazor went undrafted for the same reason ... ran like a turtle Two years ago Jammal Brimmer was one of the best college DB's in the nation, if not the best, and he went undrafted as well, after an inital high projection ... same reason, ran like a turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets won't touch this guy with a ten foot poll, JF ... aside from being slow as a snail, he's a bad guy to boot ... his coach practically said he's a jerk ... so you know Mangini won't touch this kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harris5214 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 gordon ran a 4.61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Jets & Ham Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 gordon ran a 4.61 That might be right, vilma ... I'm going by memory and it's hard to remember the exact numbers for every player ... but that's still kinda slow for a smallish corner and his character was a huge issue ... his own HC couldn't stomach him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harris5214 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 same with zemeits of PSU he ran in 4.60`s too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Jets & Ham Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 same with zemeits of PSU he ran in 4.60`s too He slid pretty far too, but he Got drafted cause he's a Good Guy by all accounts ... you might overlook a slow forty for a high character guy, maybe draft him for a cover-two scheme, but no-one is overlooking physical limitations for a bad actor like Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
