NFL Scouting Combine: Top 5 60-yard shuttle times in history

One of the newer tests at the NFL scouting combine is the 60-yard shuttle, where players are trying to show their lateral quickness, burst, and acceleration in short areas. It's all about how fast a player can get from one point to another, taking into account their starting and stopping speeds along the way. Great times in the 60-yard shuttle are around 11 seconds total, as the players go 10 yards to one side, back 20 yards to another cone, and then finish by going back to the starting point. It's actually a 40-yard test, but called the 60-yard shuttle to keep it separate from the 40-yard dash.
When it comes to conditioning of athletes, the 60-yard shuttle might be one of the best tests that the NFL scouting combine has to offer at this time. The best times have all been recent ones, but a heavy mark of success has yet to be predicated by a great 60-yard shuttle time. Everyone on this list is a great athlete, but NFL success hasn't come to all of them just yet.

The Best 60-Yard Shuttle Times in NFL Combine
Brian Hartline(notes), Ohio State, (WR), 10.92 ?2009
Brian Hartline was a fourth round (No. 108) selection by the Miami Dolphins in the 2009 NFL Draft, and has been a good receiver for the team in his first two seasons. In 2010 he started 11 games for the Dolphins, posting 615 receiving yards for the season.

Brian Hartline says lockout is setting the Dolphins? offense back.

While the veteran players are generally enjoying their time off during the lockout, Hartline said this week on SiriusXM NFL Radio that the lockout is going to hurt the Dolphins as they try to learn and install Brian Daboll?s offense this summer.

Brian Hartline is worried about the Dolphins having enough time to install their new offense / Post file

?Without a doubt, missing OTAs and missing some of these things is definitely putting us back a little bit,? Hartline said. ?We?ll probably need a little extra time. We can function on the level where the fan, and the average eye, might not understand. But the comfort in the huddle, and kind of being on the exact same page, is going to take a little longer time.?

?But we?re going to do our best as a team, with Chad Henne?s help and a lot of our offensive players, to get this stuff installed during the lockout.?

Hartline has spent most of his offseason back home in Ohio, but has worked a bit with Henne and said Daboll?s offense is going to look different from what the Dolphins produced the last three seasons under Dan Henning. Hartline prefaced his comments by saying that he ?was a huge supporter of Dan Henning.?

?Coach Daboll is definitely opening it up,? Hartline said. ?We saw that even just playing Cleveland last year, seeing the amount of sets, the quick-ball-out-of-your-hand situation, some of the scatback stuff that might work a little bit more with our offense.?

Hartline makes some interesting points about Ohio State scandal.

Hartline, the Dolphins? third-year receiver and proud Ohio State alum, said on Sirius that he?s ?kind of pissed off? about the way things went down for his alma mater and former coach Jim Tressel.

Hartline isn?t trying to remove blame from Tressel or the players who took gifts ? including Dolphins teammate Rob Rose ? but believes the NCAA ?set these programs up for failure? by making money off the players without having to pay them wages on top of their scholarships.

?I?m kind of getting fed up with pointing at players and coaches, when no one wants to look at the NCAA,? Hartline said. ?You?re talking about universities that bring in hundreds of millions of dollars a year, pay coaches hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions a year, but you can?t afford to pay for these students? Then you go out and get boosters to pay for the school? I mean, where is the overhead for the schools??

?There is a complete, utter monopoly going on in America. You claim amateurism and sell these guys? jerseys because you don?t put their name on the back? If that?s the case, put 00 on every jersey and sell Ohio State memorabilia instead of selling the players.?

Hartline admits that paying players is not so easy, and it wouldn?t stop players from trying to sell memorabilia and receive freebies. But it?s hard to argue with his point about the NCAA, universities and coaches all getting rich off college football, but not the players.

And Hartline also defended his alma mater.

?Regardless of what the (Sports Illustrated) article says, 90 percent of the guys aren?t getting anything,? he said. ?I never took a cent, but on the flip side, I wasn?t really offered a whole lot.?

Brian Hartline says Ohio State lost a great coach ?to a flawed system?
by: Omar Kelly
June 10th, 2011

Miami Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline doesn?t understand why it?s acceptable for the NCAA to exploit college athletes, and thinks the amateur rules for college football are outdated.

On a Dolphins note, Hartline mentioned practicing plays with spread offense concepts during the Michigan Boys Nova workouts and immediately my ears caught fire. To hear all Hartline had to say listen to this interview.

Miami Dolphins' Brian Hartline looking to become more of downfield threat
Speedy third-year receiver knows he must come up with big plays to take pressure off Marshall while fending off Wallace
By Harvey Fialkov, Sun Sentinel
August 9, 2011

DAVIE?
Dolphins third-year receiver Brian Hartline does everything at a fast pace, whether it's driving, running or talking. At times, his words tumble into each other to form a run-on sentence that somehow smoothly gets his point across.

Hartline knows in order to fend off raw receiver Roberto Wallace for a starting job while helping the Dolphins improve their vertically challenged 27th-ranked passing attack, he must become more of a downfield scoring threat.

"Absolutely, I want to close in on double-digit [touchdowns],'' Hartline said after practice Tuesday.

After a stellar rookie season in which Hartline was 13th in the league in yards-per-catch (16.3 on 31 receptions for 3 TDs) among receivers with 30 or more catches, expectations rose dramatically in 2010 with the addition of perennial 1,000-yard receiver Brandon Marshall.

Although Marshall and slot receiver Davone Bess set a franchise record by a tandem with 165 catches, a leaky offensive line combined with an indecisive Chad Henne under center turned the anticipated quick-strike assault into a methodical, check-down offense that resulted in four passing plays of 40 yards or more and only five touchdown passes to outside receivers.

Hartline, 24, who despite missing the final four games after breaking his finger, had 43 catches for 615 yards for a team-leading 14.3 yards-per-catch, but just one touchdown. He led the team with 10 catches of 20 yards or more, one better than Marshall.

Hartline believes another year playing alongside Marshall, who often draws double teams, as well as a less confining game plan under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, should bolster last year's anemic 17.1 points-per-game output.

"I want to be a playmaker for this team,'' said Hartline, the first Dolphin to lead the team in yards-per-catch in his first two seasons since Oronde Gadsden in 1999. "Another year under our belt helps everybody. I feel like I'm more established and am ready to take the next step.

Miami Dolphins WR Brian Hartline says NCAA is to blame for scandals at Miami, Ohio State and other schools
by Ben Volin

Brian Hartline watched his alma mater get dragged through the mud this summer in a scandal that ultimately cost former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel his job.

hartline-300x224.jpg

Brian Hartline says the NCAA's system is the reason for the spate of scandals in college sports / Post file

He?s watched USC give up its BCS championship and Reggie Bush his Heisman trophy for a scandal involving players receiving extra benefits. He?s watched UNC get in major trouble for the same. Auburn, Oregon and LSU are also under investigation for wrongdoing. Now he sees the University of Miami embroiled in a major scandal involving thousands of dollars of cash and gifts going to players over the past decade.

And Hartline?s tired of the players and head coaches taking all the blame.

?The NCAA is creating this situation,? Hartline said after the Dolphins? practice on Wednesday. ?It?s not just one school here or there. It?s happening all the time. And you have players who are more famous than the average NFL player making nowhere near the amount of money. But money and things are being thrown at him.?

?Kids are trying to get what they can, have they have too many outside influences. And I think the rules overall, and how they deal with these kind of situations, needs to be relooked at and checked out again. If not, this stuff will continue to happen.?

Hartline said it?s not fair that players such as Terrelle Pryor and coaches such as Tressel, who left Ohio State after he knowingly withheld information about his players receiving free gifts from a booster, take the fall but the boosters don?t face repercussions.

?If you?re going to have such life-altering punishments for these young men, you have to have some kind of punishment for the people on the outside,? he said. ?Whether it?s local enforcement, law enforcement, I don?t know what it is. There?s got to be something they can do to stop the outside population from exploiting young athletes.?

?There?s a better outcome than just blaming 18 to 22-year-olds and getting rid of head coaches because they can?t control 105 guys that are celebrities in a town like Miami or Ohio State.?

Hartline said he believes the answer is to pay NCAA athletes ? particularly to let them receive a share of the profits of jersey sales.

?The idea of the monopoly being illegal ? the NCAA has no competition. The NCAA just cleans (up),? he said. ?You sell jerseys of players every year, and to say you don?t pay the player because you don?t use their last name is an absolute scam. If that wasn?t the situation, you?d put 00 on every jersey year in and year out, and there?s no conversation. The fact that you change the starters year in and year out to sell university apparel and then not give it to a player, I think is wrong.?

Wide receiver shuffle for Miami Dolphins?

With every projected starter on the Dolphins? depth chart spending Thursday?s game on the sideline, there was still one peculiar presence on the field in the first half ? wide receiver Brian Hartline.

Since the start of camp, many have assumed Hartline would resume his role as the No. 2 receiver opposite Brandon Marshall ? even as coach Tony Sparano said that the job was open for competition. Whether this was an indication of that competition or not, Sparano said this game provided a rare look at Hartline as a slot receiver, a scenario that he doesn?t often get to see.

?We used Hartline a little different [Thursday night],? Sparano said. ?I wanted to see him inside, which I haven?t been able to see. We?ve been getting so many guys repetitions, this was a good opportunity not to take reps away from [ Davone] Bess but to see Hartline inside.

?That?s a scenario that you never know, it could come up at some point.?

So don?t read too much into Thursday?s extra action for Hartline, other than situational practice, but it does beg to wonder whether Bess will line up opposite Marshall in two-receiver sets. Either way, Hartline, who caught two passes for 37 yards against the Cowboys, will see plenty of action.

On the team's first depth chart of the regular season, WR Brian Hartline is listed as the No. 2 starting receiver ? providing clarity to any questions whether he would be demoted in favor of another player. Sparano had maintained through training camp that it wasn't a guarantee that he'd have the job. But it appears the team will go with last year's plan: Davone Bess will work in the slot with Hartline on the outside.
