Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)


Ohio State may have won the one battle, but it looks like Texas won the war.
Ryan Day should quit trying to win games and just work to get his players into the combine.
Sounds an awful lot like the old Tennecheat "February National Championships" they would win in the early-mid 2000's.

NFL scouting combine: Isaiah Bond fails to back up prediction of topping Xavier Worthy's 40-yard dash record

The Texas WR said on Friday that he would beat Worthy's record time of 4.21​

Isaiah Bond failed to beat Xavier Worthy's NFL scouting combine record 40-yard dash time of 4.21 seconds on Saturday.

The Texas wide receiver posted 40 times of 4.41 and 4.40 in his attempt to take the title of fastest man.





Just sayin': "All talk"

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy throws shade at former Texas Longhorns teammate after he falls well short of NFL combine record 40-yard dash​

The 2025 NFL Scuting Combine was set for a lot of excitement on Saturday. With the quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers set to take the field in Indianapolis, you can bet that all the fans were watching to see the next wave of NFL stars. That included several players who had the chance to really turn some heads in the forty-yard dash.

During media availability this week, former Texas running back and wide receiver Isaiah Bond set their expectations high. Both were on the record for saying they could potentially break current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy's forty-yard dash record that was set just last year. Worthy famously ran it in 4.21 seconds.

Blue, who is a talented running back and former teammate of Worthy, predicted he could potentially run in the 4.1s during testing. He used his time with Worthy as the barometer. That is where his confidence came from, but did admit Worthy set the bar very high.

"Yeah, he definitely did," said Blue. "At workouts all last year, (Xavier Worthy) was the one I ran next to. Me and him used to go at it. He won a few and I won a few. He's fast, don't get me wrong, but I don't think people really know how fast I am because I don't really run in games unless I have to."

While Bond was never a teammate with Worthy, he was also confident he could be close to the record. He predicted at least a 4.20-second time, but had the possibility of getting into the 4.1s as well.

Neither did. Bond ended with a 4.39-second time, while Blue ran it in 4.38 seconds. Worthy wasn't shy to head to Instagram for his instant analysis after they fell so short.

WIDE RECEIVER U. Matthew Golden impressed scouts at the NFL Combine last week. The Texas wide receiver, who collected two catches for 51 yards in his team's Cotton Bowl loss to Ohio State, has average size (6-foot, 195 pounds) but ran a blazing 4.29-second 40 with a 1.49 10-yard split.

After the combine, an NFL coach texted Bruce Feldman of The Athletic and shared that he's "a big golden fan."

Why is he a big Golden fan?

Well, because Golden reminds him of the pass catchers Ohio State has sent to the NFL since Brian Hartline took over as wide receivers coach in 2019.
One NFL coach texted me saying he is a big Golden fan and was hoping he wouldn’t run that fast because he thought Golden was being undervalued in the draft community: “He’s razor-sharp getting in and out of his cuts and he plays a lot bigger than his size. I like him more than their two WRs last year (Xavier Worthy and AD Mitchell). He’s the best route runner in this draft. He looks like one of those Ohio State (receiver) products.
Yeah, Ohio State is Wide Receiver U.

There's no debate.
