When an OOS prospect visits Columbus in January, it isn't a free vacation and there is legitimate interest. DO WANT. Pure WR prospect who is very explosive and can contribute immediately. Just what this class needs.

I'm a little bit depressed that Rivals lists him as 4.5 in the 40. I prefer 4.1.

I cheered myself up with this article:
http://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/s...erald-boldin-prove-how-stupid-40-yard-dash-is

Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin are among the top 10 wideouts in the league even though they couldn't run a 4.5 coming out of college. .....
"Jerry Rice never ran a 4.5. Neither did Cris Carter," NBC analyst and former Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth said. "I don't think that's a problem for Fitzgerald." ....

Still, the NFL seems to rely on the 40 as a key indicator come draft time. There are already rumors Texas Tech star Michael Crabtree could fall a bit in April because he won't break 4.5. But like Fitzgerald and so many other great receivers of the past, Crabtree makes up for that kind of speed with football speed.
