WR Ted Ginn, Jr. (Official Thread)

[osugrad21]

Forgot about him, but I believe the mess he got into with Mo C and the year he had off between playing at SC and playing in the NFL hurt him too. He needs to get in a better situation too.

True but he also came into the combine overweight and ripped off a blazing 4.6...not a horrible workout but certainly not a great one either.

He still made the top 10 though.

It's where Ginn, the Ohio State star and a sure first-round pick, has spent weeks leading up to the NFL draft - training alongside Renard Stevens, a wide receiver from a Division II school in West Virginia.

[FONT=Verdana,Arial, Helvetica]Cameron watches Ginn

Cameron attended a workout of Ted Ginn Jr., the former Ohio State receiver/return specialist, on Wednesday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Ginn, who sustained a foot injury in the Jan. 8 national title game against Florida, was impressive but still not 100 percent, according to several witnesses.

"It was a heck of a feat for him to do what he did," Dolphins scout Ellis Rainsberger told The Columbus Dispatch.

The Dolphins, who have the ninth pick of the first round, are in the market for a return specialist and speedy receiver since the departure of Welker....

After reading all these articles, it looks like Ginn may fall to the eleventyth round...

I think this workout proves a couple of positive things about Ginn.

+ He was not avoiding workouts for fear of being "exposed". He is actually injured
+ Even with an injury he is just as fast as some of the fastest WRs in the draft.

I'd take Teddy at 80% against anyone in the draft in a footrace to the endzone.

Know what I just realized.....we will probably never, ever find out what Teddy actually runs in the 40. I love it.

 

[MARVYMARV14]

Ginn is going to change the way teams gameplan, no matter where he goes, and I don't think there are 10 teams that are dumb enough to pass up on having that luxery. Top 10 pick guaranteed.

That's sweet. I'm going to tell my future kids that Teddy once ran a 3.9.

i'm going to tell my kids that teddy ran a 3.7, against the wind, uphill on a wet field.

...carrying a baby in the snow while he was dehydrated and 80% healthy.

(what is this percent of health people always use? is there a special machine you step into and it gives you a wellness rating? If I wasnt good on one leg, I only have half my legs- doesnt that mean I am 50%?)

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

Mike Williams so far...still has time, but major letdown so far.

Mike Williams is a 4.7 guy while Jarrett is more like a 4.55 4.6 guy. Someone is going to be kicking himself in the foot a year from now for passing on Jarrett.

Its really not the point, but (from the combine notebook):

At some point last night, however, Mike changed his mind and elected to run. He had a few false starts but ended up being timed at 4.61 on his first attempt and 4.59 on his second.

Big returns for specialists

After success of Bears? Hester, several speedy players have seen NFL draft stock rise this year.

By RANDY COVITZ

The Kansas City Star


They all want to be this year?s Devin Hester.

That will be the case for Ohio State?s Ted Ginn Jr., and Texas? Aaron Ross, though they project to go late in the first round because of their abilities at their positions.
Ginn was a second-team All-American wide receiver, but he also holds the Big Ten record for most career punt returns for touchdowns with six and led the NCAA in punt returns (25.6 yards) as a freshman and in kickoff returns (29.6) as a sophomore. And he returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown in the BCS title game against Florida only to suffer a game-ending ankle injury while celebrating the score.
Watching Hester?s performance during the NFL season and in the Super Bowl inspired Ginn and Ross.
?If he can do it, I believe I can do it,? Ginn said. ?I?m not trying to be cocky, but we do have the same abilities and same type speed. I believe if he can go out and do it, I can do it, too.?
