||||||
| # | Player | College | Height | Weight | 40 time | |
| 1. |
 |
Fred Davis | USC | 6'3" | 255lbs | 4.75 |
|
Summary: He’s got good size, amazing hands and just knows how to make plays in the red zone. |
||||||
| 2. |
 |
Martellus Bennett | Texas A&M | 6'6" | 259lbs | 4.68 |
|
Summary: Monster size with silly athleticism. He wasn’t used much in college…still has plenty of room for improvement. |
||||||
| 3. |
 |
Brad Cottam | Tennessee | 6'7" | 270lbs | 4.63 |
|
Summary: Set the Combine on fire. To be 6’7” and run a 4.63 is amazing. He looked fluid, had great hands. This guy will be an NFL weapon. |
||||||
| 4. |
 |
Dustin Keller | Purdue | 6'2" | 242lbs | 4.55 |
|
Summary: Dallas Clark only faster! This kid isn’t huge and won’t be a great blocker but he’s got great hands and ran a 4.55. |
||||||
| 5. |
 |
Martin Rucker | Missouri | 6'4" | 251lbs | 4.70 |
|
Summary: Had great college career. More of a receiver than a blocker, he’s got great potential and should have no problem making an NFL squad. |
||||||
| 6. |
 |
John Carlson | Notre Dame | 6'5" | 255lbs | 4.89 |
|
Summary: He’s more of a blocking TE with solid hands. His size will land him on a team (6’5” 255) but his speed won’t make him a fantasy factor (4.89). |
||||||
| 7. |
 |
Jermichael Finley | Texas | 6'4" | 243lbs | 4.82 |
|
Summary: Killed himself at the Combine. He was supposed to be an athletic freak…he plodded out a 4.82 forty. He’s too small to be a good blocker. His pro day better be much much faster or he’s toast. |
||||||
| 8. |
 |
Jacob Tamme | Kentucky | 6'3" | 236lbs | 4.58 |
|
Summary: He’s small weighing in at only 236 but ran a good forty at 4.58. He’s in the Chris Cooley mold and would fit nicely as an H-back. |
||||||
| 9. |
 |
Kellen Davis | Michigan St. | 6'6" | 262lbs | 4.60 |
|
Summary: Big and fast, this guy is climbing the charts quick. He’ll be an NFL starter some day. He’s 6’6” 262 and ran a 4.6. |
||||||
| 10. |
 |
Darrell Strong | Pittsburgh | 6'4" | 268lbs | 4.85 |
|
Summary: More of a blocker than receiver. Nothing special here so I’ll stop typing now. |
