Will Smith - 4.58 40??

[Earthquake Enyart]

From NFL.com individual workout page about the Ohio State pro day:

Smith (6-2½, 267) ran his 40s in 4.58 and 4.62. He did a 38½-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot-9 long jump and he benched 225 pounds a total of 30 times. A sore ankle prevented him from running the short and long shuttles, but he ran 7.42 in the three-cone drill.

This is unreal.

What is unreal?? He time in the 40? Says he had an ankle injury...not surprising.

hes a 270 pound DE and he ran that in the 40? thats pretty incredible.

[Tatonka]

I was being sarcastic based on the other info given...vertical leap and long jump...wouldn't they also be affected by the ankle??

that is weight that he put on for the draft.. and it will come right back off.

A 4.58 plus 30 reps?

That's sick. TD please draft Smith. Thanks.

Exactly!

Yeah darn it, he is only 265!!!!

Udeze is still preferable because he has more mass, but I think Will Smith could help the Bills. I think he put on a good share of his weight (versus his 2003 season) before and during last season. I don't think this is going to be another Erik Flowers scenario. I'm still not convinced Buffalo's going to draft a DE though.

Sure is then we can have 2 small DE's if we draft him then teams can have lost of options of what side to run on.

[Earthquake Enyart]

When you can do 30 reps, you're not exactly a weak sister at the point of attack.

actually, both Udeze and Smith have intriguing potential - Smith moreso as a pure pass rusher, Udeze as a run stopper who causes havoc in the backfield. Udeze's advantage is that he is 280 punds and many have compared him to a young Bruce Smith in terms of his potential. Personally, if both are available at #13, I take Udeze - else I consider Reggie Williams who some compare to Eric Moulds, just younger and bigger - same passion to win, and unfortunately some of the same immaturity coming out of college.

i like udeze, i doubt he'll be on board
