Kenichi Udeze Workout

[SoCalBillsFan]

Today's was USC's pro day, and early reports are that Kenichi Udeze ran a 4.74 and had a 39 Inch vertical.

THe source is a poster from an SC message board who was there, he's reliable but I'll try to get confirmation from an outside source since most of you will want something more official . I know there are several of you interested in Udeze, and if these are his real numbers then he certainly performed well...

How does this stack up to his combine performance and also side by side with Will Smith at his pro day and in the combine. Personally I think Smith is better at this stage and Udeze should of stayed in school.

Edeze ran a 4.74 40? Holy S**T!

Thats pretty impressive for a DE, Considering not one of the QB's avail ran better then 4.94

Will Smith is faster, but Udeze is bigger. I would take either, but if we're thinking left defensive end, Udeze might be a better fit.

sorry...no DE's in the first round. ill bet all my ZBs

stayed in school? I guess time will tell, but if he goes in the top 15 I think he made the right call...

Not sure who is better between him and will smith, it's a tough call, thats for sure.

i was thinking the same exact thing.. for LDE we want a bigger end.. but my god.. if he ran under a 4.8.. color me VERY impressed... much faster than i thought..

and i dont know if you guys noticed at all.. but marquise hill of LSU ran last week..

he couldnt break a 5.0.. and one run was a 5.3.. wow.. see ya in the 4th round.

How can someone thats 273 lbs have a 39inch vertical? That's NBA-type hops.

here's a link, nfl.com had his fastest 40 time at 4.77 and confirmed the 39 inch vertical. He also did 25 strength reps (thought he would do more, but still not bad).

WHat's amazing is as a freshman he weighed 360 pounds! Now is running under 4.8 and jumping 39 inches!

Udeze has great numbers.....On the marquis hill front i guess some scouts are concerned because he may have a bipolar disorder....

I've seen him play enough times that I think he's the real deal - and he's still just learnin. Several scouts have compared him to a young Bruce Smith, not quite as quick but stronger and leaner.

[B-DON]

we just might have to scoop him. he is going to be a beast for sure

Hey Tatonka, I would take Marquis Hill if he fell to the 4th round, wouldn't you?

yes.. my point was he was a guy that was considered a possible low 1st round, early second round guy..

now he is going to drop off the planet like rien long did last year..

I really like Udeze and if he is there at 13, which I really don't think he will be, I would be very happy if the Bills took him. I believe he was converted to DE from DT. He has the best all around skills of the DEs in the draft and is worthy of a top 10 pick.
