dont know if its been posted but some details from Roy Williams workout:
4.37-4.4 - 40 yard times
39 1/2 vert
11 ft long jump
3.97 in the shuttle drill
Faster then Fitz, jumped higher then fitz, and had a longer long jump then fitz. Significantly in all categories.
Three scouts who attended the workout, and were surveyed by ESPN.com, said their teams likely would still have Fitzgerald rated the top receiver prospect, but allowed that Williams was right there with him.
In a "pro day" workout attended by nearly 100 coaches, scouts and personnel department staffers, the Longhorns star firmly established himself as a top 10 choice next month and put himself neck-and-neck with Larry Fitzgerald of the University of Pittsburgh for the top wide receiver spot in the draft. A third contender, Southern California standout Mike Williams, won't audition for scouts until April 8, in Tampa.
Roy Williams stunned even himself, he acknowledged, with 40-yard times of between 4.37-4.44 seconds. No one felt that Williams, one of the several physically imposing (6-feet-2 ½, 211 pounds) receivers in the 2004 draft pool, would run so fast. There were recent reports that some teams might be skittish enough about Williams' past ankle and knee problems, none considered serious, to drop him on their draft boards.
