So we get wrapped up in 40 speed or lack thereof.
But isn’t the gauntlet drill a much more realistic model of the actual game?
Spoiler Alert: Keon slayed it
As compared to a couple of the other elite prospects. Makes them look slow.
Keon Coleman (@FSUFootball) reached the fastest speed of group 8 during the gauntlet drill (20.36 mph), despite recording the slowest forty time (4.61s).#NFLCombine x @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/1SioPdOPNU

The greatest WR of all time Jerry Rice ran a 4.6
If Coleman has half of JR’s work ethic he could be good. That gauntlet thing, whatever that is, is interesting
Translation: let’s wait to declare him a bust until he takes a snap
In depth analysis of Coleman from cover 1 with film etc. I think it is fair.
Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.
what isn't there is...separation. He had one deep ball against Syracuse where the DB might have tripped or was fooled. But on the vast majority of passes, defenders are within a yard or two of him. He certainly makes some contested catches, but he also misses on many of them. Id be surprised if his contested catch rate was even close to 50%. And that doesn't bode well for a guy who has to make a contested catch on nearly every target.
The 4.6 40 shows up on tape. Sorry.
I don’t buy the “Josh doesn’t do that” argument.
He’s only 27, and although he’s not as cerebral as Manning or Young he’s certainly no dummy and therefore will be able to learn/adapt.
I think Brady is the key here, it’s up to him to set up an offense that best utilizes the strengths of all of these weapons.
I don't think Josh hits those WRs in stride on crosses and slants, which Coleman's gauntlet drill skill showcased. It's just not his ball.
Like the Cover 1 analysts said, Josh likes to throw to receivers who flash open. We've seen that his whole career and there is nothing wrong with that.
Coleman's skillet and Josh's skillet don't mesh. Yet.
