March 5, 20196 yr The combine was good to great for every Texas player except Humphrey.According to one in the ljh thread it was great for him too if he doesn't get drafted and gets to go the lucrative UDFA route.

Well Hafthor Bjornsenn didn't want to play American Football and he's also the strongest man in the world, so his reason isn't because he lacks the physical ability. He just doesn't want to play some stupid sport that has a high injury risk and not much tradeoff as far as pay/sponsorships go. He's absolutely worked out with the teams and blown their minds and has a well documented history of "trying other sports". He's a freak and was an excellent basketball player before he started doing strongman. DK Metcalf is just bad at what he should have been good at, but still good enough to play D1 and still good enough to get drafted.

While this is an excellent response, I was just kidding around with his "why don't combine numbers = success" question
March 5, 20196 yr why wasn't he better with numbers like that at Texas? Kid is frustrating for me to figure out.No pass rush at all.

However, why didn’t he (or the coaches) adjust his technique to stop WR from running by him and drawing the predictable holding/PI penalties? Somebody was slow to adjust to the real problem up front.

Some players are who they are. It's all well to teach it in practice, but Kris has had discipline issues off the field and on.
March 5, 20196 yr Measurables were never the problem with Boyd. If anything they were the reason he was recruited highly.
March 6, 20196 yr Author I've always believed that his strength is his most elite "player talent"... he is pretty fast and average sized... not very disciplined nor possessing a particularly strong work ethic. I don't believe that the combine did anything for Kris (positively or negatively) than to validate these widely held perceptions of him as a football player.

Which, in a really weak year at CB, puts him in a position to make some nice money. Edited March 6, 20196 yr by texifornia
March 28, 20196 yr Eyes of Texas: Scouts comments at Texas Pro Day CB Kris Boyd “Boyd worked out well today. You see the explosiveness and just a bunch of raw athleticism. But he plays with such bad eyes. You almost have to break him down and start over in the image you want him. So that has to be factored in when you consider where you’re going to take him.” … “I love Kris Boyd as a kid. He’s just so damn straight forward — for better or worse. And I find it refreshing. He knows where his strengths and weaknesses are. I think he’s coachable. And he needs work. But if you can be patient as a team and bring him along behind an aging veteran, you could have a gem on your hands in a few years.”

April 27, 20196 yr https://www.vikings.com/news/vikings-select-texas-db-kris-boyd-in-the-7th-round-of-the-nfl-draft Brutal Strengths Big and strong for a cornerback Plays with toughness and attitude Good job with hands in bump-and-run Can give receivers a rough ride over first five yards Crowds and bodies up receivers downfield Takes good angles to play the catch-point Adequate downhill burst to close Active, strong hands make contested catches difficult Decent job at recognition from zone Willing, physical tackler who doesn't need help Strikes with heavy pads when he gets a shot Will track and tackle out of his area Weaknesses Slow, clunky backpedal Tightly bundled hips and lacks fluidity Inconsistent lateral steps to adjust to receiver's release Too easy to shake from press for quick targets Labored hip flip in his transitions Recovery burst below average once beaten Lacks athleticism and closing burst to turn breakups into takeaways Glitchy with lateral movements from off-man Doesn't find football with back to it Prone to pass interference penalties downfield Inconsistent leverage against the run
