    It’s not classless....hell we all laughed last year when the OU lineman got called out for his miserable combine performance. LJ made a mistake in leaving, and his 1st job interview didn’t go well. Fa

Not super impressive for a guy who’s essentially a walking muscle

LJ should have come back for his senior year...dammit.

He’s not going to get any faster. 

4.38 second pass.  Dude is a freak.  Can he catch???  Zombie Al Davis says, “ I don’t care.”

DK Metcalf is a freak. 4.33 40 time.

At 6' 3", 230 lbs. That's just disgusting.

Kudos to whoever managed his S&C

I think he's closer to 6'4", 240 lbs. But still insane. Read the article at the link I posted above - it mentions the group that turned him and how he hated giving up strawberry milk.

Just for the record, there is zero chance Metcalf is at sub 2% body fat. I don’t know what method the combine uses but he is likely closer to 6-8%. Kind of laughable that it’s been reported as such...

Elite bodybuilders don’t even get close to 2%. As far as I know it would be potentially fatal to be that low.

Good - I hope this means an additional good defensive player or Hockensen drops to 17.

Someone seriously wants the most athletic DT since Sapp to try LB? Who are these water headed clowns?

Didn't watch any Ole Miss football really. How much of a game changer was DK Metcalf? I get the 40 time and his physique but how good was he?

Just came here to post that. Wouldn’t some of his organs stop working if he had less than 2% body fat?

LOL at this comp...Megatron was an absolute stud on the field at WR at Ga Tech.  Metcalf looked like JAG too many times at Ole Miss.

He was solid but nothing mindblowing. AJ Brown was their WR1 and the truly special talent.

He did do this after scoring in the Egg Bowl, which was just delightful:

 67 catches for 1228 yards and 14 TD's in 3 seasons.

 

edit; He's not Megatron and the comparisons are dumb.

Yeah, Megatron’s college numbers were incredible when you consider the type of offense he played in

What a fucking douche clown. 

Running a 4.35 40 at 6'5" 240 and at 6'3" 230 is totally different. 

Also Megatron was the most gifted all around WR in NFL History (come @ me) and tore it up in college.

If you didn’t hear much about him playing in the SEC/ESPN, that pretty much answers your question. Maybe it changes in the NFL

Randy Moss says hi as does his production.

Ohio State with 3 of the top 7 wide receivers in the 40.  Campbell - 4.31, McLaurin - 4.36, Dixon - 4.41

Shit... we could debate Moss/Calvin until the sun came up. 

But yeah, just my opinion. Calvin was a bit more physical and a bit better in traffic. Randy was a better deep threat and TD scorer.

So the argument QBs make about not throwing at the combine, is they want to throw to their WRs. It makes sense as it takes time to build that timing and connection. 

But why don’t the WR ever use that excuse?

13 reps on the bench for LJH.

33.5 vertical

9'11'' broad jump

4.29 short shuttle

LJH and Collin Johnson both are guys who make contested catches instead of creating separation. I'm maybe a little surprised LJH ran a 4.75, but I didn't expect him to do all that well at the combine. Lots of people thought it was a stretch taking him out of high school due to his lack of position and lack of elite athleticism. He's proved people wrong once before, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he does it again in the NFL if he gets his shot. Dude is still pretty damn new at WR and is already good at the little things. That shows elite instincts and work ethic.

How's that shuttle, comparatively?

Also, not to knock the kid, but all those talking about his work ethic do remember he's been suspended a couple times, right?

Edited by texifornia

His best trait is fb IQ and that does not get rewarded with below average testing numbers. Too bad, hope he makes it to 2nd contract and gets paid along with full pension.

He's down to 210 lbs. I doubt it's a work ethic issue.  He's just not a combine athlete... he's a game day athlete.  He's going to drop unless he can rehabilitate those numbers in a serious way at Pro Day, but he'll make a roster.

Eric Nahlin has some interesting comments on our S&C regime, in the wake of today's combine. Apparently Texas hasn't been focusing on upper body like they do lower body, and it showed today.

He thinks LJH goes in the 6th round.

The little things? He's not a great route runner, he does catch the ball well though.

That shuttle is underwhelming, he'll need a strong pro day to get drafted.
