Crawford's Combine 40 time

Justin Crawford Runs 40-Yard Dash at NFL Combine

Proved what we already knew about him already. Kid could not take it home...

West Virginia running back Justin Crawford continued his NFL Combine experience on Friday afternoon, running a 40-yard dash in 4.65 on his first attempt. His second attempt registered at 4.61.



Crawford measured in at 5-foot-11 and 202 pounds with 32" arms and 9 1/8" hands. He bench-pressed eleven reps, which tied for the lowest among the running backs.

I saw the one drill where the backs run over the tops of the bags and approaches a coach holding a tackling dummy. The coach will drop the bag to one side or the other and the back cuts in the opposite direction moving laterally until they reach a cone and bursts upfield. He failed to run around the cone and realized the mistake and stopped running. You could hear all the coaches yelling “Finish it”. Not to good for a guy who skipped the Bowl game in order to prepare for the Combines. I wish him luck.

11? I can still do 11 reps...as a matter of fact just did 18 the other day...yes it was with #225....tells us something about the strength coach at WV!!..been saying it for two years know with all the injuries this team seems to pile up..

He should have played in the bowl game. If he spent the last 3 months preparing for the draft, he did not do a good job of it. I’d I’m drafting, I would stay away from anyone who skips their final bowl game. Shows a lack of love for the game and teammates.

Has has a good cut, but that won’t cut it in the NFL.

Maybe in the new XFL?

Does it say something about the strength coach... or the player?

Injuries to the players have not indicated a conditioning issue.

I like the idea. remember "He Hate Me"

Crawford can wear the name "Catch me if you can"

Now the other team may have 10 guys with the jersey "I can"

How else would you correlate it?

Bad luck?

Which injuries over the past few seasons would you connect to S&C?

I can pull another 10 articles with kids banged up not able to suit up on a Saturday last year...notice the artlicle starts out the latest round of injuries...IMHO if a kid is "Knicked Up" its a S&C thing almost 70% of the time..

and one more article...

Injuries, Youth Challenge WVU's Defense

You look at OU or OSU for example...they had easily 80% less injuries last year to their starting lineups..

 

[bbwvfan]

Well... I don’t see the connection.

IMO, the nagging injuries are often related to the location of the injury. Some are slow to heal.

OU and Okie St have/had far better/deeper depth than WVU. It isn’t even close. Our depth was really bad all around last year. Over use injuries occur. When kids get tired, injuries occur.

Exactly..why are they so tired?..Con...di..tion...ing!!!

You gotta point. Without quality depth, our S&C coach needs to have each of the starters ready to play 90 snaps a game. The equivalent of 3 extra games/regular season.

He must suck!

Not even a free agent signing for Crawford. Could have one last game if he played in the Bowl game.

I wish him the best, he is a good person. He has worked his ass off for his family, somewhere along the line he got some bad advice from someone. Wish him the best.

 

[Slaton10]

He was a really good College RB...he is just not built for the pro's..

Crawford inks with Atlanta. Glad he landed somewhere. I do wonder if skipping the bowl game hurt his stock.
