poor mans t.y. hilton lol

I bet you theTexans want their own T.Y. Hilton and pickup Dorsett in the draft.  If you can't beat em then join em!

That would really be funny to me if they did that.

Everyone improves their 40 time at their pro day.

Don't joke about that...  Phillip Dorsett could turn out to be a nightmare for us to cover...

As Wig has noted,  almost everyone improves their times at their Pro Day.

 

It's the difference between a hand time (holding a stop watch) and an automatic time (a computer)....

 

With hand times,  reactions are slower so times are faster....

He is bigger than TY. I think he could become a great wide receiver in the NFL. He is a great route runner to boot!

I even improved my time at home....from chair to fridge by a matter of milliseconds...

You don't have anything on my bed to toilet sprint

Dorsett's going to be a superstar. Mark it down. He's one of my favorite WR's in this class. He'd be a good fit for the Eagles in the 2nd.

Thanks for this.....

 

For whatever it's worth....   when the NFL Network was covering the combine (before this year when the switched to fully electronic) they were first reporting hand times,  and then,  nearly an hour later would come out the adjusted times and they were typically .05 to .07 slower.

 

So,  if you ran 4.50 hand timed....   it was typically officially recorded as 4.57.

 

Very weird and very frustrating....    someone might pop a really fast time (sub 4.4) and there was greaty hype and buzz about it,  and then an hour later when the "official" time was given,  suddenly it was much slower and it felt like the air was let out of the balloon...

 

At least those days at the combine are now over....   but still need to be mindful about the difference between the combine and the pro days....

Yeah, remember that safety that had a ridiculous fast time posted,I think it was Taylor Mays, and then hours/days/ weeks later, lol the Official time that was released was slower!

But back to Dorsett, 4.25, that's moving! Regardless what he really may have run he's a burner.

Watch out for this kid, I truly believe he is going to be something in the NFL. His tape shows he has the speed, route running ability, and after catch ability to be something. Definitely someone teams will have to account for with his speed.

[UKColt13]

You have to take pro-day 40 times with a pinch of salt.

 

Everyone runs faster at their pro-day than at the combine.

[lollygagger8]

I hope the Texans don't snatch him up and put him on Toler. 

[ColtJax]

There's a reason why he was considered a very late round pick before the combine. He runs fast, but on the field he doesn't play fast. He runs very poor routes and has stone for hands. If he goes before the 5th teams fell in love with his 40, just like the Raiders did with DHB..

CBSsports has him projected in 2-3 RD. Your right about his hands, they say he had lots of easy drops.

[ColtJax]

Yep, that's what I was talking about. Kid blew up at the combine and showed fast straight line speed. Teams tend to over think and reach for these guys, they do it every year.

[Qwiz]

These athletes are going to be running 4.0 and 3.9 40s in ten or so years lol.
