  • I really love these stories of our instate kids(even if they have moved) wanting to live their dream of RUNNING THROUGH THE "T". It's nothing like being a Vol4Life!!!

  • Isn't the high 4.5 range a little on the slow side for a DB?

    just depends on his hips and feet...how quickly he can back peddle and transition into turning down field and covering or extending the play... im sure thats what the coaches want to see in person along with his instincts and football IQ all things that can cover up a supposed slow clock time. these things will be apparent to the coaches when seeing him in drills or matched up in one on ones with a receiver.
    also.....
    i think most of us forget just how quick a 4.5 or 4.6 is especially if you can sustain it for the next 40 yards!

    Not particularly, no - especially if it's time electronically and not hand-held. Not all 40 times are created equal.
