Was hoping his 40 time would be better.  

He is not a straight line outside WR. He is a quick twitched slot that can make all sorts of plays.

I think it’s great, and overall a terrific day. 29 teams were at the IPF

Closer to 4.5 and may have been that with electronic timing.  4.47 is fine but something closer to 4.3  would have been better. 

Might as well ran a 2.3... jeez give the dude a break. 4.4 is plenty fast

For what it's worth, UNT football has aged all of us at least 30 years and made us jaded fans. We search every nook and cranny expecting bad things, just like we search our couch cushions for that last quarter to pay for our season tickets, just knowing that there's a hidden push pin waiting to get us. The push pin ALWAYS gets us.

As you can see below from his relative athletic score the only measurable in which he is not elite or close to it is height, weight and bench. The list of NFL receivers below 5'8 that have been drafted isn't a pretty one in terms of longevity or success. That doesn't bode well for him but doesn't mean I doubt him for a second. The NFL awarded ten compensatory picks to teams at the end of the third round for this draft. I don't think he'll go before the end of the 3rd round but he could still be a day 2 pick when comp picks start between 96 and 105. Would really like to see the Ravens pick him at 104, or the Chargers at 97 to reunite him with Guyton.

He is a BEAST!  GOAT OTHER THANK MEAN JOE GREENE, BRIAN WATERS(NFL HOF) and Cedric Hardeman possibly Cody. GMG!   ALSO ROSS HODE is the replacement for MCCasland ONLY and ONLY if he goes to OU or WHOMEVER! GOD BLESS HaYDEN FRY! GO MEAN GREEN!

I cant even start with this post... and his name is Ross Hodge.... not Hode.
