CSIII ran a 4.53 at the combine.  But I think he was still recovering from a hamstring injury he got at the Shrine Bowl.

MTU is hosting a Pro day on 3/16/11, we'll see what Shorts runs then.

Shorts was a Top Performer at WR for these "events" at the Combine:
Bench:  21 Reps - 3rd
3 Cone:  6.50 - 4th
20 Yard Shuffle:  4.07 - 5th

Other Results (from NFLdraftscout.com):
40 Yard Dash:  4.50
20 Yard Dash:  2.54
10 Yard Dash:  1.59
Vert:  34 1/2"
Broad:  9'6"

40 Yard Dash before Combine: 4.34 - 4.43 - 4.54

According to a league Source, Cecil Ran a 4.34 and a 4.41 40 at his Pro Day:

Stop the presses, Dad...your source said he ran 4.35, not 4.34. Didn't think anybody would check, did you?    
A 40 yard sprint between CSIII and Lane Olson would be basically a dead heat. Who'd a thought that was possible?

Sorry typo, didn't check my work prior to submitting.

Shorts ran his 40 outside, 37 degrees and raining on Field Turf:  http://yfrog.com/jc59550667z

Where did Olson run his 40 at the UW-Madison Pro Day?

At the end of the day, all that will be remembered are the times recorded, not the conditions.

But, being that you brought it up, aren't you at all a little perplexed or find it odd that he elected to run his make-up 40's knowing probably full well that mother nature would make conditions less than ideal? It still is March in Ohio, right?    What do you suppose his motivation was to run under these conditions when probably none of his WR comrades would even consider it? Seems to me it's a self-imposed disadvantage.

bobo....you safe over there....any worries about the quake stuff

Other than the fact the peninsula moved 1-5 cm (depending on location) closer to China, we're fine. Thanks for your concern!!

One of my employees is originally from the Sapporo area on Hokkaido. His family that is still residing there reported only a minor tremor and no damage from the quake or the tsunami.

Interestingly, not all Koreans are sadden by the events in Japan. There is a segment of the population that feel this is payback to the Japanese government for the past brutality inflicted on the Korean people that the Japanese government has never really apologized for. It's a deep wound that may never heal completely to many Korean.

By us, perhaps, but not by scouts, if they're doing their jobs.

No idea why he did that.  They do have the Guilling Center where he could have ran.  Unless there isn't enough room in there to run the full 40.

I suspect he just wanted to improve on his Combine time and didn't care where he ran it.

No one that doesn't have UWW blinders on.

^ Looks like you've put the WIAC message board into a late winter/early spring slumber with that comment, skunks...WTG!!

BoBo,

Hope all is well over there! +k  The radiation reports from Japan are a big concern!

BoBo,

It certainly is a major concern for Japan. Our biggest concern each spring is the yellow dust blowing from China. Our winds always blow from the west/northwest. That yellow dust can really clog your pipes. Makes breathing difficult for children, elderly, and those already with breathing difficulties. Simply annoying for anyone else. Cars left uncovered get caked in it too. Luckily, we have an indoor parking garage. But I still place a cover over our vehicle to protect the finish. The sand is very small, but quite abrasive nevertheless. Any radiation from Japan will probably be detected in California more than here. +k back at ya!! Time to start talking some football!! 

[Raider 68]

BoBo,

Agree, it seems that all the boards have gone very quiet. Any Warhawk updates on Pro- Day work-outs?

[BoBo]

^ Raider, I'm not aware of anything new.

[robertgoulet]

Not sure how many (if any) of you care, but I posted Matt Wenger's (NCC LB) pro-day stats over on the CCIW board, there is also a link to a video of his workout as well.

[voice]

Mr. Goulet - outstanding Pro Day for Wenger. I hope his height doesn't prevent an NFL team to give him a free agent contract.

As far as UW-Whitewater's Lane Olson is concerned. He also caught the eyes of NFL scouts at the UW Pro Day.  Lane's numbers actually were on par, or better, than the Wisconsin Badger players participating in the 3/10 Pro Day.

Veteran sports columnist Gery Woefel of the Racine Journal Times had the following on Olson a (Racine Horlick grad) (Olson portion of column is about halfway down)

I didn't realize that Olson was only 5'9. He put up extremely impressive numbers. At the very least he should get invited to a few camps (assuming the NFL gets there crap together and they have camps this offseason).
