Not sure if you'all are paying attention with basketball at the top of the mind but DTR and Bobo participated at the combine yesterday. Charbonnet and Gaines go today.
DTR ran a great 40 at 4.56. That put him 4th and was a bit overshadowed by Anthony Richardson, the 244 pound QB from Florida who ran a 4.43. Overall, this was one of the fastest (maybe the fastest) QB groups ever at the combine with 4 guys running sub 4.6 and all 7 guys who ran were a sub 4.8. DTR's 10 yard split of 1.51 was even more impressive. That tied him for 1st among QBs and put him on the upper end of DBs and WRs. To put it in perspective, his 40 time would have finished 1st or 2nd among QBs in the prior 10 combines. His Vertical placed him 8th out of 9. Not great but once again the QBs who tested were well above average. His broad jump was a solid 10'1" which placed him 4th out of 9. His 3 cone and shuttle were not great but not bad either. Not great against the group he was competing against but compared to prior combines we was about average. I was a bit surprised by this but maybe he was taking it easy because he was focused on the 40 and he knew he was going to throw later or maybe he did not train for these events. His throws were a mixed bad. He was good on the short throws but did not stand out when throwing deep. There is definite interest and it looks like he will get drafted. Phili would be a great landing spot. They have a system that suits a QB that runs 8-12 times a game and uses the run game to create easy throws.
Bobo did not complete in any of the athletic testing. He was one of the only WRs to skip the athletic part. He did stand out in the drills with soft hands. He was as smooth catching the ball as anyone else out there. He dropped down to 205 for the combine. It looks like he is focused on being a WR in the NFL rather than bulking up to play TE.
Outside of the UCLA guys and the crazy athletic performance by Richardson, I thought there was some pretty high level QB talent. I would not be surprised to see 5 to 6 guys from this draft class become NFL starters and 3 to 4 start for NFL teams for a decade. The talent is so deep, the best of the bunch may not end up being a big name guy.
