Which is dumb considering Donald was more undersized and has the same arm length as Mad. And Donald was a first rounder

i mean tbf - donald's college tape was absurd - the fact he somehow made it out of the top 10 is ridiculous
madubuike was heavier than him coming out which is a benefit and is athletic
but it shouldn't be understated just how unbelievably explosive and quick aaron donald was/is - madubuike smashed the combine - and donald destroyed him in all the speed metrics easily
agree, but it was a very deep draft last year and that's how he was pushed down the boards. Never should have been available when we picked him though.

Aaron Donald was exceptionally dominant though, like athletically and power wise he was just completely unstoppable.
love how physical he is. Boykin should take some lessons.

Plot twist: your alias is Edgar Allen, or you’re family with Edgar Allen. Either way, very good stuff
I think Bateman runs a legit 4.4… he just makes it look so smooth and natural that people don’t expect that from him and think he’s slower based on the ole eyeball test. Remember folks, being an elite WR doesn’t mean you’re running full speed every play; the truly elite ones know how to change their pace up for various routes and various plays
He ran a 4.4 at his proday so he likely in the 4.5-4.6 range.. either way, once gets that step on you, he fast enough that he gonna be open
at worst some of those pro day times you can add about .05 onto them (which is what some analytics guys did for their models) - but realistically they're going to be the most realistic pro day times ever because of the laser timing done this year at all the pro days (all by the same company that does the combine)
bateman ran a 4.39 at his pro day - in reality we dont know for sure but it's likely that he ran no slower than a 4.44 and probably did run close to a 4.39

Yes sir. He went all out speed wise in that because that’s what you’re supposed to do. I’m telling ya, he really is that fast. Wasn’t he injured a bit last year?
yeah but was able to spend much of the offseason training for the 40 (just like most of the WRs)
Im 100% sure he dnt really run a 4.39 though.. not a single one of those 40 times were accurate. I mean we know whose fast frfr but those times arent accurate enough for me to say they ran such and such. I knew before hand everytime would be lower, it happens all the time.. i doubt theres a single nfl player who ran slower at their proday than combine
He might be fast but he dnt run a 4.39..
