Maybe you can get one now. The NCAA made him quit selling them.

Early 40 times coming back for DEs aren't impressive: 4.78 for Maybin & 4.84 for Kruger. On the other hand, as I recall everybody was disappointed with Suggs when he couldn't break 4.7 when he ran for us back in 2003 but he turned out OK.
BTW, why do many insist on calling Orakpo a tweener since he's a carved-up 263 ? 263 is not big enough to playe weakside DE ?

Conner Barwin 6'4" 256 lbs 4.56 forty, 40.5 vertical. Wow

Lawrence Sidbury 6'2" 266 lbs 4.53 forty. Not bad

Everett Brown 6'2" 256 lbs 4.63 forty. Not as tall as advertised. Not bad time.

Aaron Maybin 6'4" 249 lbs 4.78 forty. Not a wow.

Brian Orakpo 6'3" 263 lbs 4.63 forty. Nice

Stryker Sulak 6'4" 251 lbs 4.66 forty. Surprising

Maybin's time wasn't great but he sure looked explosive. And, he's added 15 lbs since December. And, from looking at him, most of that is muscle!

Do you know if Raji ran today? No time listed for him.

Nevermind. I see he ran a 5.13 at 337 lbs.

There is no time for Peria Jerry, though.

Ziggy Hood ran a 4.89 at 300 lbs and Dorrell Scott ran a 4.90 at 312 lbs. I would hate to try to stop that.

so Orakpo is bigger and faster than all of the guys that have been thrown around as possible picks the last month? Not to mention he out-played and out produced all of them.

It's amazing how the all-star/combine season can over analyze things until up is down and down is up.
