Heywar Bey 4o Yard Dash Time

[raven43]

he ran a 4.29!!!!

he wasn't even the only person to rununder 4.3! liek three people did. 4 ran under 4.4! this has got to be one of the fastest receiving classes ever.

[bce086]

Yea its nuts, im watchin too

[Marcus]

Sportscenter just said 4.26

Get em Ozzie!

I don't take anything in the Combine in consideration, not even the 40. During training camp, they didn't pick me to be on the Big 10 team, because of two reasons:

1.) I am usually bad at the beginning of the year (my ankles and knees have tendonitous)

2.) I'm bad at drills. Half of my skill is reading plays (safety/MLB) and most drills are all form.

DHB = Patrick Johnson. Remember him. Second round, very fast, track star, can't run routes and hands of stone. Please don't make the same mistake twice. DHB has slightly better hands than Patrick, but you get the idea.

Macklin will be 10 times the pro that DHB will be. Nicks and the Rutgers kid will be better too and can be had at the top of round 2.

DHB in round 2 or 3 makes sense, but some moron franchise will be impressed by his 40 time and will draft him at the top of round 2.

Remember Boller, the combine warrior? Let's not make the same mistake again, please!

I'm pretty sure the Ravens staff can judge talent.....

Hense Joe Flacco, Ben Grubbs, Haloti Ngata, Terrell Suggs, Todd Heap, Ed Reed, C Mac, Mark Clayton.
All pretty good first round pics besides Boller.

So if they draft DHB i'm sure he'll be a great WR

I wouldnt worry about it. If Crabtree still goes in the top 5, DHB will go to Oakland. You know Al loves guys with speed.

The two wr's we've drafted in the first round to this point havent worked out. Travis Taylor= BUST. Mark Clayton is getting dangerously close to being a bust as well. And I am pretty sure that to this point the best wr's in Ravens history were not drafted by the organization, in fact none that we've drafted to this point have panned out. No doubt we had a great F.O. but drafting wr's isnt a strong point for them and their track record proves it.

We need a Wr..I said Percey Harvin and someone shot me down....I guess any of those top named 4.4 plus Wideout would work...Brian Rabisk is looking good!Maybe we can get him early in the second round...

I think Al would rather have the number 1 Corner in the draft then the number 5th wideout...

[Lets_Go_Joe]

Kenny Britt had a 37 inch vertical jump, and 23 reps on the bench, hes a strong receiver. To put that in perspective, Michael Oehr the 6'5 Lineman put up 21 reps. Britt may not be a blazer, but I think hes gonna be a great player for whoever picks him up.

I can't say I am all that suprised about DHB running a 4.29 and 38.5 vertical jump. Dude was a track star, so of course he will run well and test well at the combine. I am just not sold on his route running, which is the same problem a lot of people have with him

[RoflDogs]

What did Britt and Nicks get?

I've been shouting the praises of Britt for a long time now. He put up some impressive numbers today, but i don't really care about the combine. Put the tape on of this guy and you will see him make plays on every level of the field. I feel he will be one of if not the best WR drafted out of this class.

I think with his combine he helped himself.

He just rocketed into the Top 15 of the 1st Round. I'll be shocked if he dropped lower than 18 after that. Anyone know what Hakeem Nicks ran?

[MKdave]

Did any body see that 210 pound reciever that jacked up the 225 27 times? It was more than alot of offensive lineman.

[ravensandhoos]

Patrick Johnson's NFL combine 40 time was 4.35 seconds in 1999. He was drafted #42 overall and had a grand total of 60 catches for the Ravens in 5 years. That's an average of 12 catches a year.

DHB=Patrick Johnson

yeah but Pat Johnson was tiny. DHB has good size and he can get up too.

good size can jump run ...... very good developmental pick but if he continues to do well in the combine he wont be there for our pick anyway possibly

We can't afford a "developmental pick" with our #1 this year.

[Toreno]

DHB is nothing like Pat Johnson.

[20ReedsAll]

I just hope that all other teams are thinking the way most people on these forums are so DHB can fall to us. It seems like people are getting on bey just cuz he is fast, as if those who want him are simply looking at his speed.

He does not have bad hands by any stretch of the imagination, and he solidified his great hands at the combine today.

Guarentee: DHB will be the second most productive reciever out of this years draft (2nd to only Crabtree)

[FerrariFan87]

Officially, Heyward-Bey ran a 4.30! He showed good hands too... I think he just got himself drafted in the mid-1st Round, out of reach

I have said plenty of times that i didn't pay much attention to DHB(mainly because he didn't stand out often), but i really don't have a problem with him. My only concern about him is where is his production? A few games i saw he stepped up and played big, but others he would just catch one deep ball and not be heard from again that game.

So the question i ask to anyone that has truely watched DHB in his full time at Maryland: Where is that consistent production you would like for your potential #1 WR.

I would hope the excuse of having a bad offense is not the only reason for this.

[20ReedsAll]

Well, his production was exactly where Chad Johnson's was with Fitzpatrick, or where Steve smiths was last year without Delhome, or where Seatle's WRs was without Hasslebeck.

My point: he had no QB who could consistantly get him the ball. People fail to recognize how a WR's production is a result of a QB who can use him. Is there a Ravens fan out there that wouldn't want to see Flacco throw go, post, or double move type routes deep to DHB? He has hands people!!! Recognize!!! He has size and speed to beat you deep and to get the jump balls. He ran crisp routes at the combine, and caught the ball naturally away from the chest at all times! This guy is a beast!

Really, all the nay-sayers are goin to eat their words when DHB makes someone like Kyle Orton or JaMarcus Russel look like a superstar. The Ravens need to make it a priority to get him in the first. I'd even consider trading up into the teens to pick up DHB. I think he will be the 2nd or 3rd WR off the board.

[Whole-Gash]

We won't be eating our words if he goes before we pick haha. I agree that he can be a beast but there is definitely potential for him to be a bust, but I think it all depends on his mentality and work ethic.

[BloodRaven]

A track star does not automatically make a football player. Remember when Troy Williamson wowed the world with his 40 time?

Big deal.

[Numatic]

DHB is a football player watch his tape oh yeah i dont think he dropped but 1 pass in the combine and he killed some of the top defenses in colledge you people just throw him to the dogs like he hasn't done anything also Mark Clayton is getting good so they could be a duo of speed and size

[BloodRaven]

Every single 1st round bust in NFL history has had some big college games. It means nothing if youre not consistent, now if speed was the most important attribute then sure, hes the best.

But there are reasons why there are about 5 WRs smaller, shorter and slower than him who are going to be picked first.

[Numatic]

stop making up your mind so fast he played against 3 great defenses and had multiple touchdowns in each of them i dont know how you dont like him but you need to start because he'll be the guy in the first round if we go reciever oh and speed is not important guess the titans should release chris johnson speed is the most important you can learn the rest
