vangordersmustache 73 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I expected 4.4.. this time does not surprise me. When you watch him in open field he could blaze. Injuries and lack of understanding at the position cost him from being a day 1 or 2 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd1989 220 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 There a pay article out there just discussing Kevin Austin's combine performance vs production at ND. Affirming coaching moves -- Balis awesome, Alexander not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndomer4 512 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I always though Austin had really good straight line speed. Edited March 4, 2022 by ndomer4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affirming coaching moves -- Balis awesome, Alexander not. I don’t know if this was really an Alexander issue or Kelly. Either way WRs have been underperforming at ND just to go into the league and explode for over a decade now. (Explode might be a slight over exaggeration) Hopefully this ship is now righted and these dynamic playmakers ND keeps getting might actually do something while still at the university and before their Senior year.

It’s also been a QB issue. Book could t read a defense and was terrified to throw down field or any 50/50 balls. Coan had numerous near misses with Austin and Austin had several key drops last year that would have certainly helped his stats. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithInIrish Forever 2,763 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 lots of very fast receivers in new train for the combine sports science performance era. Ohio State had 2 under 4.4 i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDIrishFan 606 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Kyren had a terrible workout. 4.72 and 4.70 in the 40. Hope his game film can get him drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I expected 4.55-4.6ish.. but not that high. I thought he looked a lot quicker and faster last year then this. But, always assumed it was our Oline. last year when he outran Clemson, I thought this kid has to be 4.5… I didn’t see that this year. some guys are game fast vs track. I think he has a lot of skills teams are looking for. But, no way he goes 2nd round like some thought. He may be lucky for 3rd round. This past years numbers don’t help him at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he always reminded me of Dairus Walker and that is what Darius ran. I think his high school verified time was high too. He is very good in terms of make you miss lateral quickness and his compete level is off the charts. Wish he woulda waited for next year to have his degree to fall back on.

Wish he woulda waited for next year to have his degree to fall back on. His time was adjusted to 4.65. Thought he’d be faster than that. Speed isn’t his game. Cutting and elusiveness, balance and hard to tackle. That should be enough. Oh and pass blocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vangordersmustache 73 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Did he not do the 3 come drill , etc? I figured he would perform better at those. He was always quicker then fast. What was his 10 yard split? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndomer4 512 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 6 hours ago, golson5 said: 4.65 official 40 I’m not sure anyone thought he’d run a blazing forty time, if there is any knock on him it’s his top end speed. That is bad though. Anything over 4.5 for a back isn’t good unless your bigger and a power back. I think he would have been better off skipping the 40 if he knew he was going to run a time like that.

tneun89 421 Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 I think people are making too much of Kyren. He was a Top 5 RB on most "experts" draft boards. He can still go Day 2. The tape doesn't lie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still go Day 2. The tape doesn't lie. I didn’t think he would go till the third honestly. This was before this year. And that still hasn’t changed. Although I can see someone taking him in the second. my reason being- running backs are a dime a dozen nowadays. Is he an every down back. -Nope. Is he a third down specialist -Probably. But being that is that worth a Day 2 pickup? Williams also reminds me of Darius Walker in the sense that he’s not a blazer, a patient runner, likes to use fakes but not overly elusive. He’s a strong back for college but in the NFL he’s not going to fall forward as much as he did. He’s not that big. Also, with his style of running he’s at best a Leveon Bell runner. But he better hope he has that Pittsburgh line and offense. Once Bell left he has become a nobody. That’s what scares me with Williams. He’s going to need that perfect system like Bell-like Walker to have a long career. There’s my Mel Kiper evaluation. I’m no expert by any means and I hope for the best for him. I just don’t see it. That’s why his grade isn’t surprising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT he will go in the 1st round and have a chance to start, The 4.59 explains why Kyle spent a brief time as a 3 star recruit for some recruiting services. 6.88 was the highest number any prospect was given this year. His film will speak loudly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
