Wow Austin. Did not expect sub 4.4 from him

[vangordersmustache 63]

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.

[D Fence 166]

Wow - good for him.  That time may have just made him some cash

[The Captain 19 371]

Austin was 🔥 

[FaithInIrish Forever 4,704]

Offically 4.43 still fast.......

There a pay article out there just discussing Kevin Austin's combine performance vs production at ND.  Affirming coaching moves -- Balis awesome, Alexander not.

I always though Austin had really good straight line speed.

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.

lots of very fast receivers in new train for the combine sports science performance era. Ohio State had 2 under 4.4 i think

Kyren had a terrible workout. 4.72 and 4.70 in the 40. Hope his game film can get him drafted.

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.

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.

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.

[golson5 176]

4.65 official 40

[vangordersmustache 63]

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?

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.

Not the end the world, still scored a 6.10

Better get with Balis
