Denard Robinson NFL Combine

Just a reminder for those who care. NFL combine is starting workouts today. 

Denard will workout with the Wide Outs tomorrow Sunday the 24th. TV is the NFL network. QB's, RB's and WR's all workout tomorrow so the coverage flips back and forth from workout to workout for those of you who do not know about the combine.

His measurables came in at this

Height-5'10 (kind surprised me I thought he was at least 6 foot)

Arm Length 32 5/8"

Weight 199 LBS

Hands 9"

The combine player profile is

Here

Vince is about 5-6". My wife is that tall and they were the same when we met him after a game last season. Denard at 5-10" surprises me. I thought he was 5-9" at fan day last year. Suppose he could've grown an inch since then.

It would be really great to see Denard run under 4.3, but I'm thinking it's more likely he'll end up in the 4.4 range. Usually top-end speed is a function of running with controlled technique as much as effort. I'm thinking the immense pressure will take a few ticks off his time as he may paradoxically try a bit too hard to be fast, if that makes any sense. 

He should still put up a very respectable time if he's healthy. If he runs sub 4.4 in that environment with all eyes on him, I'll be amazed.

Just my humble opinion. 

Go Denard!

There's no set schedule it will be completely random. I'm sure they will show it because he's spotlighted there. A good showing and he can put him self solidly in the second round.

Here's a link to ESPN's Sports Science profile of Denard.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTkFcTTcCF8

 

Some of the highlights:

He's been timed at 4.32 in the 40 (I say that's 0 out of 5 fakes)

Within 4 strides, he's already up to 11 MPH.

In the open field, he reaches 22 MPH

He can decelerate so quickly that he exerts over 3 G's on his body (that's the same amount of force astronauts experience during lift-off)

For more comparison with Best (meant to reply below)  - since they are the same size and both have track backgrounds - Javid Best ran a 10.36 100m and I think Denard's best 100m was 10.44 so one could conclude that their 40 times should be close as well.

5'10" 199 is pretty solid.  I really think he should be looked at as a RB over WR.  The way the Lions used Jahvid Best (who was also 5'10" 199lbs) would be a good strategy with Denard.  There would be less of a learning curve for him than WR and he'd get the ball 10-15 times a game rather than 2-3.  

Just please don't let the Lions draft him and ruin him.

It has clearly been evident that he wasn't 6 foot. Hell, the announcers talked about it all the time. They always spoke about him having a disadvantage not being able to see over the offensive line. And if you ever got the chance to be close around him you could tell he wasn't 6 foot. I got a high 5 from him on Bourbon Street in New Orleans after the Sugar Bowl.

When you run into someone like Denard you don't NOT give him a high five!

for most players who are actually under 6'. Hell, they listed Jamie Morris at 5'7¨ his entire career, and if you've ever stood next to the man, you immediately know he can be no taller than 5'5¨.

Do you know when Shoelace will make his two 40 yard dashs ?

Can't wait to see him. If he wants to be draft in day 2 he will need a pretty good time.

Seems like he would be much more useful as a Javid Best like speed back without the concussions of course.

a.k.a. former Alabama DT "Mt. Cody" at 340 lbs (if he kept one leg off the scale).

I'd love to see Denard superimposed on there.  I'm pretty sure he could carry Vincent Smith on his back and win that race spotting Eisen a 10-yard head start.

A more competitive race would be Eisen vs. Hoke.  I'd go with Eisen by about 3 yds.

If he trained with anyone it was either barwis or the strength and conditioning at UM.  He has been a a few basketball games, so he didn't go down to IMG or any of those combine prep camps.

I might be wrong, but I think the fastest 40 a Michigan player has run at the combine was Leon Hall with a 4.38. I think Denard has a chance of beating that and becoming the fastest Wolverine in the history of the combine.

People really underrate hall as a CB and for his athletic ability. He is really just behind the "elite" corners in the nfl. Maybe he's top 10?

He was an All-Pro a couple of years ago, and I know he's been injured on and off since.  I think people have always gotten on him because he was burned against USC, but that game was a tire-fire from the first snap it seemed.

I wonder if Denard's 40 time comes in slower than expected we may see him not get drafted? Everyone knows he is a work in progress at WR, so if posts an excellent 40 time someone will take him hoping his ball catching skill develop.

This has nothing to do with Denard or Michigan, but I thought it was funny/interesting  considering 3 of them are heading to the NFL and one a probable first-rounder.
