I keep reading that Marshawn Lynch ran slow, as slow as 4.52, but the USA Today, and my local paper, are both reporting that Lynch ran an OFFICIAL 4.46 on his fastest 40 and that Peterson's 4.38 is now officiall a 4.40?

The sites reporting 4.52, say Darius Walker ran a 4.57, but NFL Network and ESPN both reported Walker killed his stock by running in the low 4.6's.

Are they still reporting hand times by scouts? I don't have NFL Network now so I don't know if theyr'e electronic timing or just handtiming?

Thanks that's the list that my paper and USA today reported too. So Peterson ran a 4.40 and Lynch a 4.46. they don't show Walker on there but I'm assuming it's 4.6 ish since they have the other times the same as the site reporting that for Walker.

Oh to be 20, running a 4.4 40 with a 38 inch vert like Adrian Peterson!

My local paper says the Packers are really high on Lynch and he'd love to be reunited with Aaron Rodgers but he also repeated he'd love to play for the Raiders.

Gonzalez from Ohio State to me helped himself a ton, Cbus has been telling us all year he's better than Ginn and his combine really made a case for him moving up in the draft. Too bad Ginn didn't run I would just love to see his 40 in a "peer reviewed" situation as opposed to at a pro day where it's not on a level field with everyone else at the combine.

There's not much I agree with Cbus on; he is a Buckeye afterall. ;) I agree here though, Gonzalez will be better pro than Ginn. Ginn has pure speed, Gonzalez has talent and a great work ethic!

I agree. I think that overall Gonzalez will be the better pro.
