Rumph was a bust considering where he was drafted because he was tall, stiff and slow kind of like some of the guys he’s recruiting. He wasn’t a “prototype” at all. He was overdrafted.

Unfortunately, some coaches recruit kids who remind them of themselves. Rump was a tall, cerebral CB who couldn’t run. Shannon made a habit of it especially at LB.

I think the times are getting more reliable with the laser timing at the big combine events. That’s why we’re seeing more slow times for skill guys instead of everyone just claiming they’re a 4.21 forty guy. 4.9 for a 160 pound kid should, at the very least, be a major concern to any program...

I don’t get “overly concerned” with 40 times, but I do pay very close attention to times that are exceptionally bad for a skill position. A 4.9 at CB is almost, on its face, a disqualifier.

Happy for Hodges, but for such a skinny kid you’d hope for a 4.5 guy at least. 4.9 is a real concern no matter how much people like him personally. You’re not going to get in that upper echelon of college football signing painfully slow CBs and WRs.
