    Ja'korian Newson LB with 4.2 speed.

    True. Va Tech is in the mountains, I guess. At high elevations, there is less resistance, so everybody times at world class speed. Less gravity, so on your verticals you stay up about three or four seconds before coming down. Rumor has it that a floater Jacory threw there in Lane Stadium back...

    Ja'korian Newson LB with 4.2 speed.

    Maybe. Who knows? That means they made an error or lied. I dunno. I'd like to see more times for him. The real story would be the game tape and I don't know that it showed anything exceptional. I think I've seen some highly-recruited LBs who just jumped out at me, and this kid didn't. An example...

    Ja'korian Newson LB with 4.2 speed.

    He's in Mississippi. The camp was in Atlanta. And I'm not trying to get him recruited. I just went out, researched him and found the video. I provided it solely for informational purposes and to enable discussion. Whether it's a valid time, I don't know. I couldn't see it in the game highlights...

    Ja'korian Newson LB with 4.2 speed.

    For those of you saying no way he runs a 4.2, then the camp guys are off. They didn't time right, didn't measure the distance right, or something. That's why I posted the camp video: to at least show that there is evidence he was timed at that, no matter whether the actual timing was flawed...

    Ja'korian Newson LB with 4.2 speed.

    Know what you're saying. I'm no expert on performance metrics, if that is what one might call them. The camp people do state a 4.2+, however. He didn't seem to be that extraordinary on that....was it the shuttle, going side-to-side? Seemed to be a little slow to change the direction going back...

    We've had a Jacory, but not a Jakorian. I also saw a Vontavious at that camp.
