Didn't realize Meriweather ran in the 4.4s.

I'm assuming that's Kenny Phillips and not Randy - Kenny had solid speed.

You're right - here's some recent Miami Safety 40's

Redwine - 4.45
Meriweather - 4.47
Phillips - 4.48
Jenkins - 4.51
Gunter - 4.62
Bush - 4.64
Carter - 4.64
Johnson - 4.69

Canes could use some draft buzz and in season production. Cant rely on using Ed Reed and Andre Johnsons as recruiting tools. Meanwhile LSU is putting dbs in the 1st rd every year.

I don't think the issue with our corners has been straight line speed in shorts...and I don't think anyone serious on here has been saying that either.

The problem is that they get beat too often by guys that are slower than they are, fail to get their head turned around to find the ball, etc.

There was a thread not to long ago about how the speed at DB needed to improve and we needed more 4.4 and 4.3 guys.

Said it last week, Redwine had a really impressive senior year. Far better than Colbert and even Jenkins, both of which have started in the NFL.

He’s got all the tools to be a rock solid player in the show for years.

Athletically Redwine is actually a fairly gifted Safety, his issue up until his Senior year was his instincts.

But the thing I like most about Red is he continues to grow & develop, he's the kind of player that gets better every year, so I expect him to have a solid to good pro career.

I think he'll be better than Deon Bush.

I think he can compete as an in box safety , doesn’t have great measurables or testing numbers but he can play and play pretty **** physical

I hope so - I'm rooting for him

The problem isn't he doesn't have good measurables - it's he has awful measureables. There's just no sugar coating that.

To be that small & that slow - he'd be an extreme outlier. I can see him making a team for sure, I just can't see him actually playing that much.

M Jack & Redwine absolutely killed it today though. That was awesome to see.

I think Quan will be fine in run support. The problem will be covering the bigger tight ends.

A realistic, positive comparison for him is Ricardo Allen. He was 5'9 187, 4.61 at the combine and ended up as a quality safety.

Allen was a proven cover man in college while Johnson was more of a run support forward safety. Skill set is a bit different. Size and athleticism probably similar, but the skill sets differentiate the two.

Jaquan can and will find a role in the NFL...just needs the right team. Moreover the tested athleticism being pretty poor, the size is a major concern. I thought he would have come in a bit bigger and then maybe I could see the 4.7 being more justifiable.
