Sept. 12, 2009, Florida RB Chris Rainey running with the ball against Troy. Rainey spent the night in the Alachua County Jail and is scheduled for an initial appearance Sept. 14, 2010. According to Gainesville Police, Rainey sent a woman he dated on and off the last three years a text message that read, "Time to die," after leaving her home Monday night.

The media questions and player responses are pretty much the same for each interview. Well, not with Chris Rainey. The guy exudes swag, which certainly is not a knock, but I'll let Chris do the talking.

Kevin: You got to work with the Shanahans Senior Bowl week. What did you learn about the NFL coming out of Senior Bowl week that you didn't know going in?

Nothing. I knew everything. I came from a great system, a great program in Florida. They prepare you for the real life. NFL. Everything. So, ain't nothing different.
OK, so wouldn't he have been coached up to respond with something like, "Just working extra hard...staying focused...blah blah"? I dig deeper...
How was your relationship with (Redskins RB Coach) Bobby T over Senior Bowl week and what feedback did he give you?

Umm....(8 second pause). Great coach. Umm. Laid back. All he said was 'Do your thang.' That's all.
That's some fine coaching right there. Rainey's stats are very impressive over his 5-year career, but he's been arrested, so he carries that baggage. Check out the picture caption for more details on that.
What's your faster 40?

4.23 at Florida. And that was on grass. And this is turf here so I know I'll run faster than that.
Stay tuned for this 40.

If Tommie Streeter didn't have off the field issues, after he runs a sub 4.45 at the combine I think he would have had a chance to go top 20.

I still think if he blows up the combine he's going to be reached on in the first round.

What are his off the field issues? didn't know he had any.

So now Tommie Streeter and Juron Criner are going in the first round?

ATLDirtyBirds · 02-24-2012, 07:54 PM

Tommy Streeter is Malcolm Floyd.

If Malcolm Floyd had elite speed.
And if Criner runs a jaw dropping 40 similar to what Julio Jones did last year and otherwise has an outstanding combine, I could see a team like the Bears going after him in the first.

I think the rank for the top 5 WRs in this draft is still fluid. Some are going to rise based on their 40, other are going to fall.

Yea, I didn't know of any either. He's a body catcher and he has little to no experience running the route tree. One year wonder. I mean he's got the physical tools and there's definitely something to like about his size/speed combo but with how deep this WR class is with more proven guys, I don't see why anyone would gamble on him as high as the first round. I could see him slip into day two on potential though.

FUNBUNCHER · 02-24-2012, 08:42 PM

I thought Streeter had an arrest in HS or at Miami, but I can't find any reference to in on the interwebz, so I'll assume it was my mistake.

Scott Wright · 02-24-2012, 08:52 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am posting the results as I get them at http://www.draftcountdown.com/featur...ne/Results.php. I believe the weights, arm lengths and hand sizes are up for the QB's, RB's, FB's, WR's, TE's, OT's, OG's and C's, plus the bench reps for OL and TE. I should have the heights up by tomorrow afternoon.

Can we expect any insight into the way some of the players looked Scott? I'm curious as to how some players looked at their weights, namely guys like Alshon Jeffery.

For sure. Starting this weekend I will begin updating the "Buzz" page with notes and thoughts on some notable results. As for Jeffery, it's certainly good that he weighed in at 216 pounds. However, you have to wonder if the reason Jeffery isn't running is because his body is drained from dropping a bunch of weight so quickly... No inside info. there, just speculation on my part.

I thought he was running his 40.

I think it is more realistic that Rueben Randle makes that run up the boards.

LSU WR Rueben Randle measured 6-foot-2 7/8 and 210 pounds at Friday's Scouting Combine weigh-in.

Randle also has a 77-inch wingspan. While Randle is more than an inch shorter than his 6-foot-4 college listing, he's two pounds heavier and a rocked-up specimen. He's going to be a top-30 pick if he runs in the low-4.5s on Sunday.

It's unclear if he will be.

My main concerns are:

As Scott points out, is he at a functional weight? Or did he lose weight fast and lost muscle in the process.

How much of this weight can he actually keep off? Or was this just water weight and the like that was dropped off in the week leading up to the combine. when I was wrestling, I could drop an entire weight class in the week leading up to a match; but you better believe that as soon as the weigh in was over I was eating and back up a few pounds.

Will he keep it off? I could lose weight over that stretch of time if I thought it would make me a couple extra million dollars. Will he be dedicated? Will he keep it off after the combine?

Edit: Mike Adams with a 5.3 forty, and looked quick out of the stance

SuperPacker · 02-25-2012, 08:06 AM

I wanna see pictures of Alshon Jeffery! I've seen one and he looked like he hadnt eaten for about two weeks lol.

It will be interesting to see what he looks like in the shorts doing the drills.

PossibleCabbage · 02-25-2012, 08:07 AM

I need to recalibrate internally to figure out what a good OL 40 time is. Initially I saw Mike Adams' (unofficial 5.38) and figured "well, that's not good"... but then I realized, is it?

Watch the 10 yard splits.

You want to see them out of their stance and how fast they can get to that second level.

EDIT: Also I wish that Adams ran a 4.3 forty :P

SuperPacker · 02-25-2012, 08:09 AM

Didnt he use to be fat?

Miaoww · 02-25-2012, 08:10 AM

It's always nice when you can say, with 100% certainty, that you look better than a pro athlete in lycra.

God bless the O-linemen.

TACKLE · 02-25-2012, 08:10 AM

No sleep but a night filled with Mad Men, R Kelly, Shaggy ended off with a big McDonalds breakfast has me ready to rock! Being up at 6AM is the price you have to pay if you want to watch 300lb men run around in spandex!

I'd be shocked. He's a one year wonder. He's turned into a fantastic vertical threat for the Canes - but that's after 2 years of doing nothing in Coral Gables.

He might have gone in the 1st round if he stuck around for his senior year and repeated his junior year, but I guess he saw the $$.
