He showed up to the combine and put up horrible numbers. Immediately after running a below par 40 at 4.5 he was deemed to just have average speed as a DB. Only managed 4 reps @ 225. Come on man, he's only 186, but I could get it 6 reps when I was at that BW. As a result, the guys said that he could've trained a lot harder and his draft stock dropped. Contrary to this, he was drafted by Arizona ( I believe it was round 4) and last I heard he was having a decent career.
