NFL combine

Honestly better than I expected.

Yep. Emmett was the slowest back there, but in all seriousness, it was a good day for him. Nobody thought he was going to run a 4.4. His appeal is more about vision, making people miss and catching passes out of the backfield.

On a side note, with next year's backs I think Nelson will do some of the things EJ can do and he's faster. I think that's what Dana was eluding to. Not saying that he'll be as good as Emmitt next year, but he's shown good ability.

Allen is a stud.

And Singletary is just as good. But I think he broke his foot or something so his stock fell. Penn State really was loaded last year. We really were very unfortunate that Penn State woke up and played their best game against us last year. I don't know what the hell was going on when they lost to UCLA and Northwestern.

Here's a fun note about a guy who played for our new DC Aurich last season: Amazing stats

Corbin Smith’s top cornerback in the NFL Draft​

“My number one corner, it’s not one of the guys that’s being picked in the top 10 in all these mock drafts:Chris Johnson from San Diego State. I absolutely love this kid and he screams Mike Macdonald cornerback. He had a 16.7 passer rating against in coverage this year. That is not a typo. 16.7. Four interceptions, a boatload of pass breakups, didn’t allow a single touchdown, and oh, by the way, has a career miss tackle rate under 6%. He is a dog.

“He gets up field, hits people, very clean tackler, tough-minded, fluid athlete. I’m curious to see how he runs at the combine, but [with] Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe being free agents, that is a natural fit at pick number 32 if he’s there. I could see him being a guy that’s gone much earlier than that, especially if he tests really well in Indianapolis, but I’m a huge Chris Johnson fan.”

Johnson ran really well. I think he jumped from the 3rd round to 1st round consideration. It's clear to me that San Diego State had some very good talent on defense last year.

Man I don’t see it but wish him well. Most NFL teams are looking for home run hitters if they go high for a back. I think he’s too small to get away with his running style in the NFL.

Sorry, I was referring to Chris Johnson a cornerback from San Diego State.
