Is Pryor’s 4.33 40 time legit?
Read an interesting blog that questions the validity of Terrelle Pryor’s 4.33 40-yard dash time, allegedly timed during summer drills at Ohio State.
The author pretty much calls that number a joke, pointing out that only one player ran a faster time in this year’s NFL combine.
Pryor’s fast, but I tend to agree with the camp that says a 4.33 is pretty much Usain Bolt territory. Point of reference: Ted Ginn Jr. ran a 4.37 40 at an Ohio State workout a few years back.
IN OTHER NEWS … The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reported that Bellbrook grad Austin Spitler played at strongside linebacker during Tuesday’s OSU workout, which was open to the media.
It has been thought that Spitler would step in at middle linebacker for James Laurinaitis, but Brian Rolle was roaming the middle Tuesday.
Coldwater’s Ross Homan manned the weakside LB spot.
Certainly, this all could change, but it’s an interesting development on defense.
ON OFFENSE, freshman fullback Adam Homan was playing first-team fullback. Dan Herron was the tailback with Piqua’s Brandon Saine getting some reps.
TODAY, THE BUCKEYES will put on the shoulder pads for the first time. Full pads come out Saturday.
