I found the complete list at Draft Daddy. WR Amidon out of BC was snubbed. There are 3 wide outs Abbrederis, Campanaro and Janis. Four QBs to keep an eye on for 40 yard dash are Bortles, Johnny Football, Shaw and Lynch.
Folks WE NEED some blazing times this year to curb the
many in the media who want to murder the idea of white atheticism.

Well the cycle of leaving talented white players out of the draft process continues. Here are some notable combine snubs at each position:

QB:
Taylor Martinez (will probably need a position change to WR/RB) - Denard Robinson got an invite and tons of hype - Martinez will most likely never get a shot

WR:
Erik Lora - Jimmy G's team mate at Eastern Illinois
Alex Amidon - explosive BC WR that had amazing hands and caught almost everything
Alex Neutz - one of the MACs best WRs - you would think he would at least gained some attention due to the mystifying hype his team mate Khalil Mack is receiving as a high first round LB pick.

For everyone wondering why the defensive line position seems to never to an in increase in white players.

Josh Mauro and Ben Gardner - two of the best defenders on a top 3 defense in the country last year were not invited. Nor was Beau Allen who played nose tackle in the Badgers 3-4 defense.

At Safety Ty Zimmerman was not invited either - probably one of the best all around DBs in football and prior to the season many "draftniks" projected him as a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Ben Gardner may still be injured.

Did Zimmerman play poorly in the bowl game or something? I remember seeing he was the 2nd ranked FS, not long ago, now they're projecting him as a 7th rounder!! BS

Beau Allen is definitely a head scratcher though. Same with Amidon and Martinez.

its very frustrating these guys played their tails off proving they are elite when compared to their competition over the country. But to be denied a chance to prove their athleticism on a national stage is just wrong. We deserve explanations. First step in making it tougher for the white man to succeed. Just like in HS when guys like jj watt and abbrederis weren't considered good enough for scholarships. Happens all over the country to millions of kids. Those who can overcome have definitely earned it.

Hoping for the best. From high to low here are a few guesses and I do hope at least two whites run 4.3's. Lynch 4.5-4.7
Manziel,Shaw and the three wr's are all in same range for me from 4.36 to 4.59.
Bortles 4.6 -4.8.

Just did a quick head count of total whites who aren't on special teams and got 70. Last year it was 74, year before that it was 66, so pretty much right in the middle.

Thanks for that check Referendum - just further cements proof of the systematic discrimination of white players in the NFL.

Thanks for the numbers...it sure seems odd there is little deviation in the numbers from year-to-year....DE/OLB Morgan Breslin (USC) would have been invited if not for injury.

DB Ty Zimmerman is the Biggest Combine snub! CRAZY! Even NFL.com mentioned this....I saw Zimmerman as at least a 3rd Round pick...does this snub mean he slips to Round 5-7??

Glad to see DB- Daniel Sorenson(BYU) was invited....surprised he was not snubbed too. And DB-Vinnie Sunseri (Alabama)is already healthy & ready to roll again!

Looking forward seeing how Jared Abbrederis(Wisconsin) & Jeff Janis(Saginaw Valley St) do....but after them...After last season's WR gaffe...nothing would surprise me! Alex Amidon (Boston College)had been projected as early as the 5th by one publication. Alex Neutz (Buffalo)could get the Brandon Kaufman treatment...will they see film of him owning Georgia of the SEC earlier this season?? Michael Campanaro (Wake Forest)could sneak into the late rounds...Erik Lora (Eastern Illinios) could surprise!

Early entry QB-Brett Smith (Wyoming) has been a projected possible 5th Round pick....so it is a surprise he was not invited to the Combine!

Should be interesting to see when/where RB Tyler Gaffney(Stanford) lands! Beau Blankenship(Ohio U.) 5'-8" 206 4.45...should be in a training camp despite being snubbed at the Combine...

DT-Beau Allen (Wisconsin) should have been invited!

Jay Prosch(Auburn) is considered the Best Fullback in Draft....They only invited two Fullbacks to the Combine...why wasn't he one of them? They should have invited 3 then...

All of the LB snubs...No Glenn Carson (Penn State)? Andrew Wilson(Mizzou)? Brad Daly(Montana State)? Eddie Lackey(Baylor)...don't count out this under-sized heat-seeking missle who could be the modern day Larry Izzo.

WHO will be this years Paul Worrilow? Undrafted last year...went on to be the leading Tackler for the Falcons(127) in ROOKIE season; despite starting ONLY 11 or 12 games?..... That LB this year could be UL-Lafayette's Tackling Machine Justin Anderson...if he is not drafted...he will still be hard to keep off a 53-man roster!

Well the Combine starts later this week. Get ready for a retread of every year this year - this draft class is deep, tons of caste speak and double talk - blah blah blah. Look for affletes to get their stocks inflated and drafted way earlier than they should be due to the NFL Front offices and GMs not knowing any better and turning into busts. The combine is one of the best illustrations of sport as a social engineering device.

After following the combine for 10+ years it is insane how formulaic the whole thing is. The commentators seem to read from the same script year in and year out. White athletic performances will be downplayed or just plain ignored. Unknown blacks will run fast in a straight line and therefore be drafted before white players. It is insane and asinine how much stock is put into the 40. All the fat sloppy dwfs look for is 40 time.

A few things I am hoping for:
Sewerwater comes into the combine undersized and under 200lbs on the scale
Manziel measures in at 6 feet and runs a 4.5 40 to downplay belief that he is too slow by media and dwfs
Bortles is going to be throwing at the combine so a solid all around performance will cement his status as a top 5 pick
Derek Carr needs to have another solid performance to help his stock that has been on the rise since the senior bowl
Jimmy G needs to show off his immense talent to solidify second round status, building off his momentum in the East-West shrine game and Senior Bowl
Jordan Lynch - run a 4.5 40 and consider a position change to RB
Jared A - NEEDS to run a 4.45 or lower as does Mike Campanaro for any chance at being drafted - last year illustrated this with several white WRs getting screwed over.

Overall if our white QBs perform well it will fight the recent black quarterback push. All the other black quarterbacks that are draft eligible have seen their stocks dip since the end of the season. Thomas, Boyd and Morris were all exposed as frauds at the senior bowl - hopefully they all stink up the combine as well. This year is pretty deep for white QBs.

Manziel measured in a shade under 6 foot at 5'11 3/4. He also weights 207 lbs.

the system hates manziel because he's a dual threat QB who is better than blacks, they can't allow him to thrive

Colt Lyerla ran a sizzling 4.47 40 his first run, the best among tight ends so far.

Lyerla's second run was 4.59; Mike Mayock immediately called his first time suspicious and announced that he is a "4.55+ guy."

Gayboy Michael Sam is talking to the media, which of course the NFL Network is breathlessly covering. Last year, it was all Manti Te'o all the time, this year it's Sam. Such is life in the U.S. of Gay.

Sam is sporting some kind of rainbow nation button.

Colt Lyerla could be a Tailback like Brandon Jacobs was....at Oregon he had 16 rushing attempts/ 94 yards...nearly a 6.0 avg. yard per carry

NFL Network did the "Simul-Cam" for the Fastest TE's....the announcers said(it was obvious) Colt Lyerla looked to have run faster than Ebron...yet the "official time has Ebron 4.60 & Lyerla 4.61:question:

CBS Sports had 13 of the Top 19 TE's white...however at the Combine the more 50/50% politically correct thing was done....

Some specimens at TE...Lyerla, Lynch, Niklas, Fiedorowicz, Jake Murphy, etc...Pederson made a nice grab!

Props to Taylor Lewan 4.85 at 6'-7"+ ...309...Mayock said he was most impressive athlete today!

That's flying for a big guy. If Bill Walsh were still coaching or if he fell to the Hoodie he probably would be used as a tackle eligible on some plays. I was going to say that he could be used as a Fridge type fullback but since any team that drafts he will be an instant starter that really isn't possible.

A similar thing happened last year to Conner Vernon that happened this year to Colt Lyerla. Vernon posted a 4.41 40-yard dash at the Under Armor combine, then "unofficial" times of 4.47 and 4.59 at the NFL combine, only to have his "official" time listed at 4.68.

Add Short-Arm and Barrel Chested as two more caste terms used to describe white athletes. Mayock has also become just another full fledged caste-whore.

Colt was a running back in High School. Basically, he was unstoppable.

indeed he was compared to Brian Urlacher coming out of HS. I saw a couple of "scouts" say his 15 bench reps was not impressive for a TE. Its not but he's no TE more of a Hback/Wr/HB type prospect.

Abbrederis and Campanaro both running 4.44. Manziel 4.56 and Carr 4.65.


Blazing times for Abbrederis and Campanaro. Nice time for Manziel though I thought he was a bit faster. Are these official times Vanilla Sky, or will they magically be bumped up?

Lynch has a disappointing 4.72 though.

I believe they are unofficial, so I wouldn't be surprised if the two WRs are suddenly bumped to high 4.5s. Manziel's time is blazing but I thought he was a bit faster as well. Oh well, his money comes from his agility not his straight line speed.

Boyd ran a 4.75 as an "athletic" qb.
