Apke ran a 4.35!!!


Look at this display with Sanders, Mayock and Eisen all with the typical discriminatory comments. Caste system in play totally. Sanders even comes out and says it.





Apke ran a 4.39 on the second run and they are all laughing and giggling. Mayock just referred to him as a "rare species".

I saw the Apke 40 yard dash post and it was like laying Emma Stone!! Oh Ok not quite (what would be) that GOOD but close. I was all set to play Oscar the Grouch today but Apke just saved the day and without question the highlight of this year's combine.

Funny watching him play this year by the last few games he was stellar and the best defender on Penn State but he was virtually ignored by announcers. Since he showed up on no draft boards I figured there was little chance he would be involved with the draft process. He better be drafted or there will be hell to pay. Not just because he is swift but because he was great on tape all year too.

Maycock had a chance to play it straight but like Don said started snickering. Eisen acted like a slime and Sanders is clearly unprofessional.


But right now nothing can halt the joy I am feeling. It is called DELIVERANCE. Good job Troy Apke. Anyway can someone punch up his second run?

13 did not run the 40
13 affletes ran 4.6 or worse today
19 ran between 4.5-4.6 or worse - when the very few white athletes run a 4.5 or slower at WR or the rare DB invited to the combine they are labeled as too slow. Defensive back is supposedly the position with the most athletes but as we can see from the participants over half of the DBs that ran today are of average or less than average speed.
32 out of 57 participants in the 40 ran what would be deemed an average or below average 4o time for the position which comes out to approximately 56%.

Apke was amazing! To do that at that weight makes it even more impressive. Yet they laugh and mock him.

This is why you need to mute these idiots for the combine, draft and ballgames and give up sportscenter unless
it is on mute. Put on some good music and just enjoy the show. :)

I like Emma Stone but for me it would have to be Kate Upton. Pics please. Hehehe.

See what happens when a white player runs a 4.3 40 yard dash a party breaks out with featured guests like Kate Upton--she has what they call the "goods."

Still waiting for an official time for Apke. I DO NOT trust those bastards and like every year they monkey around with the 40 times conveniently lowering or taking lower times for certain black players. I mean Griffin ran a very suspicious 4.38 and followed with a 4.58 yet his official time was listed at 4.38. Nall ran a 4.67 followed by a 4.51 yet they split the difference and gave him an official 4.58 time. They lowered Barkley to a 4.40 from his 4.41 and 4.42 runs. And that same pattern persists. DE Chubb ran a 4.66 and 4.71 yet his "official" time was 4.65. Marcus Davenport same thing. Runs of 4.61 and 4.59 lowered to a 4.58. Same with hybrid Jarvis Landry who ran a 4.65 and 4.7 yet somehow gets an official 4.64.

So if they follow that procedure with Apke he should be listed at 4.32. And that is not going to happen.

Worth noting WR Devon Wylie ran a 4.39 at the 2012 combine and of course as mentioned above the fantastic WR Ryan Swope smoked a 4.34 in 2013. Those were the last two sub 4.4 white players from the NFL Combine.

The only white DB invited ends up being top5 performer at his position. The pattern of pale faces having to be elite to get a shot continues.

The sub 4.3 white athlete would be a lot less rare if the sample size weren’t so small and constricted by the caste system. Today’s display by Mayock, Eisen and Sanders is hard evidence of the caste system. I have read a few stories about Apkes 40 time and the comments seem to show some more folks becoming aware of the discrimination.

Mayock’s anti-white antics show how he has finally and totally sold his soul to the caste system. From defending Brian Leonard a decade ago to laughing and making racially tinged remarks about a white safety who ran a 4.35.

Who are the best White WR's in this years draft? That guy Coop was outstanding last year for the Rams.

The Apke moment. A dagger right to the heart of caste central. A silver bullet nailing the Wolf man. A knife in the heart of Dracula. Getting through the mote and storming the castle. I know it is an isolated case but it still throws cold water on the black supremacist crowd and it is a welcome sight to say the least.

It also shines a light on the question as to why there are so few white DBs anymore and correlation between the horrible DB play that is more black than ever.

Already some of the seers are on the defensive. The draft geeks who rule the internet and influence the draft. One said he does not play at 4.35. Did he not watch the late season game where Troy tore across the field like a bullet to make a game turning stop?

At least the annoying Sanders said he would draft him. There is still resistance. Some are saying he "sneaks" into the 7th round while others are saying he is a fringe 7th round/ free agent.

If one wants to argue and dock him a point or two for being a first year starter fine. But even mixing that into the formula he should be a mid round pick in a fair and balanced world.

The NFL does not want to give up the ghost as they have refused to release official safety times for the first time at this combine. It only took them an hour to RUSH out the official CB times. Ask me and it is because they aren't sure what to do with Apke's 40 yard dash time. This wasn't how it was supposed to go I guess. Perhaps they are thinking white guys should never jump the shark and should stay in their "slow" lane at all times. Messes up the grand narrative.

Other fairly solid sources have him at an "official" 4.34 40 yard dash. But the NFL hasn't made it public. Apke is a perfectly proportioned athlete. I could see him playing CF in baseball at 6'2" and 198 LBs and he isn't loaded with those fake work out muscles that so many of the mostly black players sport. Just an extremely fluid old fashioned athlete who knows how to play football.

Interesting to note there were around 70 DBs here. One trend I have noticed is the NFL Combine traditionally stays away from smaller white players, the very type that might run 4.3-4.4 40 yard dash times. And it is the many smaller black players who typically post the fastest 40 yard dash times year in and year out. Some of them look so slight you wonder how they can tackle. Dontae Jackson who ran a 4.32 40 and has been bragging about his speed all over the place lately is only 5'11" and 175 LBs. Apke was clearly taller and heavier than the other DB's who ran fast times. He not only out ran nearly everyone he was the best leaper of the lot with a 41" vertical.

Last year 5'9" WR Riley McCarron ( one of those short white players the Combine avoids ) burned a 4.36 40 and jumped 40 1/2 inches at the Iowa Pro Day. At this combine their "star" CB Joshua Jackson ran a 4.56 40. Now having watched many Iowa games I NEVER heard an announcer mention McCarron's speed. Not even in passing. As for Jackson that is what I heard every time they played.

As for Penn State broadcasts and I watched every game this past season, Barkley's speed and athletic ability was glowingly mentioned roughly 1,000 times and I am being serious. As for Apke not ONCE. Not anything referring to his athletic ability. Not even an squeak!!!

It will be fascinating to see how the many caste creep scout pricks deal with Apke going forward. I don't want to hear the word FRINGE 7th Rd/ FA ever again with him.

That is just phenomenal! Absolutely sick of Lance Zierlein's lame, boiler plate, non-researched analysis on every single white player. We need to light him up on NFL.com and twitter.

Thanks much. I'll keep my eye out for them.

I watched the replay of the DB Combine last night but somehow missed Apke's second 40 which I think was playing as they interviewed Griffin.

But as they were discussing Apke during the drill, in which he looked as smooth as butter, they brought up his 41 inch vertical and started joking about the "White Men Can't Jump" movie. Too silly for words. It was as if these guys have never seen a fast athletic white athlete ever before. Not the end of the world but common sense dictates you act in a more professional manner but these guys got a little too cute.

That said Apke lit up the other drills as well. A very fast 4.03 20 yard shuttle and 6.56 3 cone was the best for the safeties. His broad jump of 10.9 wasn't too shabby either.

And his official 40 time was 4.34. Just a pure natural talent. I think they said his mother was a sprinter. He will have a pro day but there will be no reason for him to test again so it is a matter of how much momentum he gained from this combine. Arguably the best PURE athlete at this combine I would go nuts if he is not drafted.

The biggest disappointments of the combine include Braxton Berrios pulling a pectoral muscle while bench pressing. A useless event for WR's but like so many white players trying to go the extra mile because they "have to" he might have screwed up his NFL chances. The smaller white player we rarely see at this combine I was looking forward to his 40 yard dash. Quite a shame. Hopefully he somehow recovers and kills on his pro day.

Keep in mind as screwy as the 40 yard dash times are at the combine---half ass assembled---the pro days are even more suspect. My rule of thumb is to add a good .08 to 1.0 second onto the 40 times.

The other disappointments were the 40 times of Quinn and Cantrell. A second faster for each would have made me happy. That said Quinn like Cooper Kupp is a natural and should shine in the NFL. Cantrell performed at a very high level on the drills and given his size it would be deeply disappointing if his name isn't called come draft time. Unless another WR slips in I suspect two white WR's will be drafted.

Apke's athletic ability should cause the media to pause and hit the reset button. One of the prominent black draft gurus was shouting out about the DB's being the greatest athletes on earth as the CB's were finishing up their 40 yard dashes. After Apke performed he went silent.

A great day yesterday.

So Brian O'Neill was the fastest o-linemen in the 40 with Kolton Miller third, Apke the fastest safety, Gisecki was the fastest tight end with Andrews and Hurst tied for third. At quarterback, Whites finished third, fourth and fifth in the 40.

Ryan Nall's time was very good for his size. WR was the only disappointing position, but of course that's a very important one when it comes to the reigning mythology about speed. Whites, especially smaller Whites, could excel as speed receivers, but how many are ever recruited and given the opportunities blacks are? Almost never. Look at a specimen like Jeff Janis who had to play for a tiny school to get on the field. Plus the large number of fast White athletes who choose baseball and other sports over football, where they know the odds are greatly stacked against them.

I have come to the conclusion that Apke is the BEST athlete in this year's draft. And he is a solid football safety with room to get better. Yet his draft status is STILL up in the air. It would help if high profile "gurus" like Mel Kiper start talking him up. Below is a small highlight real of an unreal athlete. He is also involved in charity work so he gets an A for character too.

From weenieworld:

Penn State S Troy Apke posted a composite score in the 99th percentile at the NFL Scouting Combine.

After measuring in at 6-foot-2, 198 pounds, Apke proceeded to dominate the final day of athletic testing in Indianapolis. Among his stellar results, he smoked the 40-yard dash in 4.34 seconds and rocked a 41-inch vertical jump. This outstanding performance was made all the more impressive by the fact that Apke was considered a borderline Day 3 prospect at best in the evaluating ranks. We're betting he's sewn up a Day 3 selection, now.


I am getting Ethan Kilmer flashbacks when I think of Apke. He was the uber-athletic Penn St. DB/WR who walked on and had a short stint in the NFL about 12 or so years ago.

If Apke were black - his lack of playing time until his senior year would not be a criticism due to his testing - he would be viewed as only having "upside".

Everyone always says go to Florida to get speed. One would think then that the major programs (Florida, Florida State) would have speed.

Florida had a corner (Teez Tabor) at last years combine run a 4.62 40 and then run in the 4.7s at his pro day. He was a major 5 star recruit coming out of high school. He was still drafted in the 2nd round.

Florida State had a corner this year (Tavarus McFadden) run a 4.67 40. He was a 5 star recruit and was billed as a 2nd round pick coming into the combine. They also had a receiver (Auden Tate) run a 4.68 at this years combine. He was a four star and a national recruit. He was being billed as a 2nd round pick maybe a late first.

So much for the Florida speed and upside. It's a total myth.

I believe Apke outran all but one of the cornerbacks at the Combine, besides scoring a composite 99th percentile. The talk ought to be about converting him to corner in the NFL and whether he's worth a first or second round pick at that position. Instead the chatter is mainly about whether he'll be taken earlier on Day 3 than previously forecast. The good old anti-White NFL and its enabling media partners and draft "experts."
