Pierce with a 4.33 and Philips with a 4.50.
I believe he had the same vertical and 40 as Metcalf. Are WR’s not doing the 3 cone? Haven’t even heard it mentioned today. If they did I’m sure he would do much better than Metcalf did.Pierce also had a 40.5 vertical! At his size I wonder how his showing compares to that of D. K. Metcalf a few years ago. That and Metcalf's "adonis physique" had Caste drafters drooling big time.
if i’m not mistaken, the agility drills will be tomorrow for the wideouts.I believe he had the same vertical and 40 as Metcalf. Are WR’s not doing the 3 cone? Haven’t even heard it mentioned today. If they did I’m sure he would do much better than Metcalf did.
Good comparison that no one will make!
Alec Pierce runs a 4.33 at the combine......Nice
Willis has gone from a mid to a 1st round lock and he hasn't played against anything close to Power 5 conference players, they site Josh Allen comparisons but Allen is a traditional size, Willis is short and much lighter than Allen.It’s a shame Tanner Conner did not get an invite. That would have been another White athlete that put up impressive numbers. As @Bucky stated - they have to control the narrative.
Ive certainly grown out of having any sort of excitement or major interest in the combine - it’s more of a sideshow and I find it more bizarre every year how inflated a players stock can be based on what they do over the course of a few hours. The same predictable group think goes on every year from the dwfs - same responses different affletes. My guess is the “experts” and DWFs will try to tear down Kenny Pickett from now until the draft while hyping up Malik Willis.
The numbers shuttles for Bolden and Phillips will be interesting to see. How many of these black WRs running fast 40s will amount to nothing in the NFL?
Borghi’s workout will be important obviously tomorrow.

Willis will have to roll out and play similar to Wilson because of this. He has boom or bust written all over him because of his extremes.
PS casteon stooge Eisen seemed like a white collar worker who found a new hottie and the local gentleman's club that he could drop thousands on as he described Willis...
Ridder isn’t the worst QB in the world but if Pierce was on a team like Ohio State he could’ve been an All-American. On the bright side, his low career catch total means he has taken less of a beating than a lot of other guys.Re watched the Bama vs Cincy game to focus on Pierce. He had 2 catches for 17 yards, but if you watch the film (especially the first drive) there were 5 instances that I could see where Pierce either was wide open and the ball got batted at the line or Desbum Ridder missed him. Additionally, there was a terrible call missed in the middle of the game where he beats the corner and CB holds him very blatantly, no call, you can see Pierce yelling at the ref in the film too. Easily could have been a 5/75/1 (probably more) night for Pierce against Bama if he had a good QB
During the QB drills I also noticed that the commentators are quick to give the receivers credit unless it's Malik Willis then it's all of his throws are amazing. Glad we are able to see through it here.
