Those are incredible stats all around. Complete Running Back. If he doesn't get drafted higher after that pro day then there is only
one reason why? Not saying it won't still happen but any team should look at him as an all around back who can play every down
if necessary while also lining up all over the field.

Here is hoping that Carson Steele has an amazing pro day too. I can only imagine what he can bench press and squat!

Rumor is Pittsburgh is looking hard at Shipley. Shipley has a great relationship with RB's coach Eddie Faulkner. Faulkner was at NC State when Shipley was in HS. Faulkner and NC State were the first to offer Shipley. Shipley's parents are NC State graduates.
Not sure if that's a good landing spot or not. Some of ya'll or Don would know better. Thoughts on Pittsburgh?

Awesome pro day for Will, simply fantastic.

As far as the Steelers, I hope they don't draft him. I mentioned in the Steelers general thread regarding WRs yesterday that I hope they don't draft McConkey or Pearsall as they'll likely take a receiver early after trading Diontae Johnson, the prima donna/bonehead who started for them the past several years. Someone like T. J. Watt who's an all-time great can thrive on the Rooney Plantation, and a future Hall of Famer like Big Ben, but there's been nothing over the 17 years of the endless Tomlin reign to indicate that a White RB or WR will be treated even remotely fairly, so I want to see Shipley end up on one of the few teams that might use him the right way.

After Shipley's pro day following his excellent collegiate career there isn't a single reason why he shouldn't be viewed as anything other than starting material. Not one. There isn't a better all-around RB in the draft.

I wonder if the Lions would be interested in drafting him onto the team, maybe as a second or even third string player. It'd make them even more watchable if at least there was one more white on the offense, apart from LaPorta.

Good for Shipley. He needs those type of numbers to get attention.

Also of note was IOL Will Putnam who had a good pro day & may get taken in the mid rounds. Perhaps by San Fran to upgrade on Burford.
6'4 310
5.45-40-yard dash
28-bench press,
4.70-shuttle
7.88-three-cone.

Good showing for Will!

I have been saying he should have stayed in school, but after his all-time great display at his pro day… he is pure Pro Bowl caliber of talent.

As some have pointed out, his high school pedigree coupled with this workout means he quite possibly will be given a legitimate chance.

How incredible would it be for both Shipley and McCaffrey to hit that 1,000 yard mark!

 

[Booth]

I have read that scouts had Shipley running a 4.34 & a 4.38. How they changed that to a 4.45 I don't know. Here is another video of his 40.

Right booth. I saw that as well, but he is getting full credit for 4.39. I'll take that as only 2 running backs at the combine ran faster. May be adjusting as they were hand timing. Combine is laser timed. Generally, there's about an .05-.1 difference depending on who's holding the stopwatch.
booth, Shipley looked a little heavy around the gut. Did you see that or am I imagining something? I think he could've come in a little slimmer. JMO.

 

[sprintstar]

He is definitely faster than CM and has extremely fast lateral movement. He is thick through the gut(large ab muscles combined with an inny belly button) makes him look a bit chubby in the middle. Very high end speed and athleticism....

 

[Booth]

I didn't notice it to start with, but you are right CS. He does have a little belly. Real good catch.

 

[Leonardfan]

The Vikings traded back into round 1 giving them two 1st round selections. My guess is they want the ammo to move to up further or at least have a pick for Nix, McCarthy or Bridgewater Jr.

 

[white lightning]

Great video of Shipley's 40 yard dash. He will be a steal for any team that picks him.

 

[Carolina Speed]

He is definitely faster than CM and has extremely fast lateral movement.

I don't believe he's faster than McCaffrey. I would say about the same speed as 4.39 HH adjusts to around 4.44-4.94 laser timed. McCaffrey ran laser time of 4.48 at the NFL combine. Shipley's vertical and BJ is a little better than McCaffrey's and who can forget CMAC only bench pressing 225 for 10 reps. Shipley had 16 reps. Shuttle's were about the same when adjusted, but CMAC had an amazing 3 cone drill laser timed at 6.57. Way better than Shipley's 6.81 HH. As I stated above, Shipley did look a little soft in the gut and I think he could have come in a little leaner. Might have made some difference in his times. Bottom line Shipley if given the opportunity will be a very good RB in the NFL!

I went back starting at the Hula bowl all the way up to the combine and did a cross check of White athletes eligible for the draft. This is as comprehensive as I am going to get with this.

For some weird reason I can't get any complete results from UCLA's pro day. One article mentions Carson Steele's vertical, 37', but that's all about him. It mentions Safety Alex Johnson's and Carl Jones 40 times of 4.4 and 4.5. Also discusses edge Laiatu Latu, but that's it. I'm concerned Steele ran a bad 40 or didn't run at all. If anyone can find more information, please post.

 

[Logos5]

Not sure if this is appropriate, but I can't imagine white men having the worst combine and being a third round pick

 

[Warhawk_46]

I don't believe he's faster than McCaffrey. I would say about the same speed as 4.39 HH adjusts to around 4.44-4.94 laser timed. McCaffrey ran laser time of 4.48 at the NFL combine.

I think Shipley is faster. His speed has been raved about since high school. He was talked of running in 4.3s then as well.

Despite his shuttle times, I think McCaffrey actually is a step above. Heck he is the best in the league at this athletic skill.

 

[Snow Plow]

I couldn’t find much pro day info for Carson Steele. Someone posted him running the 40 with no time. Another site has 4.50 as the time.

Here is a fairly positive analysis, except he uses many of the cliches like first in/ last out, runs with hair on fire, always has a smile on his face, etc.

 

[Snow Plow]

Here’s the 40…
