I wasnt aware he was considered a mid round pick wa33. I assumed like the other white recievers in the draft he was being thought of as a late rounder at best.
snow said:btw, I highly doubt Newton ran a 4.59, something fishy is up with that, probably more around 4.6-4.62. It just sounds better when it is sub 4.6 because 4.59 will become 4.5 when people talking about him in the future, after he gains 20 pounds of fat in the offseason like Jamarcus they probably will still say "This is an explosive athlete, hes 6'5 270 pounds and ran a blazing 4.5."
Nevada's Colin Kaepernick came in second at 4.53 seconds, followed by
Washington's Jake Locker and Auburn's Cam Newton, both at 4.59. (The unofficial 4.52 that was originally reported for Locker has been changed, according to NFL.com, to an official 4.59.)
Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea is unable to run or
perform on-field drills due to arthroscopic knee surgery underwent in
January. So he had one, solitary focus entering the 2011 Scouting
Combine:
Bench press 225 pounds as many times as possible.
Paea more than aced the test, breaking the Combine record with 49
reps of 225. The previous mark was shared by current Giants guard Mitch
Petrus, and NFL washouts Leif Larsen and Mike Kudla.
Unlike Larsen and Kudla â€" who had 45 reps of 225 â€" Paea can play. He
twice won the Morris Trophy as the Pac-10"²s top defensive lineman,
piling up 29.5 career tackles for loss and 14 sacks despite facing
constant double teams.

<div>TheAnimal said:You read that right, AFTER the NFL reported that Locker had ran a 4.52 in the 40 they changed it to 4.59.... AFTER overhyped black quarterbacks Kaepernick and sCam ran their 40's. I'd say affirmative action at the Combine is official at this point.
Also I would like to point out two things that a user on that"news" site also pointed out there, 1: Jake Locker ran a 4.52 the first time and his second run was a 4.53. Neither one are anywhere near 4.59. 2nd: Newton reportedly ran 4.60 which turned into the same 4.59 they saddled Locker with. Notice the rub? They grafted the black quarterback with a higher 40 time than he actually ran while lowered BOTH of Lockers 40 times to slower than he actually ran.
<div>TheAnimal said:Btw, also per the NFL's "experts", Dane Sanzenbacher: "He lacks ideal speed and suddenness,"
In spite of being TOP THREE in three different speed drills. In spite of running a 4.43 40 while at Ohio State, unofficially of course. Naturally there's no info available yet on what his official combine 40 was, but i'm sure it's coming soon.

</div><div>The Locker's 4.52 and Newton's 4.60 were was the unofficial hand times. The 4.59's was the official electronic, "photo-finish" times. Nine times out of 10, the hand time is faster than the official electronic time.</div>

snow said:So you are on a site that promotes WHITE athletes to prove that there is no anti white bias. Okay thats fine. I won't make any accusations. Wouldn't want to put down the greatest quarterback in the history of football. All bow down to Cam Newton and believe everything the NFL tells us. Yeah the Mays thing was the "singular mistake". I am sure that no others have happened....at all. Or could it possibly be the Mays mistake was the only mistake that happened with a high profile athlete, you know the kind of athlete dwfs and the media drools over?

I think you may be overreacting a little. Pointing out a small sample size of timing errors and fixes doesn't really prove anything definitive, even if the bias is inherent. Sure, there have been some suspicious 40 time changes for white athletes in the past, but we know of them because we only look at the times of white athletes. I'm sure a more thorough dig through a database would reveal more discrepancies than we know right now.
