We'll see what happens at the Combine, but the rumors are swirling.

WR Alshon Jeffery, #SouthCarolina is training at St Vincents here in Indy. Sources say he's weighing 249lbs + running a 4.88 Forty #NFLDraft |

53s
I also had to ask my guy again. That is NO typo. RT @JoshNorris Wait, 4.88? Really? |
Of course, this is just one source (I happen to like Joe, he's a good guy.) But if Alshon Jeffery runs a 4.8, does he get drafted? I don't think so. He could end up going the way of Adarius Bowman, the highly-touted WR from Oklahoma State who sort of faded out of the picture due to slow timing.
UPDATE: Multiple sources disagreeing.

Alshon Jeffrey 4.88 time, is outright untrue. Hearing whispers its being floated from his camp, so he blows expectation away at combine. |

He would get drafted, but he would have an epic fall

Depends...there is always hope? Maybe if worse comes to worse, put on 10 pounds and move to Tightend?

| I think he would still get drafted, but he would absolutely plummet down the boards. |

I wouldn't touch him until maybe the 6th round if ran a 4.88 and weighed 249lbs at the combine.

249 pounds? Wow. If true, the weight issues have certainly been verified. That would be quite disappointing. I really like Alshon on the field but if this is true, he simply lacks the drive off the field to succeed.

It's a shame, I know how much you like him  . And honestly I had been warming up to him a bit more as a prospect in recent months. But at 249...that's a little scary to me. He'd weigh more than the likes of Aaron Hernandez and Jermichael Finley.
Although, it COULD work as a split out tight end. Maybe. The issue there is that Dwayne Allen, Orson Charles, Michael Egnew, Coby Fleener will all run faster than him.

Also, the credibility of the report is a BIT in question.

Confirmed...Alshon Jeffery has been in Tampa since January 8th. IF he ran a 4.88 in Indianapolis, it was over a month ago. |
Still doesn't take away the hypothetical. But there may be some hope for Alshon.

I still have to see it to believe it. I just don't know how with all this money on the line, he'd let himself get so out of shape. I'd have a hard time drafting him before the 4th if this is true. And I don't know about TE because it's not muscle, it's fat.
But I guess we'll see if the reports are true or not.

That makes me feel a little bit better. Might have gotten bad info. I'm hoping Alshon shows up to the combine at a cut and trim 230 pounds!

| jrry32, don't back track now my friend. You were defending Alshon to the end. I called him slow, fat, and a bunch of other things. |

I'm not backing off anything. Until I see it, I'm not believing it.

 He looked fat even when he wasn't. If he's at 250 and runs that slow he could shoot out of the draft.

He'd probably get drafted. There are teams who have a pattern of ignoring everything and drafting big names throughout the draft. Those are usually the teams that most people say had the best draft.

yes he'll get drafted but doesn't deserve it. Some1 who lets themselves get that big right before the combine and NFL draft obviously doesn't care .
