What makes a college player so special that he can pk & choose his own evaluation scenario...?

The fact that he's in a unique scenario where:
1. His performance in the combine and pre-draft analysis events determine how well he'll be able to provide for his entire family.
2. You only get one shot to confirm your athletic reputation. Why not have it under circumstances that allow you to submit your best performance ? Players and Prospective teams should want that and they do.
3. This is not the 40/40/40 club that you and I are in. (the club where we work 40 hours a week for 40 years to retire on 40% of your income) A player is lucky if he plays out his rookie contract. He has to stretch that money for 40 years. Whatever he has to do to position himself to be in the highest standing is A.O.K. .... may suck for couch sitting popcorn vacuums (aka fans) but we'll get over it.

Goodwin 4.27
Austin 4.34
Swope 4.34
Boyce 4.38
Stills 4.38
Patterson 4.42
Robinson 4.43

Weaton 4.45
Notables
Woods 4.51
Patton 4.53
Bailey 4.52
Hopkins 4.57
Still a very fast day....

| Robert Woods looks really good in all the drills! Very smooth in his cuts and soft hands. As far as the 40 times those are all unofficial and wrong! Paterson ran 4.42, Austin ran 4.34, Swoop ran 4.34, Woods ran 4.51, Patton ran 4.53. Justin Hunter ran a surprising 4.44. Marquise Goodwin ran the fastest at 4.27. |

For a lot of people Lane Johnson turned heads. While I'm impressed with Johnson, I had an idea of how he would perform since he was a TE and QB.
Ryan Swope was the guy that made me look twice. I'll be honest, i saw WR from Texas A&M and just for some reason though slow and not a playmaker. Maybe low hope because of Jeff Fuller but I didn't think he would run a 4.34. So after his 40 time, i decided to look him up online. Wow an you say awesome? Not only is this kid fast, but he is a football player. 6'1 200 he has good size, runs good routes, and catches the ball with his hands. This kids fits the system obviously. His best year was under Mike Sherman at HC and Ryan Tannehill at QB.
89 rec 1207 yds and 11 tds in 2011 under Sherman and Tannehill
This year moving to the SEC he slid just slightly but he was still very productive with
72 recs 913 yds and 8 tds. Not as good but this is how it breaks down:
Akransas: 5 rec 141 yds 1 TD
LSU: 10 rec 81 yds 0 td
Auburn: 6 rec 140 yds 2td
Mississippi St: 9 121 yds 0 td
Alabama: 11 rec 111 yds 1 td
AT&T Cotton Bowl: 8 recs 104 yds and 1 td
Majority of his yards came against good teams. Very impressive to me. He is more than a route runner. If we end up with Swope and Patterson I will be happy.
I think after this combine, we may not sign Jennings or Wallace

He is good football player and one of the quality's I like about him is he breaks arm tackles very well he runs like a former RB after he catches it. |

Ive been following Swope his whole career at Texas A&M, and he is simply an animal. He would be a steal for anyone who gets him outside of round 1.
He is faster than he looks, but i was blown away by his 40 time. He has a great on field relationship with Tannehill. When Tannehill became the starter mid way through the season, Swope pretty much stole the #1 WR spot away from Jeff Fuller, and kept it, he was always Tannehill's go to guy.
i think he has the chance to be a better version of Wes Welker

I love the fact he is a former RB that runs with power. He stole it from Jeff Fuller and never looked back. Swope's numbers took a dip moving to the SEC but against SEC teams, he performed. 698 of his 913 yards came against LSU, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Alabama, Auburn, and Oklahoma. None of these teams have slouch defenses. Both Mississippi State and Alabama have a top CB coming into the draft.

You and I just keep helping each other out here. 
I do like the fact he was recruited as a running back and he plays that way. He isn't a small fast guy, he is a fast physical guy. Just a complete football player.

His stats against SEC defenses caught my eye. I'm intrigued

Exactly. My wife and I were guessing 40 times and I guessed 4.5 and so did she. When he ran a 4.34, I stopped what i was doing and looked up his info. When I saw those stats, I immediately became a fan of his.

By comparison Patterson (widely considered the #1 WR in this years draft) didn't fare as well against top compitition....
--------------------------rec----yards----TDs
Georgia--------------------2-------31
Mississippi State-----------2-------25-------1
Alabama ------------------1-------25
South Carolina-------------3-------26

It's interesting, because Swope is just as fast. A littler shorter but a better polished WR

| I watched Swope vs Alabama. It was probably one of the most impressive games I saw from a WR. |
