AGrizzlyBaer Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 NCAA | Hester blazes in the 40Sat, 4 Mar 2006 14:42:44 -0800The Associated Press reports Miami CB Devin Hester ran a stunning time of 4.27 seconds in the 40-yard dash at Miami's timing day for all 32 NFL teams Saturday, March 4. He ran a 4.41 at the Indianapolis combine last month, finishing a disappointing ninth among defensive backs. Switching from an indoor surface to an outdoor field likely helped Hester.well thats a hell of an improvement right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 That's blazing fast. Gil Brandt had him at 4.32 at the Miami Pro Day, but still...smoking.The CB Hester couldn't beat out -- Marcus Maxey -- clocked 4.42 and did 17 reps at Canes Day per Brandt.Also of note, Brandt had Bengals LB coach Ricky Hunley among the NFL team contigent at the Pro Day. Gotta figure the Bengals are looking at Rocky McIntosh -- who just might be able to swing all 3 LB positions in a 4-3. McIntosh clocked 4.60 at the Pro Day and had a 42-1/2 inch vertical at the combine.Another item from the Canes Pro Day...Eric Winston repped 22 times. He had declined to lift at the combine (no wonder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I don't think there should be any doubt that Hester can move, regardless of his forty times. He's probably the fastest player coming out of the draft. It's his other skills that are in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentjett Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 How big is Hester and do you think we can pick up w/ a third. Free Agency and the first 2 rounds are going to S, defensive lineman, and a TE. A return man would be our next p/u. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 5'11, 185lbs.This is definitely a split camp on Hester, but think he would be a great addition. He may run a little like Ratliff, but 4.2 speed gets you around the corner a little bit quicker. There may be better options available when we pick and feel that will dictate how it shakes out. For how much I like him, I honestly don't see him in stripes because I can't see us needing him bad enough to make him a day one pick and think he will be gone by the time we pick in the 4th...WHODEY !!!
