Stills 40 time

Stills 40 time 


First 40 - 4.34
Second 40 - 4.28

Didn't predict that time.

He said after the 2012 winter conditioning tests that his goal was to run in the low 4.3s.

Not saying he will ever approach his numbers in the NFL, but his measurables are very similar to Tory Holt.

No surprise.

On-campus, he's been right with Peterson, Mark Bradley, Eric Bassey, Antonio Perkins, as far as fastest Sooners of the past 15 years.

Flawed timing methods at OU that never translate to low numbers at the combine.

I think this puts him into ROUND #2.

If he had better hands, that time might get him into Round #1

I didn't think he was that fast.  Great job Kenny.

Interesting thought, Mr. Heyward-Bey

RE: Stills 40 time 


i'd say i more faith in Kenny catching the ball than heyward-bey...kenny can have great hands when he's mentally there. thats what he need to avoid, those mental lapses. dhb really could never catch the ball very well. and i agree that this should put him in the 2nd round at the latest.

RE: Stills 40 time 


AND BC4L's picture demonstrates theres more to the position than just catching the ball(obviously job 1). how many WRs would have made that play?

RE: Stills 40 time 


Hopefully it solidifies a third. His size is still a knock on him and comparable players, ie. Chris Givens, go in that 3-4 range. Should go behind Hopkins, Allen, Austin, Patterson, Rogers, Hunter, Patton, Williams and Woods at the very least. 10th or later WR selected won't have him in the second. Someone could get good value in Stills, just like STL did with Givens last year in the 4th.

Kenny's attitude makes up for the difference in size, confident and cocky.  I think he will be great  in the NFL.

From his NFL.com Profile page:

Weaknesses

Lacks great size for the position. Doesn't appear to have elite speed. Not overly physical. Bigger, physical corners will give him issues, especially at the line. Concentration lapses, will drop easy passes. Maturity will be in question due to off-the-field incidents.

Lack of homework.

I guess when you are trying to report on 300 different guys accuracy suffers.

He has made some amazing catches while at OU.  The one in the FSU game comes to mind...

He's had some drops too.  Just about every receiver has. He has always been compared to Broyles while he's been here, who hardly ever dropped any.

I think Broyles had only 3 drops thru his first 3 seasons. Before having a half dozen or so as a senior.

Re: Stills 40 time 


I think Kenny's hands are very good, just a few mental lapses, happens to everybody.  His problem, which didn't happen often but enough to notice, was his unwillingness to make the tough catch in traffic (i.e. alligator arms).  This just won't be tolerated in the NFL, either you give up your body, or they will find someone else to do it.  QBs won't trust a guy like that, either.

With the wimpification of the NFL ongoing, this may work in Kenny's advantage for the future, as it is likely he won't see the monster hits that WRs have felt prior to the rule changes.

Overall though, he has potential to put up some good numbers in the NFL, and I wouldn't bet against him just yet.  Like most 1st year WRs in the NFL, he'll struggle, but by year 2 or 3, it might happen for him.
