James Davis, Clemson
Height: 5-11. Weight: 218.
Projected 40 Time: 4.45.
Combine 40 Time: 4.61.
Benchx225: 17. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 4-5.

2/23/09: Just like almost everyone else at the 2009 NFL Combine, James Davis’ ran a slow 40. He’s still a mid-round prospect.

2/21/09: James Davis put on about 11 pounds of bulk for the 2009 NFL Combine. If it doesn’t affect his 40 time, he may have increased his draft stock.

Tony Fiammetta, Syracuse
Height: 6-0. Weight: 245.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65.
Combine 40 Time: 4.63.
Benchx225: 30. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 7.



Arian Foster, Tennessee
Height: 6-1. Weight: 215.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Combine 40 Time: DNP.
Benchx225: 23. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 5.

2/21/09: So much for being a power back. Listed at 232 at Tennessee, Arian Foster weighed in at 215. We’ll see if the weight loss helped his 40.

Mike Goodson, Texas A&M
Height: 6-0. Weight: 208.
Projected 40 Time: 4.40.
Combine 40 Time: 4.54.
Benchx225: 14. Vertical: 39.5. Broad: 9-10.
Projected Round (2009): 5.

2/23/09: Somehow Mike Mayock’s No. 5 running back, Mike Goodson ran an average 40 at his size, but notched a 39.5-inch vertical. He’s a mid-round prospect at best.

Shonn Greene, Iowa
Height: 5-11. Weight: 227.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Combine 40 Time: 4.63.
Benchx225: 19. Vertical: 37. Broad: 10-1.
Projected Round (2009): 3.

2/23/09: A 4.63 didn’t do Shonn Greene any favors. Neither did a hand measurement of 8 1/2. Already the subject of weight and work-ethic issues, Shonn Greene will need a lot of luck to be drafted on Day 1.

P.J. Hill, Wisconsin
Height: 5-11. Weight: 222.
Projected 40 Time: 4.64.
Combine 40 Time: DNP.
Benchx225: DNP. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 7-FA.





Rashad Jennings, Liberty
Height: 6-1. Weight: 231.
Projected 40 Time: 4.46.
Combine 40 Time: 4.64.
Benchx225: 29. Vertical: . Broad: 10-0.
Projected Round (2009): 3-4.



Gartrell Johnson, Colorado State
Height: 5-10. Weight: 219.
Projected 40 Time: 4.62.
Combine 40 Time: .
Benchx225: 20. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 6-7.



Ian Johnson, Boise State
Height: 5-11. Weight: 212.
Projected 40 Time: 4.47.
Combine 40 Time: 4.46.
Benchx225: 26. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 5-6.

2/23/09: Ian Johnson shocked Indianapolis when he ran an unofficial 4.3 40. The official time has him at 4.46, which is still pretty decent compared to the plethora of Sunday’s slow backs. 2/21/09: Ian Johnson’s 212 pounds? What happened? Did he eat someone by accident? He was listed at 195 in college.

Jeremiah Johnson, Oregon
Height: 5-9. Weight: 209.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Combine 40 Time: 4.61.
Benchx225: 20. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 5-6.



Quinn Johnson, LSU
Height: 6-1. Weight: 246.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Combine 40 Time: .
Benchx225: 16. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 6.



Anthony Kimble, Stanford
Height: 6-0. Weight: 216.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Combine 40 Time: 4.66.
Benchx225: 13. Vertical: 36. Broad: 10-2.
Projected Round (2009): FA.



Marlon Lucky, Nebraska
Height: 5-11. Weight: 216.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Combine 40 Time: 4.59.
Benchx225: 18. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 7.



Marcus Mailei, Weber State
Height: 6-0. Weight: 248.
Projected 40 Time: 4.82.
Combine 40 Time: 4.90.
Benchx225: 22. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 7-FA.



LeSean McCoy, Pittsburgh
Height: 5-10. Weight: 198.
Projected 40 Time: 4.44.
Combine 40 Time: DNP.
Benchx225: DNP. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 1-2.

2/21/09: This can’t be good. Listed anywhere between 207-210, LeSean McCoy weighed in at 198. Though he reportedly has the flu, being under the 200-pound barrier can’t be good for his draft stock. Neither can a hand measurement of 8 7/8.

Knowshon Moreno, Georgia
Height: 5-11. Weight: 217.
Projected 40 Time: 4.44.
Combine 40 Time: 4.60.
Benchx225: 25. Vertical: 35.5. Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): Top 20 Pick.

2/23/09: Ouch. A 4.60? It should be noted that Knowshon Moreno was one of many running backs who ran a conspicuously slow “official” 40 on Sunday. I get the feeling that the person in charge of getting the official times was either leering at one of the cheerleaders or taking LSD. There’s no way everyone was a tenth slower than the unofficial times.

2/21/09: Knowshon Moreno put on 10 pounds of bulk and weighed in at 217 at the NFL Combine. The 40 could determine whether Moreno or Chris Wells is drafted first.



Chris Ogbonnaya, Texas
Height: 6-0. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Combine 40 Time: 4.61.
Benchx225: 19. Vertical: 35. Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 7-FA.



Branden Ore, West Liberty State
Height: 5-11. Weight: 214.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Combine 40 Time: 4.67.
Benchx225: 21. Vertical: 36. Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): FA.



Cedric Peerman, Virginia
Height: 5-10. Weight: 216.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Combine 40 Time: 4.45.
Benchx225: 27. Vertical: 40. Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 5.

2/23/09: Opened eyes with a very sharp 2009 NFL Combine, running a 4.45 and garnering a 40-inch vertical. Unfortunately, he measured with the smallest hands at the 2009 NFL Combine (8 inches).

Javon Ringer, Michigan State
Height: 5-9. Weight: 205.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Combine 40 Time: 4.60.
Benchx225: 23. Vertical: . Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 3-4.



Bernard Scott, Abilene Christian
Height: 5-10. Weight: 220.
Projected 40 Time: 4.56.
Combine 40 Time: 4.56.
Benchx225: 21. Vertical: 36. Broad: 10-5.
Projected Round (2009): FA.



Kory Sheets, Purdue
Height: 5-11. Weight: 208.
Projected 40 Time: 4.49.
Combine 40 Time: 4.47.
Benchx225: 15. Vertical: 37. Broad: 10-1.
Projected Round (2009): 4-5.



Brannan Southerland, Georgia
Height: 6-0. Weight: 242.
Projected 40 Time: 4.58.
Combine 40 Time: 4.70.
Benchx225: 28. Vertical: 38. Broad: 10-0.
Projected Round (2009): 5-6.



Tyrell Sutton, Northwestern
Height: 5-8. Weight: 211.
Projected 40 Time: 4.45.
Combine 40 Time: 4.66.
Benchx225: DNP. Vertical: 33. Broad: .
Projected Round (2009): 7.

2/23/09: One of about a billion running backs who ran slow on Sunday, Tyrell Sutton recorded a 4.66 40.

2/21/09: A nice weight (211) for Tyrell Sutton. He was very close to 200 at Northwestern.

Chris Wells, Ohio State
Height: 6-1. Weight: 235.
Projected 40 Time: 4.48.
Combine 40 Time: 4.59.
Benchx225: 25. Vertical: 33.5. Broad: 10-8.
Projected Round (2009): Top 20 Pick.

2/23/09: Chris Wells somehow ran faster than Knowshon Moreno despite being 20 pounds heavier. Though some thought Wells could run a low 4.4, a 4.59 doesn’t really hurt Wells’ stock.

Javarris Williams, Tennessee State
Height: 5-10. Weight: 223.
Projected 40 Time: 4.54.
Combine 40 Time: 4.52.
Benchx225: 25. Vertical: 33.5. Broad: 10-8.
Projected Round (2009): 6-7.
