Combine 40 Time: 4.66.
Benchx225: 21. Vertical: 41.5.

2/24/09: Connor Barwin had an outstanding combine. He’s as close to a second-round lock as you can get. There are a ton of teams atop Round 2 looking for rush linebackers, so Barwin may go to one of them.

Larry English, Northern Illinois
Height: 6-2. Weight: 255.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Combine 40 Time: 4.90.
Benchx225: 36. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2009): 1-2.
2/25/09: Turns out Larry English is actually 255; not 274. With that in mind, his 40 was pretty disappointing, though the same can be said about almost everyone who attended the 2009 NFL Combine.

2/22/09: I’m not sure if this is a typo, but Larry English was listed at 6-2, 274. He was supposed to be 254. Hopefully this will be cleared up soon.

Maurice Evans, Penn State
Height: 6-2. Weight: 265.
Projected 40 Time: 4.72.
Combine 40 Time: 4.99.
Benchx225: 17. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2009): FA.

Jarron Gilbert, San Jose State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 288.
Projected 40 Time: 5.15.
Combine 40 Time: 4.87.
Benchx225: 28. Vertical: 35.5.
Projected Round (2009): 2-3.
2/24/09: Jarron Gilbert ran and jumped well at the 2009 NFL Combine. He’s now in heavy second-round consideration.

Tyson Jackson, LSU
Height: 6-4. Weight: 295.
Projected 40 Time: 4.85.
Combine 40 Time: 4.91.
Benchx225: . Vertical: .
Projected Round (2009): 1.

Tim Jamison, Michigan
Height: 6-2. Weight: 256.
Projected 40 Time: 4.75.
Combine 40 Time: 5.09.
Benchx225: 21. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2009): 7.
2/24/09: After weighing 10 pounds lighter than he should have, Tim Jamison ran .3 slower than projected. Ouch.

2/22/09: Tim Jamison logs in at a disappointing 256; Michigan had him around 265.

Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech
Height: 6-7. Weight: 266.
Projected 40 Time: 4.63.
Combine 40 Time: 4.75.
Benchx225: 28. Vertical: 38.5.
Projected Round (2009): 1.
2/24/09: As expected, Michael Johnson lit up the 2009 NFL Combine. Jon Gruden went as far to say that he was a “Julius Peppers clone.” Johnson has work-ethic issues, but coaches are arrogant; some will think that they can turn him around.

2/22/09: Michael Johnson put on about 10 pounds to his frame. We’ll see if his 40 is affected by it.

Mitch King, Iowa
Height: 6-2. Weight: 280.
Projected 40 Time: 4.72.
Combine 40 Time: 4.89.
Benchx225: 23. Vertical: .

Projected Round (2009): 2.

Orion Martin, Virginia Tech
Height: 6-2. Weight: 262.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Combine 40 Time: 4.88.
Benchx225: 24. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2009): 5-6.

Aaron Maybin, Penn State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 249.
Projected 40 Time: 4.61.
Combine 40 Time: 4.89.
Benchx225: 22. Vertical: 38.
Projected Round (2009): 1.
2/24/09: Mitch King ran just as fast as Aaron Maybin? Huh!? I’m telling you… I don’t know if it’s going to come out or not, but I really think someone screwed up the official 40s.

2/22/09: Better than 240, but 249 isn’t going to get Aaron Maybin many looks from 4-3 teams.

Kyle Moore, USC
Height: 6-5. Weight: 272.
Projected 40 Time: 4.83.
Combine 40 Time: 4.89.
Benchx225: 22. Vertical: .
Projected Round (2009): 5-6.

Brian Orakpo, Texas
Height: 6-3. Weight: 263.
Projected 40 Time: 4.66.
Combine 40 Time: 4.70.
Benchx225: 31. Vertical: 39.5.
Projected Round (2009): Top 11 Pick.
2/24/09: Brian Orakpo reestablished himself as the top defensive end at the 2009 NFL Combine. However, I don’t think he did enough to put himself into consideration for third overall.

Zach Potter, Nebraska
Height: 6-7. Weight: 279.
Projected 40 Time: 4.93.
Combine 40 Time: 4.92.
Benchx225: 20. Vertical: .

Projected Round (2009): 4-5.

Lawrence Sidbury, Richmond
Height: 6-4. Weight: 251.
Projected 40 Time: 4.75.
Combine 40 Time: 4.64.
Benchx225: 28. Vertical: 35.
Projected Round (2009): 3-4.
2/24/09: Even unofficially (the official times are obviously screwed up), Lawrence Sidbury ran one of the quickest 40s at the 2009 NFL Combine. He really helped himself on a day in which numerous defensive linemen disappointed.

Stryker Sulak, Missouri
Height: 6-4. Weight: 251.
Projected 40 Time: 4.65.
Combine 40 Time: 4.77.
Benchx225: 22. Vertical: .
