And he said he was cramping before he ran.  That is scare the shit out of defenses speed, keep DC's up at night speed, open up the field for others speed.  And he's not just all about speed either.

Nope, he was wearing Nike

Curtis Samuel-4.31

Would love to have Samuel in the 2nd

Is he a WR or RB?

Okay.  Good answer.  Wasn't he about the only OSU guy who played worth a damn in the playoff game?

Yep. He also has return skills. He would be perfect for the gadgets we like to run.

You think running the fastest 40 ever recorded would not boost his stock?  He was already considered top 15-top 20.  Easy to see him getting drafted in the top 10 now.

My thinking as well.

I would take this guy over a big bodied slow receiver any day.  The only problem is can dalton throw it far enough to utilize his speed.

You can't teach speed. Ross has to be on our radar now, we need speed at the WR position.

Samuel as well.

Did K.D. Cannon run yet?

Thanks man, want this guy in stripes.

JESUS this draft class is amazing. OJ Howard just ran a 4.51

This TE class is murdering the combine. If the Bengals don't take a TE at some point, they don't value speed and athleticism.

Chances are, if we want Ross, he's pretty much ours, isn't he? Tennessee, maybe. He's so much more than just blazing speed too. He's not 6'3" but he won't need to be.

Man, i wish we would take care of our O-line in FA so we could draft someone like this.

But that is what is so nice about this class. We can draft a TE late that would contribute here immediately. It is that deep.

They know they need speed. I would be very surprised if we don't draft a fast WR and a fast TE in this draft.

We would be the first team that would be seriously looking at the guy no doubt.

I would not be against that speed, who would? That is rare stuff, very rare and it is not like he has hands of stone.

If we can shore up the O-line and draft a player like Ross and a versatile RB our Offense could be scary good.
