good ?
bad?

It has been average compared to the other TE's. Im guessing he wanted to get into the 4.6 range. He still has one more chance to get there.

Sims 2nd run, 4.72.....he's consistent.

That stings.

He's 9th slowest out of 10 so far. It sucks that he didn't run faster.

From what I've read on the draft sites he was expected to run a 4.7...anything under that would have been a pleasant surprise. I criticized the kid for coming out too early (still stand by that BTW) but you can't expect a man his size to run a helluva lot better than that: Eifert and all the other guys running 4.5-4.6 are much smaller quite frankly. They are hybrid guys that can play TE OR WR....sort of like Hernandez of New England. Dion is a bigger tight end in the traditional mold. My problem with him coming out was he had work to do on his blocking, conditioning and durability: BIG time.

...to give you a comparison, the fastest OLINEMAN was Kyle Long (Howie Long's stud kid outta Oregon) and he ran a 4.94.....so no, 4.72 isn't great. It would be a C or C- I would think. Most ANY linebacker in the NFl and many Def. ENds can run and cover him at that rate, and that's what a TE is judged on.

..........and here comes Manti 'catfish' T'eo....looks terrified taking the stage before the media. I normally like a good train wreck but expect you guys to report how he did on this one. Can't stand this fake clown and won't watch.

fixed: time change....has to be in ''primetime''

Sims will be a bust those numbers suck...need moar better combine #'s.

Not to pile on, but this is exactly why most people went with the "best of luck to him, but he should really be coming back" line with Sims and Gholston. They really had a number of areas where they could have put out a lot of good film and really earned some money. Hope he does well but this doesn't sound promising too far

Good luck Dion

Bell with 24 reps on the bench press. Pretty solid. Some RB from Wake Forest (6'1 246) with a staggering 36.
