How about JaMarcus Russell, he always looked like 6'6"-6-7", turns out he's 6'5.5". And everyone says he looks taller than that!!!
Don't know about him, he didn't come up into the crowd. I shook Laron's hand and stood next to him. That's why I was so sure he wasn't as tall as he was listed. Troy Smith Measure at 6' even, and on TV he was standing right next to JR. He only reached up to Russell's shoulders.:hihi:
I saw that, and I wanted Russell to tell him "good throw, son." :hihi: Or maybe punch him in the face because he took the Heisman...:grin:
LaRon's 40 time @ the combine I didn't know he was this fast... The 40-yard dash times for the first group of defensive backs were phenomenal. Among the highlights were safety LaRon Landry of LSU running a 4.32, Chris Houston of Arkansas (4.35), Leon Hall of Michigan (4.38), Michael Griffin of Texas (4.41), Tarell Brown of Texas (4.48) and Michael Coe of Alabama State (4.49). Overall, it was a very fast group. The strength factor of these defensive backs is also very impressive. In the 225-pound bench press, 10 of the defensive backs had 20 or more reps and none had fewer than 10. The top performer was Chris Houston of Arkansas with 27 reps. (He also had a 4.35 in the 40). He was followed by Jesse Daniels of LSU with 25 reps, Zach Catanese of Arizona State (24), Brandon Harrison of Stanford (23) and John Wendling of Wyoming (22). http://www.nfl.com/combine/story/10026017
Re: LaRon's 40 time @ the combine I used to see Jesse Daniels a lot around campus and he was huge. Ive never seen such a difference between how one guy looks on TV compared to real life.
Great job LaRon and Jessie. If a team has a need at both safety positions and Landrys is available for them in the first, drafting Daniels would not be a bad idea, considering how much these have played off of the otheres performance over the past four years.
holy crap i did not know Landry had 4.32 speed. That's gonna help his stock out for sure. Jesse Daniels always did look pretty big but 25 reps is impressive. These results will help both guys a lot
They got it wrong in the article. He ran the 4.35. Still impressive though. http://www.nfl.com/combine/story/10025995 1. Chris Houston Arkansas 4.32 2. LaRon Landry LSU 4.35 3. Leon Hall Michigan 4.39
