Patrick Willis, LB from Mississippi, clocked a 4.37 and a 4.38 on field turf today at his proday. :shock:

Had to be a real fast track, and was that a trustworthy time? I really like the dude. He's an ILB though. Do you know if scouts project him to be able to play on the outside?

FROM WHAT i'VE BEEN READING, he is an inside guy. The surface he ran on is sportsturf just like at the combine.

I thought he would go in the 20's but now he could go top 10.

That is damn fast for a linebacker. Too bad whomever gets him will be wishing they took Puluzney if they intend to play this guy on the outside.

I hope he does; it'll push a player down to us

just like bullgod said

its the same surface as the combine

and after he ran the 4.37 he ran it again, just to show everyone it was real

still though, its not the same as running it at the combine, where you know everyone is running on an equal surface

I know this guy will be gone but at this point I'm just hoping that Alan Branch goes early so that one more good guy gets pushed down.

It's tough at this point. I see a pretty big drop after 12 or 13.

All I can say is wow when you see him chase down McFadden on that sweep! This guy's speed shows up on tape.

TT could go for a LB in this draft

theres three that look good

willis, beason, and posluszny

we could have a very talented LB corp for years to come

or we could get one and trade barnett if TT won't give him what he wants

I was more impressed iwth the way he leveled guys at the line.

He is very violent and impactfull. The speed is my second favorite quality though. I would love to have this guy...

I know these youtube videos can make anyone look fab, but he really did look good.

He definitely has top end speed. When you see him moving toward the sideline, he is MOVING!

What impressed me at least as much though was the technique in his tackles. Notice he wrapped the guy just about every time, and rode him to the ground? Even on the tackles where he leveled the guys. Only time he didn't wrap was the one where he knocked the player out of bounds.

I'm happy with that.

Nick Barnett wouldn't be. :)

He'll tell you that he deserves the middle.
