6:00 PM): That's a lock... Any questions whether Southern California RB Reggie Bush was worthy of being the #1 player selected at the 2006 draft may have put to bed earlier today when the Trojans' star ran under 4.35 seconds for the 40 at the USC on-campus workout in front of an estimated 150 personnel people from around the NFL. Gil Brandt has the early results from the USC workout over at NFL.com however the positional drills are still on-going. While Bush was starring with his speed, LenDale White, USC's other back with firsdt-round potential, weighed in at 244 pounds but reportedly did not run which could hurt his draft status. QB Matt Leinart, who measured in at 6-6, 224, also reportedly chose not to run, but his fortunes were going to be determined by how well he threw the ball anyway.
Go to NFL.com for official times of all prospects from USC. Here is a little clip about he running surface.
The results …
SOUTHERN CAL: APRIL 2
They ran outdoors on AstroTurf, which was a fast surface. All 40-yard dash times were clocked electronically, which historically adds about .08 of a second to the actual time. For instance, if someone ran the 40 in 4.50 seconds, it really means he ran it in about 4.42 seconds.
Interesting to note, that Lendale White did not run.
Fred Matua, 6-3 300 pound guard ran a 5.1 forty and has moved up the draft boards, he also lefted 26 reps of 225.
Darnell Bing, 6-2 225, his forties were between a 4.53 and a 4.65. he had a 38 inch vertical jump.
Leinart didn't run but had a 37 inch verticle, which I thought was impressive.
He measured in at 6-6, 225 pounds.
