the jennings 40 time is somewhat of a mystery. its pretty much different on every draft site you go to.
i've gone to 4 sites just now and i've seen 4 difefrent times
4.54, 4.53, 4.48, and 4.46
and i want to say i remember seeing some sites mention low 4.4, or even high 4.3
so i don't think anyone has any clue what he can actually run
but he looks pretty fast to me

I think Jennings ran in the low 4.5s at the combine, and then came back and ran in the mid 4.4s at his campus workout. Interesting though that he had the fast 3 cone and short shuttle times among his receiving group at the combine. A lot of times that's more important than the straight 40. Hawk had similar results at LB. His 40 time was good, but not great. However, his 3 cone and short shuttles were outstanding."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

Yeah...Another thing about Jennings is that he can be running full speed and still have the coordination to make football moves and get in positon for passes. Being a WR, you have to run, adjust, catch...Jennings can do it all at full speed and he does it with ease.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersI think Jennings ran in the low 4.5s at the combine, and then came back and ran in the mid 4.4s at his campus workout.

He's got a lot more speed and explosion than guys like Anquan Boldin so I'm sure he's got more than enough to have some probowl years.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.

Nice comparison to Hawk....Hawk, Jennings, Hodge, Spitz...They all just play football at a high level.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersI think Jennings ran in the low 4.5s at the combine, and then came back and ran in the mid 4.4s at his campus workout.

the 4.5's came at his capus workout, and the 4.4's came at the combine
at least thats the way the sites i saw made it sound

Either way, let teams underestimate his speed (they never underestimate Smith) and he can torch them for 73-yard touchdowns. I don't care what he ran at which workout. He could have run a 5.7 but if he can stick it to the defenders, that's what matters. May he be sticking it to defenders while wearing green & gold for a long, long time."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg Jennings

If he keeps this pace for 2006, other players will be soon referred to as a poor man's Greg Jennings. Smith only put up 10 catches his rookie year.Originally posted by GregJenningsJennings is a poor mans Steve Smith. I'm taking that from Jennings himself because that his who he tries to model his game after.
I think it's a pretty good comparison.

I am pleased with the performance of Jennings over his first three games. He has great potential and it will be interesting to see how he develops. He has already made a positive impact on the team. As he gains more confidence he might even be a bigger threat. Great draft pick!

That'd make one helluva mascot.Originally posted by the_idle_threatCould you imagine if you put Jennings' head and Ahman Green's arms on Big Bird's body? Can you tell I don't know what the hell I'm talking about?

Or a CIA/FBI science experiment gone VERY bad.
