Aldrick Robinson and the Combine

Aldrick made the list of risers by SI. JJ recruit Greg Salas (he redshirted during JJ's last year at Hawaii) also made the list.

Aldrick Robinson/SMU: Robinson started the day by running 4.38, one of only a handful of sub-4.4 wideouts. He looked fast in the drills, effortlessly catching the deep pass and showed consistent hands -- which was a problem in college.

Another site had him running two 4.38s-as I remember from last year-there is no real official time-just different sources that might record different times. Also a complimentary blurb below

He also had a 40'' vertical jump. Tied for 5th among WRs.

I don't know when Aldrick will end up getting drafted but the team that gets him will be drafting their futur 3rd WR at least, and maybe a starter someday (barring injury). Some guys are just players and he is one of them

Poor hands will hurt him in the NFL...

Did he graduate ? I don't see that anywhere .

They talked a lot about ES on Sunday morning too. They kept comparing recievers to him. Talked about how he was a standout at the combine last year. Even put graphics for him up.

They should have talked about how, for one year, Aldrick outperformed Sanders. I think this guy will be another NFL success.

I don't completely disagree with his opportunity for success, but a lot of that will depend on which team picks him up. It's one thing to get drafted by a super bowl contender; it's a completely different game in Oakland.

Actually, any given player has a better chance for individual success at an Oakland rather than a Pittsburg due to the lack of competition. Which makes what Sanders has done even that much more remarkable.
