Good for him! 4.43 on both runs should put him up there real well with his good pass catching skills.

A shame they went to clips of Maclin as ES was doing his gauntlet catches...it only showed him catching the last ball and running up field.

And the #5 vertical jump.

He's doing very well in all the athleticism tests so far.

They cut away during both of his guantlet runs, except for the last part of his first run, so I couldn't see how he did.

4.41 is pretty darn good, here are the others in that range according to the GB Press-Gazette.

Combine broadcast on NFL Network. Saw Sanders drop and easy pass on a short turn in drill. He was number 1 in the broad jump with a 10' 6" jump. Got some nice words from the broadcast panel in their summary reviews.

Combine broadcast live on NFL network. Saw Sanders drop and easy pass on a short turn in pattern. He had a broad jump of 10' 6" to lead all receivers and maybe all participants. NFL review panel had some nice words including comments of his "nice soft hands".

McNeal did not have a great combine as far as I could tell. His 40 time was 4.56 which was at the bottom for RB times. This was particularly concerning when the 4.5-6 times were being run by the real big backs weighing over 230-245 range.
