    I'm a UH fan, but no bias here, you can look it up on the draft sites for yourself, but Jackie Battle had such a great workout with Kolb that he has supposedly jumped from 5th round into the 2nd round. That's a huge jump, for anyone, but one scout said it was best workout he'd ever seen in his whole life. And he's now being considered as a RB and not a FB. He averaged almost 4.7 ypc for his whole career. Pretty interesting. It could impact the Titans because we are rumored to be trading up to the Bills spot. And they want a RB early. And they liked Battle .

    Kolb had a really good day too. But Battle was so good nobody is talking about Kolb today.

    vertical: 41
    40 yd: 4.42
    20 yd: 2.55
    10 yd: 1.52
    225 bench: 29
    Broad: 10'11
    Shuttle: 4.11
    3 cone: 6.54

    It was Brocato of TN that said it was the greatest workout he's ever seen. I just caught that. So now it gets even more interesting than I first thought.
     
  6. wouldnt it be more spectacular if he ran in the 4.3s?

    His fastest time was unofficially listed at 4.38, and several scouts had him in the 4.39 range on his 4.42. It's all subjective. But they had him faster. Not slower.

    Not to completely devalue him, but in that run he just had great blocks, he only had to shake one defender
