He wasnt that explosive. He ran a 4.37 shuttle and 7.09 3 cone.


The Broad and Vertical are better measures for explosion. Shepard put up good numbers on both jumps. Vertical - 38.5", Broad - 10'2".

I saw a range of 40 times reported from the Pro Day, but the consensus is in the 4.4 range. That's explosive.

I'm guessing that RS didn't practice a lot specifically for the Shuttle and 3-Cone, so he didn't have real good drill-specific form during the Pro Day on those. It's obvious to me that he could clock better times than what he put up. Shep didn't have elite moves, but he had good quickness and change of direction on the field.

4.47 hand timed.
The shuttle and 3 cone measure agility ( shiftiness). Yeah I'm sure he didnt practice to get ready for his pro day. Come on

this is fricking laughable. How often do the broad jump and vertical jump come into play during a football game? How often do players switch directions and have to accelerate again?
