re: ****Fournette's 40 Time Predictions?****

That moment when you learn you have a higher vertical than LF..........

He just had a 28.5" vertical. Which is awful

Meh. I'm not really defending it but the vertical is so technique based nowadays. Fournette could legitimately jump higher than Cook and Cook's vertical could be 5 inches higher if Cook has better coaching and technique. Not saying that's the case, but it's pretty possible that he just totally sucks at hitting those stupid arse flappers at the peak of his jump

I watched him jump. He looked very stiff and nonathletic honestly It was weird

Man that vertical is bad and will usually correlate with the run as far as explosiveness. But I've seen him ruin angles for CBs that even the smaller RBs can't do. I'm saying sub 4.5, in the 4.44-4.48 range

not the same as a 40yd dash but this is what scouts look at

Cook jumped at 30.5 at a MUCH lower weight. It's crazy but damn. I hope fournette just burns it on the 40. Would be crazy to see a guy at 240 hit 4.4 speed.
