Ex-LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu recently ran a hand-timed 4.47 forty-yard dash during his pre-Combine training.
NFL teams are beginning to sort through Mathieu's 2011 game tape, and there is a buzz about his big-play ability both on defense and special teams. It sounds like he's in shape after sitting out the 2012 football season and training hard with Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, Mathieu's college teammate. "Patrick goes at him hard; he'll push him on the ground or whatever he's got to do to get Tyrann prepared," said Peterson Sr. "He's looking like Tyrann. He's staying away from the off-field stuff and he's focused. He looks like he means business, very locked in. He knows he can't get another strike."

I really hope he does well, but for some reason I feel like even if he does make the NFL he won't be able to put MJ behind him.

Damn that means he is slow. 4.65+ at combine. Stock will crumble. I am a TM7 fanatic.

Glad to hear he's working hard, but that 40-time isn't going to turn many heads. He'll need a low 4.4 or better to avoid being a mid-round pick.

Still, the best news is it sounds like he's staying clean.

ok ... so shaving 4/100ths of a second off will move him from the 4th round to the 2nd or 1st?

I think NFL films is doing a piece with him and following him through workouts and through the combine...ect. Probably gonna be the "Hello Rookie" series.....It's a cool show they do.

Why people assume that a hand-timed is always faster than laser is beyond me. That could be true, but a person could also be late in stopping the timer to make sure they cross the line

Same. He needs some sort of redemption in his own life.

I think if he is a mid round pick he should be happy and go to training camp and bust his arse. I think expecting him to be a first or second round pick with his size and troubles is unrealistic unless he has Deion speed which he does not. I thought he was going to end up being a late round flyer. If he is mid round that's about all you can hope for.
