I love the idea of Tyrann getting a shot at PR, but is he really that shifty? Anyone from his HS days want to inform me how good he is with returns.


Watch any drills that are footwork dominant. He is incredibly impressive.

I've never been a big fan of defensive backs returning kicks (with Peterson being an exception cause he was a freak), simply due to the fact they dont get nearly as much time with the ball in their hand as an offensive player would, but thats just my opinion

I found the spring drills result from 2010 with 40 times and etc. LINK

Vertical Jump
Michael Ford (RB) 42"
Russell Shepard (WR) 41.5"
Patrick Peterson (CB) 39"
Jordan Jefferson (QB) 38"
Ron Brooks (CB) 36.5"

40-Yard Dash (hand timed)
Patrick Peterson (CB) 4.20
Ron Brooks (CB) 4.23
Drayton Calhoun (DB) 4.24
Morris Claiborne (CB) 4.25
Chris Tolliver (WR) 4.33
Russell Shepard (WR) 4.36

Cornerback Patrick Peterson was hand-timed at 4.2 in the 40-yard dash, while fellow cornerbacks Ron Brooks (4.23), Drayton Calhoun (4.24) and Morris Claiborne (4.25) all went sub-4.3 in the hand-timed 40. Peterson also went 535 pounds in the squat, ranking second on the team along with Nevis. Freshman linebacker Kevin Minter led all Tigers in the squat at 545 pounds. Freshman Michael Ford produced some impressive numbers, including a team-best 42 inches in the vertical jump and 352 pounds, which ranked second on the squad, in the clean. Ford also benched 425 pounds and squatted 510 pounds, both ranking among the top five on the team.
