Just ran a 4.83 at LSU proday at under 240.


I am assuming that's a bad time?

What did Cam Jordan run?

edit: 4.69

His 40 tied with Drew

Cam ran like 4.76 at 280

Key looks so twitchy on film. So weird. All his measures are average or below

He looked really slow off the block on the first run:

Arden Key 40 - First Run

And he follows it up with a 4.87. He definitely lost some money today.

He would be a solid pick at 27.

Completely off the Key bandwagon after today.

There's no excuse for a 238 lb edge rusher to run a 4.8 unless he's just slow, which he clearly isn't seeing as how he was expected to be a top 10 pick coming into the season.

It's fairly obvious he doesn't love football. He delayed surgery, didn't come stay with his teammates, came in way overweight, played with zero motor, and then skipped out on the bowl game. There's way too many red flags to take him in the first two rounds. I'd take him in the 3rd if he's available tho.

Yup said before with some of his other measurables at his small size this kid has bust written all over him. This 40 at under 240 lbs. pretty much puts the nail in it.

Not that athletic and only flashed one year. On top of the other "questions" we should definitely stay away. Maybe the Falcons take him.

Arden Key on interest from the Saints: "Crazy interest. Who Dat! I met with them at the combine. I just met with them yesterday at a dinner. I'll meet with them Thursday. They'll have me for a private workout."

i wonder what his 10yd split was in that 40.

his 3 cone wasn't all that bad. Could still be a useful player

I’ll be interested in 3rd but we don’t have the assets before that.

That what I was thinking. I’m betting his 10 yard was still quick

You can’t watch the citrus bowl last year and say Key isn’t that athletic. Nobody has corralled Lamar Jackson like that.

Now, he didn’t test well which is probably more of an effort question. But that’s a whole different discussion as to why not to draft him.

Just throwing this out there in case no one bothered to look at the bottom of the pages on TD:
Mayock talking about LSU's Pro Day takeaways
0:30-1:14 - talking about Key

tl;dw - Key ran slow but his quickness in short areas is telling; looked phenomenal in position drills; the key for his is off the field - need to really evaluate him (comparison to Randy Gregory's situation)

Key looked crazy quick in the drills.
When he ran the 40 I bet the 10yrd split was fast but you can see he just isn't a long distance athlete, which doesn't really matter
Think I'd pass on him but I'd take a shot if we had a 2nd. Dude looked super quick and athletic in those drills just isn't a natural sprinter that's why his 40 was bad.
You could see him pull up at the end almost like he had trouble finishing at full speed

Lots of red flags on this guy. Huge risk that he doesn’t love football and just wants a check.

He's still going on about how "crazy interested" the saints are in him.
