Neat stuff. Why are most of PSU's players not running???

That's a good question. They seem to be waiting for the PSU Pro Day. Whether this approach is the best for them remains to be seen.

Yes, it is puzzling. I can see someone like Tamba not running since his draft status can essentially only be hurt by it. But the others?

Prospects typically time better at their "Pro Days" than they do at the combine. The combine has a history of being a slow track, so many prospects don't run. I remember when Travis Minor was invited to the combine, the scouts stood up and aplauded when he was ready to run the 40 because he was the first FSU to run at the combine in some time.

Well, since then almost everyone has run. All 9 guys ran there this year and blew the doors off. Everyone except AJ Nicholson had impressive times.

Wille Reid 4.34
Cromartie 4.39
Leon Wash 4.42
Ernie Sims 4.5

I dont know why guys just dont run. Ronnie Brown last year ran a 4.42 and didnt have to run the rest of the time up until the draft.

I find it a little odd that ALL of PSU's kids are waiting for their Pro Day. We'll see how it goes for them.

I remember the combine where Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown both ran faster 40s than Peter Warrick. All three have been busts to varying degrees.
