honestly wasn't surprised he tested so well we knew he was a great athlete -- he was a bit all over the place with the ball tho imo and that's more important

don't tell on yourself, Rap, we knew Nuss was hurt this year -- you should've been able to tell by watching him, tbh

Taylen Green's an elite athlete ... he's yet to deliver a smooth ball on any type of moderately difficult throw on air in drills, which is where you're at there.

Allar remains Allar so far.

Altmyer pry bores people but he's actually a decent backup candidate

4.43 for Omar Cooper Jr. on the second run is outstanding

Germie Bernard always gets better the more you watch him. Makes sense his second 40 was better, 4.49 is a great time for him

not that this isn't impressive, because it is, but we already knew Taylen Green was a mutant.

ok, like, I'm a huge Aaron Glenn fan from way back and probably always will be no matter what ppl say but when they just showed him on the screen there -- he missed an opportunity to look in the camera and laugh it off

... sometimes it's ok to laugh it off?

like, I can't keep pushing him up my board so I'm just gonna put him at No. 1 ... elite athlete who has basically no questions about his game, his size or consistency
