    DHB....better have a wicked ass combine (not just running)........if he does, that will assure some team drafting him in Rd 1. I know Hicks will do well in the hands drills......DHB will struggle.

    I disagree. He is a long strider and clearly has a high end vertical. He doesn't shy away from contact and seems durable(took alot of reverses). He needs to gain 15 pounds but is a top of the line athlete and the best player on his team. See for yourself.

    Unofficial, right? It'll probably be a 4.37 or a 4.4.

    Speed isn't everything - I keep trying to tell you DHB guys that. Harvin has speed, why don't you guys blow your loads while talking about him?

    DHB is not even close to being a complete receiver. Not. even. close.

    I expected DHB to run in the high 4.3's, impressive. He's still not a well-roundeed WR. Lets see him in receivng drills...........Nicks will blow him away.

    Yeah, it's unofficial. Harvin unofficially at 4.37, Macklin at 4.4 and pulled up with a leg injury during one of the drills. I'm not all over DHB, but the man proved today he is fast.

    Maclin and Nicks will be the best WR's to come out of this draft. Crabtree at a possible 3rd.. i also like Kenny Britt

    percy harvin is a joke any jet fan falling in love with him should stop. hes another UF WR who battled injuries his career. plus the system there is a complete gimick.

    Harvin will be a slot/return man at best. mark it down.

    as far as DHB goes, he will be a big gamble in this draft. probably the highest boom/bust ratio in a while. I just dont like the fact Marylands system is almost detrimental to the growth of a WR and DHB is a gifted athlete but an extremely raw product. plus as mentioned with that size ud expect him to be more physical over the middle

    This guy is the big, speedy, powerful receiver we really could use. If he's there, it'll be very tempting. I also think the penn state receivers might be worth a look late.

    He's a guy that will be a better pro than college player.

    Turner is very lanky so he will be very difficult to defend specially for a CB who is on average 5'10 5'11 that right there could demand an automatic double team... which means dustin keller is open, Cotchery and Coles are able to do there thing..

    I saw that he ran a 4.30 - it still doesn't change my opinion of him as a football player.

    He's a track guy.

    Glad you don't care aobut my opinion, but the fact that you need to say you don't care leads me to belive you really just want the attention. Its sad really.
