I knew some teams would consider him at QB, especially in this garbage draft at the position. He could very well make the Bills as a starter at both QB & CB

The teams are interested in him as an emergency QB. That is why they want to see him throw. There is no chance in hell that he would start for the Bills.

Hey, it's the guy who usually thrashes Nick's chances at QB, surprising to see you here

[alexava 6,973]

I didn't think Gabe was that tall.

Trashing? Nick himself was well aware of his "chances"; hence why he didn't even bother to participate as a QB at the Senior Bowl. Nothing will change with his Combine QB performance; there isn't much he can do there to convince anyone otherwise. The teams that want to see him throw are doing so because there is interest in him as an emergency QB, as I just stated. It has nothing to do with teams all of a sudden deciding that he's good enough to start.

[metafour 4,968]

I didn't think Gabe was that tall.

He's listed as 6'3 on the roster. Our reported height measurements are for the most part accurate.

[mcgufcm 4,096]

Gabe was clearly asked to put weight back on. He's a solid 10-15 pounds heavier than he was in season. Good move. He can flash explosive plays inside but he didn't look like 3-4 end this year. He's a 4-3 tackle all the way.

[RunInRed 16,383]

OP updated with numbers for Marshall, Dismukes and Coates.

[metafour 4,968]

Looks like Artis-Payne didn't lift. Michael Dyer put up a positional second best 26 reps at 5'8 218 pounds.

@JamesCrepea: Source: Cameron Artis-Payne had sprained AC joint during the season. "Nothing major" but not ready to bench yet, will do it at Pro Day.

Dyer really "smoked" it... the "guns" are really strong.

What? Too soon?

[JDUBB4AU 5,110]

Dyer has T-rex arms. He should have done 40 with those canons he has

[metafour 4,968]

His arms are 30 and 5/8 inches. Actually a full inch longer than Artis-Payne's. His arms are a bit longer than you'd expect from a 5'8 back.

[JDUBB4AU 5,110]

Really? I guess due to the fact that they are tree trunks makes them look short. Good call. I never would have thought that . Especially with him being 5 8....

What are the odds that someone will eventually come up with a NCAA recruiting combine and get similar measurements of high school recruits? You gotta think that is a solid vein of gold ore waiting to be mined.

The Opening by Nike in Oregon has essentially become the equivalent. I'd venture to say it will expand in number of invites and in length of time over the next 3-4 years and end up generating more buzz than it is currently.

the UA or army games are kind of the same.

If Dyer could do this again I'd love to have him on the Falcons .

Marshall not thought has as an emergency qb. He can be used in packages and devolped.He has one thing going for him,he is coachable. Coates lazy routes and drops didnt make Marshall look great at times.Coates should of stayed. I wouldnt be suprised if he starts for the Rams where all Auburn players go because of Fishers connection to the team.Bradford always hurt.

Coates running an (unofficial) 4.45 ...

4.43 second attempt ...

(video)

[CameronCrazy 1,059]

Honestly, I was expecting something in the 4.3 range. I wander if he's completely healthy. Still respectable numbers.

[bigman334 56]

i'd say a legit 4.43 time is more than respectable. 40 times mean nothing until you are nfl tested. sub 4.45 is pretty darn fast.

[NoALtiger 3,849]

I see Cooper timed better than Sammie, I didn't realize he had that kind of speed. I should have asked our DB's I guess.
