That would put him tied for 5th slowest out of the 29 CBs that tested at the combine
It's not a terrible time but not one that's going to give him a "boost" either. Would expect 2nd round at worst 3rd.
Less than ideal for a CB. His play/tape will present better than that measurable.

Wonder how much heavier/bigger he is than most of those CB's?
I think Tampa weighed in at 189 at the combine, and measured 6'1".At 6'2" 200, TJ is bigger than essentially all CB's (I think two were close to/over 200lbs).
Good call. I was looking at his NFL prospect page/article which was completed prior to combine. Still on the bigger end of CB's but much closer to the average than his pre-combine measurements.I think Tampa weighed in at 189 at the combine, and measured 6'1".
Yeah that's not going to happen unless they think DeJean's leg didn't heal correctly.Well... I lost my bet with a Hawk that he would go before DeJean. I was banking on a great 40 time.
This has Tampa a bit faster. How bout Nikkel ripping off a 4.40?!?
Bigger CB, though. Running low 4.5’s isn’t uncommon at that size.Less than ideal for a CB. His play/tape will present better than that measurable.

Agreed. Based on the excel spreadsheets from scouts; he should be considered as an NFL safety. I disagree and think he can/will excel as a CB.Bigger CB, though. Running low 4.5’s isn’t uncommon at that size.
No one ripped you for saying he’d go in the second round.And to think people ripped me a new one for saying he'd likely go in the 2nd or 3rd round, and if I were an NFL GM and took off my cardinal and gold glasses, that I would take him in the 2nd round.
I do think he covers better than a 4.53 guy, but I never thought he had blazing speed. He has good enough speed, but probably not to get taken in the 1st.
As I said before though... the draft hasn't happened yet, and I hope nothing but the best for TJ and I'm hoping like crazy that he does go in the 1st round.
