Hawkeyejam Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 TJ Hockenson will test really well with Vertical, Broad Jump, and agility drills. Faster than expected 40 too. He gets unfairly judged to Fants athletic rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster than expected 40 too. He gets unfairly judged to Fants athletic rep Yeah I've seen more than 1 person seem to allude to the fact that Hockenson isn't fast. I think that's ridiculous. He's not going to run a 4.5, but he's fast enough to be considered a "fast" TE. He'll hit a high 4.6-low 4.7 at the absolute worst. He was cruising away from some of the fastest linebackers in the nation in college. Smoking OSU's linebackers 2 years ago with straight vertical routes. I'm not sure why so many people question his speed and overlook the fact that he's small for a TE. I get the sense a lot of people haven't watched him play. I'm seeing him compared to these 6'6 265+ TE's when he's extremely sleight of frame and has legitimate seam-stretching speed. Yeah he's an elite blocker for a TE, but that's purely on effort and want-to. He has the frame of a slot TE/WR hybrid. Weird prospect, but I do absolutely love him.

'Incredibly small' and 'extremely slight' just aren't accurate when describing him IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd pic is from 2015 (when he was in HS announcing his intent to play at Iowa), and I'm too lazy to see where you're getting the rest of the photos from or point how hard it is to tell anything from them, but I can post just as many that show him looking bigger and it won't prove either point. We'll just have to wait until the combine I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDOG_det Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 honestly, it's really easy to cherry-pick images to make him large or make him look small. Just best to go by his listed height/weight and wait for official measurements before we make any conclusions about his size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Didn't know where to post this, but Usain Bolt at 32-years-old just tied the NFL combine record for the 40 yard dash at 4.22 seconds while wearing sweatpants and sneakers. I hope people stop thinking that anyone could have beaten him at his peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeyejam Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 He looks slight a bit because dude has a huge frame and lanky. Holds alot of weight in his arms and legs. Massive biceps which explains why he's so strong running routes out of inline and being able to use his hands to get free. I did read somewhere where people believe he could get up to 265-270 from 250 and still retain his current athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still the fastest person to ever live and would beat anyone with proper conditions, but that 4.22 wasn't actually real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had to slow down at the end to not destroy himself from running into the barrier at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple really, you just count the number of frames from his start until he crosses the 40, divide that by the frames per second, and that tells you how long he was actually running for.

For sure, which is a part of the reason why this was a stunt, it just isn't proper conditions to run a 40 in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link me bro, I can't find it. I wanna be able to refer someone to this, telling someone to count FPS and then do math doesn't win me any disagreements. Haha.
