We need to realize that Allison is not a viable 3. He should be fighting for a roster spot in the 4-5 range at best. Riley ran a 4.43 at 6'1, Matthews ran a 4.46 at 6'3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Just realized that Matthews wore #87 at Vandy and Buffalo....if he signs looks like Jordy's number will find a new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at where majority of his production came from. It came from the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims he was messed up all of 2016 and 2017 after getting poor advice from Philly docs about the injuries. If there's any truth to that and he's right after these procedures, he's young enough to maybe come back at 2014-2015 form where he was a pretty dominant slot WR with average QB play.

ThatJerkDave Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I looked it up earlier, and if I recall correctly, Jordy Nelson ran 4.41. I have seen both Jordy Nelson and Jordan Matthews run in college. Jordy was a lot faster than Jordan Matthews. I would be surprised if Matthews can keep up with him even now.

It's not some holy grail that dictates what a player is capable of at the NFL level. A 40 time might preclude a player from a specific role in the NFL, but it will NEVER "confirm" what a player CAN do at the NFL level. Example.... Oh he runs a 4.3... so he can definitely be a deep threat in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking only the 40 into account is like only rating receivers based on height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
