USC Pro Day Results and Notes:
There are a lot of high profile guys here, so I figured posts for each of the standouts in its own thread made sense then getting this lot in the KFFL thread.
NFL | R. Bush works out at Pro Day
Sun, 2 Apr 2006 15:22:53 -0700
Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports USC RB Reggie Bush measured a height of 5-11 and a weight of 202 pounds at his Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash with a time of 4.33 seconds, but the times were measured electronically which historically adds about .08 seconds to his time. He measured a 10-foot-9 long jump and a 40 1/2-inch vertical jump.

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports USC RB Reggie Bush posted an eye-opening 40½-inch vertical jump, performed a very solid 24 repetitions on the standard 225-pound bench press, and was clocked in the 40-yard sprint in 4.37-4.41 seconds, according to a few scouts attending his Pro Day workout Sunday, April 2. The electronic times for Bush were a little quicker, in the 4.33-4.37 range. "Probably not the absolute perfect day that everybody wants to have at one of these things," Bush told ESPN.com after the nearly four hours of drills. "But I felt good. I feel like I came in here today as the No. 1 guy, and I think I'm leaving the same way. So, in that sense, it's pretty satisfying. Now I can kick back and go to the beach for a few days. For me, well, I think I'm walking out of here a winner for the day."
Texans | Team will visit with R. Bush Thursday
Sun, 2 Apr 2006 19:14:04 -0700
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports USC RB Reggie Bush will meet with Houston Texans officials Thursday, April 6. As part of a full day of activities, Bush's agent, Joel Segal, will huddle with Dan Ferens, who handles the Texans' contract negotiations. Because they hold the top pick in the April 29 NFL Draft, the Texans may commence contract negotiations at any point. Bush will not do any on-field drills during his visit with the Texans.
Texans | Team will visit with V. Young Friday
Sun, 2 Apr 2006 19:17:28 -0700
ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports Texas QB Vince Young will meet with Houston Texans officials Friday, April 7. Young will perform on-field drills for the Texans staff during his visit.
Bush's last known time was 4.45, so a 4.4 helps keep him on top. A 40" vert is really good as are 24 reps for a speed back. This year is really odd in that the 2 best receiving options are a running back and a tight end... In that sense, maybe Bush really is the best choice for the Texans since he could draw double and triple teams acting as both a RB an WR, which not only helps Andre Johnson but also makes the oline look better. Since the Texans already have a Pro Bowl KR guy, hopefully they don't waste a lot of touches there. That way Bush can be 100% for what was a truly craptastic offense last year.
sidenote: in this case it seems the electronic sensors add time as in making the time better (because the reaction time for hitting start/stop buttons doesn't exist).
