lets_go_bills Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Weird. Why wouldn't you let scouts watch? This guy is destined to be a second round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Weird. Why wouldn't you let scouts watch? This guy is destined to be a second round pick. Weird? For sure. Why no scouts?. Something to hide. 2nd rounder? In his dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Weird? For sure. Why no scouts?. Something to hide. 2nd rounder? In his dreams. LOL. Nice. He's still in the top five of the WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 makes sense that he'd workout again, if nothing more than to improve his numbers. But its really odd that he's not allowing scouts in. Makes you think he's either tryig to hide something or he's gonna have a guy with an itchy finger on the stopwatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well if scouts don't actually have to watch you work out... I just ran a few drills and clocked in a 4.1 - 40 time. Now all I need is an agent and another bag of Doritos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was thinking he'd speed up the tape he sends out. Honestly, its probably on the level, but to me, it just looks bad given everything that happened. That said, maybe the scouts actually aren't allowed to attend for some reason, though I couldn't imagine that being the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 his agent sure has some funny ideas about what's good for his client. Scouts didn't seem surprised by the times, they were impressed with the workout otherwise - these kind of letters and stunts seem more aimed at media outlets than the kind of things that actual scouts care about. An agent has to do a better job at managing expectations with his client and spinning things to the positive or at least mitigate damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I am not sure what the big deal is with his 40 yard time. Anquan Boldin had a poor 40 time and ended up being the best wideout to come out of the 2003 draft (well either him or Andre Johnson). So he drops to the second round. Now he just looks like a jerk off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Indablanc Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 http://www.ktbb.com/nfldraft/ If its true that they aren't allowing scouts in, I'd be done with him completely. If its true then I scored a 174 on a recent IQ test despite the fact that I tanked the one I took a while back. Granted I used an independent private testing agency but the results are true none the less. Is anybody looking to hire this incredibly bright fellow? All high dollar offers will be considered.

stewy23 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Maybe he's shy? He doesn't like it when people watch him. I can't pee when people are watching me so I understand where he's coming from. The problem is that he's trying to get a job where more than a couple of people will be watching him work. He may want to switch to another career. Seriously. I don't know what is going on with this kid. There are so many red flags here it's crazy. I hope to God somebody else is stupid enough to draft him. P.S. Can everyone stop with the "Anquan Boldin had a bad 40 time" argument. It's ridiculous to start comparing every slow receiver to Jerry Rice, Anquan Boldin and Plaxico Burress before they've even seen the field at the pro level.

marauderswr80 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 No NFL scouts allowed........however they are sending a tape of the workout to all 32 NFL Teams...... This kid has got to get another agent. What kind of message does it send? Not a bright idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hey if he can keep running till he gets the time he likes, maybe if we pick him and dont like him we can do the draft again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFCRadio Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 According to NFL rules, you cannot have any scouts watch 2 workouts they can only watch one. If it was up to Chad and Malcolm then they would have scouts watch his workout.. They will send a tape of his full workout to every team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombstone56 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 THIS KELLY THING JUST GETS BETTER ,, DOES THIS MEAN HE CAN ONLY PLAY GOOD ON MONDAY IN A EMPTY STADIUM?

BeastMode54 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 He will run in front of scouts Updating a previous item, the agent for Oklahoma WR Malcolm Kelly says his client will run on Astroturf for pro scouts on April 16. The idea of Kelly restricting anyone from watching him workout was strange to say the least. Astroturf is not an NFL playing surface anymore, however, so even if he runs in the 4.4s we doubt it will help his stock whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Maybe he's trying to not get drafted at all? Yeah, maybe he should just claim "conscientious objector" status ... or head for Canada! That's how lots of folks beat the draft in the 60's .... ;-) GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
