Merged: Tedd Ginn Jr. Pro Day results!

I've said that all along too. 4 months to get over an ANKLE SPRAIN, one he got CELEBRATING a play, not even during a play. That combined with the sloppy routes, the lack of aggressiveness, and his size and I want nothing to do with this guy, especially in round 1. These pro day reports only solidify that.

Did you watch the game? He wasn't celebrating, his teamates were and one jumped on him. You make it sound as if he did it screwin around

What makes me laugh is everyone is so high on his speed. guess Falling down on 5 out of 6 routes before calling the workout off is OK

It was raining and he is coming back from a high ankle sprain. Not exactly sure what your point is. Not exactly easy to cut in those conditions.

OK fine, so he wasn't celebrating (I watched the game but don't remember what happened after that play), but it's still taken him 4 months to recover from an ankle sprain. And even minus the sprain, he is still a 178lb guy who isn't aggressive enough to beat the press/bump n run coverage and a crappy route runner. He's not even as fast as reported. The guy is a glorified return specialist that succeeded at WR in college due to nature of the game. I want nothing to do with him.
 
..."The workout on Wednesday consisted of Ginn running the 40 and of going through a series of receiving drills. Scouts said Ginn caught the ball well and demonstrated a fluid running style but that, with his foot still not 100 percent, he was not as explosive in and out of his cuts as they project him to be when he is fully recovered..."

WTF are you talking about? Did you see him abuse aaron ross in the Texas game? Ross tried being aggressive, crowding the line, bumping early, all that, and Ginn just TORCHED him!

He is as dynamic a playmaker as there is in this draft. And his ankle is good enough to get him a 4.40 at maybe 80-90% in the RAIN on a cold day! Guy can MOVE!
He doesnt NEED to run precise routes because hes so fast! Running brilliant routes is important for a slower/possession type guy to get open, for a guy as fast as Ginn its not an issue.

BTW, any word if he works out again before the draft?? I thought he had scheduled another one for next week.

I am a little concerned with his seemingly slow recovery, but ankle sprains of the type he suffered do take awhile to heal. The good news is that, unlike a break, I dont think they have as much chance to be a recurring problem. If the medical team checks him out I have no concerns.

Interesting...

On April 11, Ginn -- who did not run at the Combine or OSU's Pro Day -- worked out on campus before representatives of most of the NFL teams. He ran his 40s in 4.38, 4.44 and 4.45 seconds. He ran no shuttles and did no jumps, and because of his sore foot, stopped running routes after doing about 20 of them. Three head coaches were there: Scott Linehan (Rams), Marvin Lewis (Bengals) and Cam Cameron (Dolphins). Also there were Dolphins general manager Randy Mueller and Rams vice president for player personnel Tony Softli.

I had hard time believing that stupid "he fell 5 out of 6 times" report. It's funny that type of stuff gets reported and then people actually believe it. :sidelol:

Yea, we watched Travis Daniels never really get back to speed last season w/ a ankle injury.

The encouraging thing about Ginn jr is that some of the critics didn't believe he would be able to run before the draft...and though he is not full speed...he is consistently able to run in the 4.3ish range while injured.

He was just starting to jog at the combine and now he is cranking out 4.3's. I'd keep a close eye on his times in the next two weeks.
 
He actually DID fall down, so dont laugh when people believe it, because you look like a ****ing ****** for NOT believing it
 
In other news the Chiefs are shopping Dante Hall.


Anybody need a joystick?
 
I wouldn't draft Ginn, ESPECIALLY WITH THE 9th pick in the draft!!!!!

I've never been confident he has what it takes to play well in the NFL and I don't believe he is day 1 material. He could be another Troy Williamson.

I agree 100%. Look at Higgins. He'll likely be available at 60 and had twice the college production that Ginn did. Some say, oh, Higgins can't run routes. Yeah, whatever, I don't care if he can run routes or not as long as he keeps scoring TD's like he did in college, 32 of them in the last three years. Oh yeah baby!

GO PHINS~!
