Ryan Swope "official time" 4.34! WOW....
I really really don't see that 4.34 speed. I've been watching a ton of his Highlight videos and don't see him leaving people like an Austin or Goodwin.
Speed sure? You're high if you expect him to be close to those 2 as a rookie and both have much much better hands than him. He lets too many balls hit his body.Swope > Bess and Hartline
big thing, especially this year, is it took Swope about 6 games to adjust to Sumlin's offense. He does get good separation though. His junior year when he worked a lot in Sherman's offense has more long plays.
Whether or not you see the speed though, this is huge for Swope as he ran significantly faster than many thought he would. He's also got good size and strength.
I wouldn't draft Swope until the later rounds! he's not a natural catcher. More of a body catcher.
