Bryon Jones and Geremy Davis get NFL Combine Invites

Davis is a big strong dude and he certainly looks like he can carry more than 220 LBs. At 6-3 I do wonder if he can get to 230-5 and what possibilities there are for him at that size. I'm not sure what he runs, but it would not surprise me a bit if it's something like 4.7-8. Could be wrong on all of this.

Agree with the assessment on Jones. Terrific athlete, but he never showed a physical presence at UCONN. The really good DBs out of UCONN really popped folks, Butler, Branch, Reggie, Gratz. Never saw that kind of play from Jones.
 
I hope The Pats get them both. Cuz I'd love to have a Patriots jersey with Davis and Jones ' name on it. I still have Butler's

Geremy as expected checked in at 6'2 216 at the combine today

Measuring in shorter than he was listed isn't great for him. With the running times that most people seem to expect him to run, he really needs everything else going for him. One inch obviously isn't going to be huge for him but I don't think this will be a kind draft process to him.

Has to really impress with his time. If not, could very well be UDFA.

Wasn't there a lineman primarily from the old regime who could only muster 22 reps? Forgive my optimism, but I feel there are good things afoot in Storrs.

Strong start at @NFLCombine for #UConn's Geremy Davis, who finished tied for 1st among WRs in bench press http://runwayramblings.blogspot.com/2015/02/calm-before-storm-for-uconns-geremy.html…
 
23 reps for Davis were better than 9 Offensive Linemen at the combine. He put up more than last years linemen as well IIRC.
 
Watching Geremy right now on the NFL network, he's making some great catches. For some reason there's no 40 yard dash time listed for him. Is he running it?

His group already ran the 40 and he did not participate. But made every catch on his first gauntlet rep.

He also made the straight route over the shoulder where many others had trouble. Went to commercial during his second gauntlet. Grrrr.:mad:

Saw this too. Pissed me off!
 
Also, during QB/WR drills, I know they're trying to showcase the QB's, but how about a camera angle that captures the whole route?

Looks like Balis has made a difference...especially since he blew away lineman that participated at UCONN's pro day last year

he will likely be a possession receiver that runs a lot of 10-20 yard routes, so his broad jump is more indictive of his short route speed than the 40 yard. His vertical is very good, so the combo of his two leaps should impress a lot of people. That is why he is forgoing the 40 to this point. Hopefully enough teams are interested in him where he can feel confident about being drafted.

I'd be shocked if he doesn't run a 40 at pro day.

This. He knows that a poor 40 time will hurt him, and he's assuming that he will put up a better time on a track that he's familiar with. I feel like this is becoming more common.
 
@NHRJimFuller: Former #UConn star Geremy Davis among top 8 among WRs in 3-cone drill, 60-yard shuttle & broad jump at combine
http://runwayramblings.blogspot.com/2015/02/strong-showing-at-combine-for-uconns.html

>>Davis did the 3-cone drill in 6.86 seconds which tied him for the seventh best effort among 33 receivers who did the drill. He was also third out of 20 receivers in the 60-yard shuttle with a time of 11.28 seconds. Davis was eighth with a broad jump of 10-4, was in the middle of the pack with a 36.5 inch vertical leap and perhaps was at his best during the pass-catching gauntlet when he did not drop a pass during two runs of that drill.<<

>>Davis did not run the 40 but will get that opportunity at UConn's pro day on Mar. 31.<<
 
He might have helped on third and long this season?

If you want to make a case Diaco was punting games, that's your best evidence.

He was a 1000 yd receiver his jr year. I know we struggled at qb this year but... never mind.
 
Davis had a good day overall. I watched the entire day and when he was on he looked like he fit right in. What hurts him is the injury last season and the lack of a consistent quarterback. He will be a steal if drafted lower than the fifth round.
