Bryon Jones and Geremy Davis get NFL Combine Invites

[Excalibur]

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.

@UConnAndrew: Geremy Davis' official NFL Combine numbers all looking pretty good, if not at least competitive: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tf5ZGmyq0XEpVGCntRIu1LQ/htmlview?pli=1# (via @NEPD_Loyko)

He was a 1000 yd receiver his jr year. I know we struggled at qb this year but... never mind.

2015 NFL Combine: 5 DB prospects to know
http://www.revengeofthebirds.com/20...5-db-prospects-to-know-5-to-watch-for-arizona

>>Byron Jones, CB UConn: The Huskies have produced a bevy of talent corners the last several years, and Jones is another in that line. He has the size and strength to handle bigger receivers, but, like Carter plays better when in zone coverage. Is he a quick twitch athlete?<<

 

[uconnbill]

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.

Someone just earned quite a bit of extra money for himself.

UConn CB Byron Jones, who jumped out of the gym, won’t run the 40 today. Still getting up to speed after surgery (really). Pro Day is 3/31

Former UCONN DC Hank Hughes predicted Byron Jones' incredible broad jump 1.5 years ago (Sept. 2013)!

Look up a few posts. You're slipping.

DAMN!

After I watched a few times, look at all the onlookers in the broad jump, flex their knees with him... Too funny

The best is the reaction of the player watching after he lands. https://vine.co/v/OQIWVPBW3BU

Second link has a scouting report on Byron from Daniel Jeremiah at the NFL Network. Says he's a starter from Day 1 in a press-man scheme.
