RE: Rice Pro Day Today
Actually, the video is clearly at Cowboys stadium. View it if you don't believe it.
He did it again, albeit potentially even faster.

I believe it. I know he can boom punts. Given that you posted in response to the event in Dallas, I assumed you were talking about Martens and McGuffie at the same event.

Yeah, I got confused too because I didn't think Martens was up there.
I'm wondering if the final results from the Super Regional combine are going to get posted, and if Sam's results will get him a shot at being drafted in the late rounds.

RE: Rice Pro Day Today
Going back to the 40 times, NFL.com gives the time as a generic "4.3 second range" which sounds like saying "4.3-ish" to me and sounds like they were unhappy with the precision of their timing "equipment" (aka thumbs). Too bad he wasn't at the main combine with electronic timing, but I think he's on the record at 4.32 with electronic timing a couple years ago.

The diverse job description of the slot receiver in the NFL leads evaluators to covet prospects with versatile skills. McGuffie definitely qualifies, based on his standout career as a running back/receiver at Rice following a one-year stint at Michigan. He finished with over 1,000 yards rushing and receiving at Rice, displaying intriguing skills with the ball in his hands. McGuffie routinely turned quick passes and bubble screens into big gains, while also showing the ability to work effectively between the hashes. He continued to impress scouts with his talent at regional combines. He clocked 40 times in the 4.3-second range while also posting impressive measurements in the vertical jump (40.5 inches), broad jump (11-foot-2) and short shuttle (4.02 seconds). Those numbers place McGuffie near the top of the charts among his peers in the 2013 draft class. Now, McGuffie's injury history (numerous concussions) is a concern, but his combination of speed, quickness and running skills will make him a strong late-round prospect in draft rooms across the league.
