    Can't imagine him getting caught that often, wasn't Wallace the fastest guy in the league? This guy is just as fast.

    He's a DE. Push Ziggy down the road. I'd really like to see Shamarko Thomas but he will be gone early 4th I'm thinking

    Bleacher Report has him at a 4.43. Go to youtube and watch "ultimate highlights" and you'll see what I'm saying. I like his attitude and the way he carries himself though. He seems tough and like he'll fight for it though and that's what I like. He fights more for the ball in that little highlight reel than Wallace did his whole time here.

    Also Heyward-Bey ran a faster 40 than Wallace.

    Yeah that's correct. He impressed me in the Alabama game. Hadv3 sacks and beat the Bama o line all day

    This has his time as 4.34 (unofficial) http://eugenedailynews.com/2013/02/24/osus-markus-wheaton-runs-a-4-34-in-40-yard-dash/

    4.43 is nothing special, its fast but nothing special and wouldn't warrant comparisons to Wallace.

    Just saw on the home page that Haley says Wheaton plays faster then his 4.40 combine time. So just ran a slower time at the combine :shrug:

    Ok. I was thinking that he wasn't that fast from watching his reel on youtube. Me and Blast Furnace were getting conflicting reports on that. I still think he's better all around than Wallace though.

    I can't run a 40 period. But the few yards I can run are awesome. It's like Little Jimmy Dickens said "You know you're old when you're wife says honey let's run up stairs and make love and your answer is I can not do both".

    You can run a faster 40 than Rich Eisen so maybe you should be an analyst. LOL.

    We were talking about Wheatons 40, not Jones. Jones 40 doesn't matter, a WR's definitely matters.
