Not blowing them away in the combime

I'm sorry but that grading system is dumb. Here's where Richie stacked up amongst his peers:

40 yard dash: 4.48 - 12th
Vertical: 35.5 - 11th
Broad Jump: 122.0 - T11th
3 Cone Drill: 6.87 - 8th
20 Yard Shuttle: 4.16 - 7th
60 Yard Shuttle: 11.44 - 6th

I'm not going to count his 6 reps on the bench as a negative because he said he hadn't even benched much prior to the Combine as he was recuperating from the collarbone injury.

He also had one of the best gauntlet runs of the day. Hands down.

So out of 44 WR participants, he goes out there and puts up top-10 to top-5 range numbers, yet is rated 35th.

Spare me...

The only thing that I know he wishes he could do again would be the 40.

While 4.48 is nothing to scoff at, he needed top turn some heads there. I'm also wondering why the receivers weren't given second runs but OL were?

All in all, I think here lined himself up for a big pro day. He certainly only helped himself out there yesterday.

We all know what a playmaker Richie is. I just hope the scouts can look past his size and see what he can do on tape. If he can get his foot in the door on special teams I think he can prove himself

I could really see him being the next Devin Hester. Same size and ability to read the field
