Reid impressed with Ramik Wilson
Ramik Wilson, the Chiefs' fourth-round selection out of Georgia in this year's NFL Draft, noticed the difference between college football and the pros almost immediately.
"Everybody's great," he said after the Chiefs' last rookie minicamp practice Monday afternoon. "Everybody's fast; everybody's strong." Though Wilson comes from one of the country's premier college football teams and conferences in Georgia and the SEC, he quickly relinquished the idea that it could make competing in the NFL any easier. He realized that the professional realm is a whole different animal entirely, so his strategy was to place special focus on the details over the course of the past three days. "All the little things are going to help you," he said. "That's why I have to study my playbook harder, know my plays, my adjustments and I have to make all the calls, so I have to be on point for everything." Wilson, in many ways, has already been on point. He had one interception during live sessions on Sunday and collected two more on Monday. "He's got strong hands and he's got a knack for making plays here," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Wilson. "He's done a nice job, a very nice job." But even though Wilson acknowledged his very early success, he assured that he isn't close to being satisfied. "I've made a couple good plays here and there, but I had a couple in error," he said. "It's never going to be perfect, but I just have to correct the little things and once that's taken care of, I can take my game to another level." The coaching staff has already shared with Wilson what that may entail as he continues to work towards training camp. "Understand the game a little bit more, know my personnel, what plays I can get out of this formation, little tendencies, O-Linemen stances, quarterback mannerisms, stuff like that." It's a laundry list for a rookie who out of the gate has shown a lot of talent. As he walked off the field Monday, his rookie camp experience behind him, he said that he wanted to show the Kansas City coaches that he is a "big-time player that can help make an impact on the defense." Though there are many more practices to go before training camp, the former All-SEC linebacker is certainly off to a strong start. http://m.kcchiefs.com/s/30852/260?it...00856094784092 |

We had a guy run a "4.28". Hilarious. He flamed out at Texas A&M pretty fast
In college we had a white guy named Stan Zwinggi who claimed he ran at 4.18 at a football camp. Yet somehow he never managed to pick up a big d1 offer. At his pro day he ran a 4.5. http://www.zwinggi.com http://www.zwinggi.com/speedtest.pdf |

This is from today:
http://stats.catchitkansas.com/sunfl...Marks_2015.pdf According to the Kansas State High School Activities Journal February 2015 magizine, page 21, there are 9887 boys out for high school track in the state of Kansas. And from the link above, there are only 14 boys running 10.9 or better under the Fully Automatic Timing System. Last edited by Coogs; 05-20-2015 at 01:59 PM.. |

I think it's an overrated metric anyways for certain positions; how often is a mlb going to run 40 yds straight line? I'm getting off topic but I agree with your post |

Reid impressed with Ramik Wilson
Uh, no? My 40 time was hand timed. My 400 meters time was laser timed at state.

When I see this title, I tend to see the name as Rainn Wilson and I'm glad that Andy enjoys The Office.

I just went to the Missouri high school activities association web site. Last year at Missouri's state track meet, they had 7 guys run under 11.0. Seven.
Kansas had six under 11.0 at state last year. Last edited by Coogs; 05-20-2015 at 06:22 PM.. |
