Pollard just continues to flat-out amaze me.

Did a little search...

A little bit of googling reveals that their 40 times were very similar (low 4.6 to high 4.5s). Based on 40 times I don't think you could say one was quicker than the other. Page seemed to do a little better in the short shuttle and cone drills, so he might be a little more quick with respect to cutting and start-stops.

John Lynch when he came out of Stanford ran a 4.64 40 at the combine.

It says that Jarrad Page ran a 4.63 at the combine & 4.51 at Pro day. His 20 yard dash was 2.72, & 10 yard dash was 1.59. He measured out at 6'1, 239.

Many here think that Pollard is the heavy hitter, while Page is suited for coverage, but they seem to be pretty comparable in those numbers, granted their lateral movement is going to be a large factor, as well as stop start, but I don't think it's any coincidence that you have Pollard coming out of the B10 having a more polished run support skills, and Page coming from the Pac10, w/ better coverage skills. How many of you on here knew that Page was actually bigger (weight -wise) than Pollard? Of course Pollard is an inch taller and could end up bulking up and be bigger.

Lynch can not cover for 2 shits these days, but he wasn't horrible back in his day. I also wonder how much he isn't encouraged to play run 1st no matter what usually, given they have Champ, and with Bly on the other side it doesn't seem like a huge gamble to have him cheat the line 90% of the time.
