Based on this, Conley is Faster, Stronger and much more explosive than Jones, but Jones is quicker. This obviously only measures phsyical traits, not ability, catching or work ethic etc, but the number comparison is impressive. |
I really have been curious about that 3-cone drill.
It's bad. I mean that's just a flat out bad 3-cone time for a WR. When I look at the tapes, I don't see a guy that should be that bad at that drill and if he is, I wonder why.
With his quickness (evidenced by the 10 yard split), his 3-cone should have been far better than that, especially given that he really doesn't look that stiff on tape. I almost wonder if he mis-stepped during the drill.
