NCAA | Hester blazes in the 40
Sat, 4 Mar 2006 14:42:44 -0800

The Associated Press reports Miami CB Devin Hester ran a stunning time of 4.27 seconds in the 40-yard dash at Miami's timing day for all 32 NFL teams Saturday, March 4. He ran a 4.41 at the Indianapolis combine last month, finishing a disappointing ninth among defensive backs. Switching from an indoor surface to an outdoor field likely helped Hester.

If we don't get Skyler Green, I would seriously look into this guy. Not only as our permanent returner, but also as a DB if he actually develops into one.

I wouldn't, unless he fell into the later rounds, but some team will likely take him mid Day One. Honestly, it's dangerous to fall in love with guys who have great workouts but don't have the college production to go along with it. No one has ever questioned Hester's athleticism, but the guy lacks a true position. He may actually be more suited to WR in the pros, but any where you put him, he's going to be a project. I'd rather take a more developed athlete who is going to contribute earlier.

Fourth round at the earliest (and I'm a Cane fan).

I think he will be taken before 4th Round. Its not often you find a great return man like him.
