    Sinkfield

    I'm confused on all the haters out there about Sinkfield. I completely understand hand timed vs FAT

    But hear me out...his 40 number is not just off the chart...so is his vertical jump and broad jump. As far as I know...if there are 13 pro scouts/teams at the event...can't they all agree on his vertical and broad jumps. Doesn't seem like those numbers could be fudged...

    We can add .2 and he is still ridiculously fast at this years combine.

    http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-perfo...-LB-CB-OL-SPEC
    His Pro Day 40.5 inch vertical is tied for third at the combine.

    http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-perfo...-LB-CB-OL-SPEC
    His Pro Day broad jump is 11 ft 5 inches and that would get him 2nd at the combine.

      Re: Sinkfield

      I love the exposure UNI is getting but what happened that we didn't use this type of athlete in the correct way? I NEVER saw him race down the sideline like Kenny Shedd used to do every week. Sawyer has the arm so you would have thought we would have seen that more. Seriously I think it makes us look silly.

        I am watching cbs sports network and sinkfield was the lead topic. They talked about him for a couple minutes and then gottlieb went on to talk about warner and how UNI can produce nfl players.

          We'd have at least one more if Boothby didn't decide he'd rather help save lives for a living. Jerk.

            He was super productive, but way undersized to play in the NFL, IMO.

            As for Sinkfield, the vertical and broad jump numbers show his 40 time is at least plausible. That said, I always thought Jared Herring was the fastest guy we had during his tenure. Sinkfield only played one more year, correct? My point is, it's not like Sinkfield shaved .3 seconds off his time in one year, or I assume not.

              Sinkfield had a quarterback for two years that never could have gotten him the ball on a deep route.

                My husband - HUGE NFL guy and football know-it-all -- was highly skeptical of all of this yesterday morning. By last night, he was convinced. This is all pretty cool.
                "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."
