The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Gee, didn’t see this coming

Let’s be honest. If two weeks ago you looked ahead to the first day after the NFL Combine and guessed what teams might say about Pat White, I’m sure a few of you who followed No. 5 the past four years would have predicted someone saying something like, “Kid’s a player. I want him on my side.”

Guess what?

As one GM said, “I want him on my team, and now I just have to figure out where I have to take him.”

White — now 6-foot-1 and 197 pounds! — did his thing with his feet and turned in a 4.55 40-yard dash (he was as fast as 4.49). Better yet, he did pretty well throwing the ball and his workout was said to be no worse than Mark Sanchez’s.  

“Pat White threw the hell out of the ball,” NFL analyst Mike Mayock said. “He’s opening up some eyes.”

All in all, not a bad showing. Greg Isdaner had among the shortest arms and smallest hands for offensive guards. Mortty Ivy ran the slowest 40 and did the second-fewest bench press reps among linebackers and will wait until pro day at Mountaineer Field to do the shuttle run, vertical leap, 60-yard dash, cone drill and broad jump.
