Collins ran in the 4.3's (with one clocking at 4.28), 40" vertical, 4.16 short shuttle. He was getting bad grades as a corner; we got a Pro Bowl safety.Here's a guy from a small school with some bad tape, illustrating how productivity can be secondary.You don't have to look far to see high productivity college guys with unimpressive measureables top out at age 21 or 22. They are just good enough to be great...in college. That's why guys with big junior years followed by a fall off in their senior years plunge in the draft...there is fear the guy has already maxed out his upside.If you're looking for playmakers in the early rounds (which is what it's all about), you'd prefer to see that playmaker athleticism. It's no guarantee, but it increases the odds substantially.</blockquote>
