"After putting on a show in his workouts Sunday, Jones proved that he's also one of the fastest and most athletic receivers and made a strong case to be the first wideout taken in the draft.

Jones ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds, which was third fastest among all receivers. Former Georgia receiver A.J. Green, who many believed to be the best at his position, ran his 40 in 4.50 seconds."

That reminded me... I still needed to go install the YouTube button.  Now you can embed youtube videos directly in the post so you don't have to leave the site to watch:

Sweet.  This software seems to have a lot of potential.

I remember that game and I almost jumped off my recliner when he made that run. I think it would be between JJ and TR for the best recruit ever brought to Bama by CNS.

You can also specify the size, up to 780 wide.  Here is the code:

"Julio Jones already had a reputation for soldiering through injuries.
 
That reputation could reach legendary status after a report Monday that the former Alabama wide receiver worked out at the NFL Scouting Combine despite a foot fracture.

The injury will require surgery, according to NFL.com. Jones will need a screw inserted in his foot and eight weeks of rehabilitation, the website reported. "

Let me get this straight, he ran a 4.39/40 with a broken foot?  :o

Unbelievable!!!!    :o

I really wish we had him another year.... especially if there is a lock out.

I don't normally follow the NFL, but I may start watching JJ, HTWMI, and the rest of the gang just to see how they do.
