From the @MemphisFB Pro Day today, RB Blake Watson wowed NFL personnel.
Scouts really liked the film, but had questions on athleticism and speed.
At 5096 and 200 pounds (โผ๏ธ) he ran a 4.40 (times in high 4.3s/low 4.4s.)
As compared to NFL Combine RBs:
โ 4.40 forty (4th best)
โ 41.5 vert (T-1st)
โ 11โ3 broad (1st)
Seems like surefire draft pick despite no NFL Combine invite. Three 30 visits so far, imagine heโll have at least a few more after this.
Another special Memphis NFL RB!

Blake Watson said he was in the 4.3s on his 40 yard dash. Said his goal was to hit โ4.3 anything.โ
On the notion that heโs just a pass-catching back: โIโm almost a 3-time 1,000-yard rusher, so I think I can do a little more than pass catch.โ
