I don't know where my first shuttle numbers came from, though. I agree about watching them on the field: A.J. Hawk was a guy who ran fast but didn't play fast.
and the biggest winners from the Te'o circus are Alec Ogletree and Kevin Minter. Minter blazed a 4.81 himself, and is three inches shorter than Te'o. Ogletree maybe had the worst Combine out of the three: 4.70 is mediocre for a coverage linebacker who doesn't take on blocks, and his shuttle / cone times were also pedestrian. the fact he was getting drunk a few weeks before the biggest workout of his life scares me -- players that don't care don't last long in the NFL.
