Sorensen's Combine

Sorensen ran the fastest 40 time of all the BYU football players in the NFL combine last week. He thought he could've run faster and vowed to do so on BYU's pro day, which is scheduled for March 14 on campus.



In the three-cone drill shuttle, which measures the ability to change direction at full speed, Sorensen had the best time of any defensive back in the combine. His mark of 6.7 seconds was the fastest NFL combine time by a safety since 2006, the second-best time among all defensive backs (including corners), and the fifth-fastest time from any position overall in eight years.



Sorensen ran a 10.80 time in the 60-yard shuttle, and that was the best time recorded by any safety in the past nine combines and ranked fourth-best among all in the combine in nine years. Only Oregon State wide receiver Brandin Cooks (10.72) was faster this year.

I'm not sure Sorensen should run again at BYU pro-day. Maybe re-run the 40 - if he thinks he can change his time by .05 or greater. But he should not rerun any cone drills.

It's not difficult to conceive that his performance at the Combine will help him go from Undrafted to sixth round or seventh.

Even without his breakout combine performance, Sorenson SHOULD have been picked up late in the draft for his special teams play and a safety who could fill in if needed.

He wasn't on anyone's draft board. And I haven't seen him on one after. But somebody has been paying attention.

There was a game where an analyst was talking about scouts being impressed with Sorenson, especially his ST play. Certainly has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

Yeah, but once you get out of the first couple rounds, the draft boards become about as useful as that white roll of paper by the toilet.

Actually white rolls of toilet paper are pretty dang useful in my book! ;)

You're right. I should have said that the two are only useful for the same thing.
