Mark Barron runs a 4.54 and 4.73

[Bonecrusher#31]

Alabama SS Mark Barron ran forty times of 4.54 and 4.73 at the Crimson Tide's Pro Day on Thursday.
The good news is he's healthy enough to run relatively long distances at full speed after postseason double hernia surgery. The bad news is Barron got off to a "dreadful start" on his second forty-yard dash, resulting in the 4.73. The two-time first-team All-American projects as a borderline first-round pick.

DeWare ran much faster than that.

I'd give him a look at 45. And I bet he'll still be there around 37+.

I dont think he will be. There's enough teams that need a safety in the teens and 20's, and he's highly regarded.

People will put more weight on the 4.54 time than the 4.73, also remember he's coming off double hernia surgery

Safety is all about instincts. Sensabaugh is probably one of the fastest guys around at the position, which probably explains the FO's fixation with him, but he's freaking retarded.

He has awful instincts. He also takes way too many plays off IMO.

Mark Barron >>>>> Harrison Smith

Examples though, because I haven't seen him take "too many plays off".

And who is allowed to take plays off under Nick Saban?? I think you're trying too hard to pimp up Harrison Smith.

I was talking about Sensabaugh you fool.

I would take Barron over Harrison Smith. I just don't think Barron makes it to 45, Smith might. Big dummie.

Dear god. Dontari Poe and Andrew luck are faster

he ran a 4.54 too you know

he's coming off freaking surgery, cut the guy a little slack

I don't think Barron is anywhere near in shape... I'm thinking he'll be ready once off season camps come rolling around.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

He also looked very fluid in coverage drills.

I'm glad at least one person stopped putting DeCastro in their top 10 picks.

Broaddus now saying that the staff went to Alabama's Pro Day to specifically look at Barron and came away impressed.
