NFL Combine: Speed thrills for all but Ohio State's Beanie Wells

INDIANAPOLIS - The story of the second day of combine workouts was speed. Those who flaunted it moved up, and one high-profile player who failed to show much of it moved down.

A 4.57 in the 40 for Beanie? I have a feeling he hasn't been working out much lately. That's a slow speed for any RB, but I think back to the big runs he's had against Michigan and Florida - those 60+ yarders. He blew right by the linebackers and easily outran the DB's. At one time he probably had 4.4 speed. He'll get it back, but his stock has most likely dropped quite a bit.

That is still alot faster than Knowshown Merno's 4.63. He is a powerback not a reggie bush back.

Thats too bad about Brian Shaffer. The area east of campus is not good. And the crimes in that area have getting worse and more freequent.
