The Latest Scouting Combine Buzz; Maybin runs a 4.78 - 40 yard dash

Penn State Linebacker Aaron Maybin, a projected top 20 pick ran the 40 yard dash in the unofficial time of a 4.78 this morning. As reported last week it was speculated that Maybin gained 12-15 pounds and that appears to be the case. Maybin weighed in at 249lbs.

Wakes Forest Linebacker Aaron Curry regarded as the top linebacker entering the draft ran the 40 yard dash in the unofficial time of 4.54. Curry is believed to be getting consideration as the #1 pick according to recent reports.

Center A.Q. Shipley helped his stock as he ran a 5.19 40-yard dash and also bench-pressed 225lbs - 33 times. Shipley is still seen as a mid-round selection because of his size but teams like him and feel he has value. There could be a team out there that takes him earlier than most people think he will go.

Mixed reviews on Derrick Williams who ran the 40 yard dash in the unoffical time of 4.58. He needs to improve that time in his pro day. Two of the Steelers AFC North rivals, the Ravens, and Bengals were seen speaking to Williams according to a report.

Wide out Deon Butler ran a 4.38 in the 40 yard dash. Butler was also a standout in the 60 yard shuttle ranking third among wide receivers ( 11.32)

RB LeSean McCoy didn't improve his stock nor hurt it. He did not run because of the flu. McCoy is still viewed as the #3 running back on the board. Needs a solid pro day to guarantee a first round selection.

LB Scott McKillop ran the 40 yard-dash in the unofficial time of 4.77.

Don Banks of SI.com writes that “White threw the ball accurately and with authority" and improved his stock. White ran a 4.55 40-yard dash which was impressive but scouts are raving about how well he threw the ball.

“I’ll tell you who looked good today and that was Pat White,” a long-time assistant coach told Banks. “He really helped himself with that workout. He made people recognize him as a quarterback.”

Said another scout to Banks: “He was sharp and he made all the throws you want to see. Our quarterbacks coach said he looked better than most people anticipated.”
