Blythe
- Thread starter ISUclones33
- Start date
If he's running a 4.4 I'd be asking where he got the steroids since he's never shown that speed throughout his career.
Todd Blythe will get drafted. People have forgotten about him b/c of his last 2 mediocre years. Those years where more about Meyer's struggles than Blythe's. Imagine Blythe with some other decent receivers next to him and a QB that can throw the deep ball. He will play in the league for many many years. I don't think some of you realize just how athletic this guy is
man if the best receiver ever to come out of Iowa is the 33rd best receiver that's bad news for Iowa.
Anyways, if that's the case, it's also sad for ISU. Because the only reason he would be ranked that low is because of the name on his jersey every week.
He will always be one of my favorite ISU receivers.... Now, there aren't a ton of them, but as of now for me it's him and Lane.

I would be curious to see his vertical numbers too. I think he could go in the middle rounds with a 4.4. I hope he does get drafted and has a nice, large G on his yellow helmet. 
Actually, I think they were more about the OL's struggles than either Meyer or Blythe. :wink:
Apparently the guy's learned how to run. Now if he learns how to finish clean routes and learns how to block the guy might be a decent NFL player...
IF Todd is running a 4.47 40 then he will probably end up in the 4rd-5th round range. Unfortunatly for him this is a deep WR draft. Speed is overrated at the combine though. Does any one remember Mike Mamula? He was fast and looked great at the combine. Looked like Tarzan, played like Jane. Cris Carter never ran better then a 4.6 and was never the fastest guy on the field. I just hope he gets a shot at playing time once he gets drafted. His career TDs vs catch numbers should get him drafted, once that happens it will be hard work and production that keeps him on the roster. I just hope its on the Vikings, they could use a huge red zone target.
I was thinking the same thing. They could use him and a quarterback would be nice too.
There will always be a place in the leage for a 6'5 wideout with sub 4.5 speed. Blythe is a great red zone target, looking at his career touchdown mark proves that. The only things Blythe needs to work on is blocking and being more physical, hes going to have trouble getting seperation from nfl corners. I think he will have a very good career. i would guess he will go mid 3rd round.
Maybe those numbers are hand-timed? If that's the case, you'd probably add a tenth at the combine since I think those are electronically timed. So, a 4.57, which is not bad at all. I'd say that puts him in the 5th or 6th round. If he does run sub 4.50 in the combine, he could creep into the 4th round.
I'm guessing Pitt will be looking for a tall receiver since Big Ben was whining about it a few weeks ago...
