Jairus Byrd, Oregon’s quick defensive back who did not participate in the Ducks’ pro day, held a private workout for scouts Thursday indoors on FieldTurf. He has decent size at 5-foot-10, 201 pounds, and impressive change of direction with a 4.10 short shuttle and 6.75 three-cone drill, but lacks pure speed as he ran a 4.68 and 4.69 in the 40. He also had a 35-inch vertical and did 15 bench press lifts.


You've got to wonder if the groin influenced his time. I wasn't expecting 4.4, but 4.68 doesn't match up with the speed he played with at Oregon and it doesn't fit with a 35 inch vert really, either.

I sent a couple Steeler scouts to his workout after selecting him in our mock and we got a 4.50 hand time in the 39 yard dash. :?

I knew I shoul've taken Asher Allen, I liked him more all along anyhow. It was Byrds 17 picks that did it for me

I knew he wouldnt break 4.6. Said it all along. Now you gotta question if he can play the position.
