Other than the fact that Will Fuller put up a great 40 time of 4.32, perhaps the storyline from this morning’s on-field workout for the receivers was how many didn’t run that well. Indeed, Fuller and TCU’s Kolby Listenbee (4.35) were the only receivers to clock under 4.4, while only two others – Cal’s Trevor Davis (4.42) and Ricardo Louis of Auburn (4.44) – were under 4.45; and neither of the latter pair are particularly highly rated. In contrast, while the official times for the second group of WRs have yet to be posted, Mike Thomas, arguably the 3rd rated receiver in the 2016 class, posted an unofficial hand-timed clocking of 4.57, while Tyler Boyd had an official time of 4.58. Among other disappointing times, DeRunnya Wilson barely broke the 4.9 mark, while Duke Williams, Nelson Spruce, and Demarcus Ayers all have times over 4.7 seconds, while the majority of receivers were in the 4.6 range. Should be noted though that none of Laquon Treadwell, Corey Coleman, and Pharoh Cooper did not run today.
