The last two Heisman Trophy winners squared off at the NFL scouting combine yesterday. Both were super, super impressive. With Winston's shoulder strength now in doubt, the focus is turning more to Mariota, who threw long, to receivers he was unacquainted with, with ease. Something he didn't do much in college simply because he didn't have to.
He removed all doubt about his athleticism as well, besting Famous Jamis in every fitness skill required.
Mariota was top-tier, having run one of his 40-yard dashes in 4.52 seconds -- or faster than 10 of the wide receivers who ran in their workouts Saturday -- to go with a 36-inch vertical jump and a 10 foot, 1-inch standing broad jump. He had the fastest 40-yard dash time among all 15 quarterbacks as well.
Winston, at 231 pounds, ran his two 40s in 4.97 and 4.99 seconds, respectively, to go with a 28 ½-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 8-7.
IF I was looking for a QB I'd go with the one who has demonstrated less drama in his personal life. Knowing he has the greater physical skills would make that decision easier.
Knowing the NFL, their GMs will do just the opposite.
