Honestly not as bad as I thought it might be. His game isn't built on speed so 4.51 is decent for him, but the SS and 3 cone were terrible.FWIW, Golden Tate has a similarly disappointing combine - 4.42, 7.12, 4.34, 35" vertical.Woods had a very disappointing combine. While I didn't agree with others that thought he was very athletic, I expected him to be quicker.Woods: 6-0 3/8 201, 4.51, 33.5 vertical, 4.4 short shuttle, 7.15 3 cone, 9'9 broad jump
16) Robert Woods WR USC
6-1 190
2010: 65 receptions, 792 yards, 12.2 6 TD
2011: 111 receptions, 1,292, yards, 11.6 15 TD
2012: 73 receptions, 813 yards, 11.1 11 TD
Comparison: Lance Moore
Notes:
-Got demoted to the #2 option when Marqise Lee emerged late in 2011.
Analysis:
Woods has a small frame, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends measuring under 6'0” at the NFL Combine. Great hands catcher, rarely drops passes. Very quick player, possesses elite quickness. Only average speed when compared to his quickness (perhaps a 4.48/40 type of a player). Not a great YAC player. Sometimes he makes defenders miss and sometimes he goes down very easily versus a college DB. Not a very physical player, can get manhandled. Ran many short routes and gimmick type plays at USC.
FF wise:
-Woods has some flaws to his game and he might be limited to slot duty in the NFL. However, some WRs have excelled at the next level in the slot. If he can gain strength he might be able to play outside. In a perfect scenario, WR2 in FF; more than likely a WR3 at best. I would probably look elsewhere in your rookie drafts.
