Well it doesn't matter. He still did terrible at the combine and as a result, hurt his own draft stock by even attempting the combine.

[@vincew4297]

He also still didn’t test well during Pro Day either so let’s not make excuses and act like the Hamstring was the issue. Jarvis just isn’t very athletic but he does have intangibles that make him a good receiver

[@PrinceInawRakah]

White ppls main goal is to twist the narrative enough to make it seem like blk men and white boys are equal in sports.. That’s why you don’t see too many unnecessary vids about white athletes that are disparaging and defamatory. That’s why every time Lebron loses a game, or Westbrook misses a shot, or Haney wins by decision, they try to throw dirt on their name. (Yes I brought race into it, idiots.)

[@MailFraud18]

@@PrinceInawRakah why bring race into it though? This is not opinion. This is fact. He did not do well at the combine and apparently not good at the pro day either. White people also do bad at the combine and pro days but that's not what we're talking about right now. If you feel that black people are ridiculed more in sports you may be right but it's because there are more chances for them to make a mistake. There are significantly more black people than white people in the NFL and NBA. Also, black people are not inherently better than white people in sports. Cooper kupp led the league in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns resulting in arguably the greatest season ever by a wide receiver as a white person. Tom Brady is at least top 3 qbs of all time as a white person. Larry bird was just about the most popular basketball player of the 80s along with magic Johnson as a white person. The list goes on.

I would like to share that there was a time in my life where I was completely broken. I didn't know where to turn. I tried crying out to family members and friends, that did not work. I finally cried out to Jesus, and he heard my cry. When the bible says God is near to the brokenhearted it is very true. I cried out to God in tears, and He eventually turned my sorrow to joy. I thank God for the gift of salvation that He gave me. Now I have a wife and 2 kids that God has blessed me with. Please stick in there and give God a chance to transform your life. Cry out to God no matter how broken you are.

[@jackpotjoey8828]

@@charliemirus4124 it’s a comparison to their combines (since that’s what the video is about) which both appeared bad and they both dropped far down in the draft, and then “surprised” everyone by being one of best at their position out of anyone else drafted before them. Only obj has been better while 12 other WRs were taken between them. Because in both situations, everyone ignored their work ethic, preparation, and understanding of the game. The whole Brady 6th rd pick, looking out of shape in his boxers at the combine, scoring low, etc is well known. Cool to see Landry had a similar experience and is proving the scouts wrong as well

He had a hamstring injury when doing the NFL combine. That's why his stats sucked.

[@sheer_1]

For anyone who is wondering, his 40 was 4.77. He can run 4.5 though. Either way, people need to accept that a 3 tenth of a second advantage in a 40 yard straight line tells you nothing.

[@eats4cheaps305]

It absolutely tells you something. 3 tenths of a second slower means a guy can't ever be a burner. 3 tenths of a second faster is Tyreek Hill... you're telling me that Tyreek Hill being .3 seconds faster than the dB covering him means nothing?

[@sheer_1]

@@eats4cheaps305 the 40 yard dash is an indicator of how fast a guy can run in a 40 yard straight line once or twice, maybe 4 times if the dude is a beast. That's literally all it tells you. If being faster than a guy means you'll beat him every time, Stanford Routt would have been the most unbeatable cornerback of all time. Instead, the dude got beat by "slower" guys pretty regularly despite his sub 4.3. Jalen Myrick ran sub 4.3 and was drafted like 5 years ago. He ended up playing special teams and was waived the next year I think. None of these dudes run 40 yard dash speed every play, or even anywhere close to it. It takes longer than 3 tenths of a second for a player to diagnose and adjust accordingly in a live game setting anyway. Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitz, Jerry Rice... none of them had impressive 40 times. All of them had monstrous success, and burned "faster" corners regularly.

[@anonymousperson3023]

It absolutely means something. You really like to downplay 3 tenths of a second. Lets put that on a track field. 40 yards aint even close to 100m. 3 tenths can be the difference between first and last in a 100m dash. And even ignoring that, would you not want to know who's faster? There are other things to measure and scout on but is speed really that low? 40 yd dash doesnt measure everything so dont act as if it is

[@sheer_1]

@@anonymousperson3023 there's just a liiiiiittle bit of a difference between lining up, running a route and beating a defender that has a 7 yard cushion and running in a straight line on a track out of starting blocks from the same starting point. I played football and ran track so I know the difference firsthand. I would smash people in the 40 yard dash who beat me in the 100m. That's because, as you mentioned, they're vastly different lengths. 40m dash measures how quickly you can accelerate and burst, which I excelled at and 100m dash is a combination of starting speed, top end speed and endurance. My block starts were awful which is what lost me way more than .3 seconds in every race. "40 yard dash doesn't measure everything so don't act as if it is"... yes, that's my point, thanks.

Jarvis is a baller, I always viewed him as a player on the same level as Beckham. Odell is more flash, Jarvis is more of an every down grinder. Both utterly excellent. Basically Jarvis is a combination of Robert Woods and Odell. This is a cold man, who taught Odell the one hand catch, and does everything you want from a receiver.

[@Justkj02]

Ion think he “taught” him to catch one handed. Back at LSU you they’d go out at night and throw to each other practicing the catch on both hands. I think the idea being that if the ball is thrown anywhere near you, you got a chance. But Odell has talked about this experience they shared when they played there.
