Coby Fleener creates buzz at Stanford Pro Day

This was on PFT by Evan Silva
Quarterback Andrew Luck is the headliner at Thursday’s Stanford Pro Day, but tight end Coby Fleener stole the early spotlight by ripping up the track and testing well throughout his workout.
Multiple reports had Fleener running in the mid-4.4s in the forty. ESPN’s Todd McShay had Fleener at 4.45, and so did CBS’ Bruce Feldman.
Mayock’s stopwatch read 4.51, but it’s still a very fast time for a 6-foot-6, 247-pound human being.
“That is flying at 247,” said Mayock. Mayock also reported that Fleener had a 37-inch vertical and broad jump north of 10-feet. “They’re extremely athletic numbers,” Mayock added. “Those are defensive back, wide receiver-type numbers.”
For comparison, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski ran 4.65 with the wind and 4.73 against the wind at Arizona’s 2010 Pro Day. Gronkowski is the same height as Fleener, and 11 pounds heavier. But Fleener is much faster in a straight line.
In PFT’s first mock draft of the 2012 offseason, Fleener was the 29th overall pick.
Ohio FanaticSupportergets me all tingly. Given the choice, I'd rather invest in an elite TE with good, fast WRs rather than a #1 WR and good TE, especially in a system like Philbin's.

SICKForum Veterandraft tannehill #8 and trade up to get Fleener!

PhinsRDbestForum VeteranI trust Ireland to get him, if not Fasano is as elite as they come.
Alex44New MemberLuck is not the star of his pro day. Every single GM knows he is going #1 and I doubt anyone is even watching him for that reason.
I wouldn't mind trading back and picking up Fleener along with an extra pick if there isn't a WR available we rate higher.
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.
HardKoreXXXNew MemberTake Fleener at #8. **** it.

jldolfanSupporterWe need to come out of this draft with play makers, not grunts. It would be a great draft if we could come away with Fleener and Tannehill or Weeden. Of course we still need a pass rusher, right tackle and a guard a wide receiver...................
Imagine him stretching the middle of the field and then allowing for Brandon Marshall to get single coverage so he could take the top off the defense...

Uhhhh...it's a bit late for that.

Alex44New MemberOkay I wanted to make sure you knew :lol: I'm terrible at breaking bad news to people.
Anyway I'm alright without Marshall. Would love to have him but in our system his numbers will be replaceable by even a lesser talent as there will be less emphasis on one WR being "the guy"

just hope brandon marshall doesn't confuse the play for his drop kick play.
thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.

Guy scores 5 TD's in the Pro Bowl....but only 6 during the season and people feel all is lost without him.
PandarillaForum VeteranI'm sold. Just get Alshon Jeffrey and Coby Fleener and I'll regard it as a solid draft.

I think out PL is set with Murtha at RT
I really only see a pass rusher and QB as the biggest needs with WRs and. Seam TE as secondary needs.

That makes no sense. You could probably trade back to 15 or so, still get Tannehill and acquire some picks so a trade up for Fleener wouldn't be as painful.
I don't think that will be possible. Come next month, I'll be worried Cleveland will draft Tannehill at #4.

It is possible, however looking at Holmgren's draft history, I do not think he is the type to reach on a quarterback.

Maybe not. Still I think the dolphins have to draft him at #8 if they want him.

meh, he would've either dropped the pass or mysteriously be forced out of bounds.
djphinfanSupporterCoby Fleener is a freak..The size speed ratio is off the charts, the athleticism is eloquent and explosive, the man can literally line up at flanker and get reps..Rip the seam, cut and deek at full speed..an absolute dynamic player, top 20 pick, been saying my strategy is to get in the first round twice, you wanna talk about a redone threat..
The big question, is Fleener on our board?
Trade down to 17 with bengals for that and 21 plus our 3rd from the bears, Floyd and fleener all day
2013 draft wish list (10/10/12)
Round 1 - Keenan Allen - WR - Cal
Round 2 - Kenny Vaccaro - FS - Texas
Round 2 - Jordan Poyer - CB/KR - Oregon State
Round 3 - Tank Carradine - DE - FSU
Round 3 - Kevin Reddick - ILB - North Carolina
