Check out the 40-yard dash times, bench press reps, etc., of UGA football players
Georgia today released the results of its spring testing of the football team in the broad jump, vertical jump, 40-yard dash, 225-pound bench press reps and “NFL Shuttle” — five traditional measures of agility, speed and strength. (Descriptions of each test are at the end of this post.)
The team was broken down into three groups for testing: skill (WR, DB, TB); big skill (FB, QB, TE, LB, specialists); and linemen (OL, DL). All players were tested in all events unless an injury or illness precluded their participation.
Here, according to UGA, are the top-10 individual performances in each test for each group:

Event Descriptions from UGA:
Broad Jump: A test of explosive power. From a standing position, the player will jump horizontally as far as possible. Each player gets three attempts, with their best distance recorded.
Vertical Jump: A test of explosive power. From a standing position, the player will jump vertically as high as possible. Each player gets three attempts, with their best jump recorded.
40-yard dash: A measure of linear speed. The players will sprint 40 yards as fast as they can. They are timed from their initial movement through the finish line. Each player is timed by four different coaches. Each player gets two attempts, with their best time recorded.
225-pound rep test: A measure of upper body strength. Each player will bench press 225 lbs. as many times as possible without stopping. They must lock out their arms on each rep, and bouncing the bar off of their chest will cause that rep not to count. Each player gets one attempt at this event and their reps are recorded.
NFL Shuttle: A measure of agility and quickness. The player stands in the middle of a 10-yard space. He will sprint to his right 5 yards, touch the line with his hand and sprint back across his starting position for 10 yards, touch the line with his hand and then sprint back 5 yards through the starting position. This is a 20-yard shuttle. Each player gets three attempts, with their best time recorded.

Florida maybe 17-3 against us the last 20 years but we still have the all time series lead and.
1. We dont have to live in that god awful state.
2. We dont have to wear those god awful colors.
Its funny UF fans think they invented the game when for most of their history they were a doormat. One of the worst programs in the SEC.

@Gatorbait…
We can break down decades and years all day long-
From 1978-1989, Georgia won 10 games and Florida won 2. Same # of NC’s also.
You don’t think back in 30’s & 40’s folks talked about how terrible UF was or for that fact, from ‘78 to ‘89. It goes in cycles. Dawgs should prevail this year.
Sic ‘em! GATA!

Keep in mind the 40 times are on a track. The ones from the NFL combines/Pro days are on grass. There’s where a lot of the disparity arises from.

If Vance Cuff runs a 4.24 then Demaryus Thomas must run a 3.97 because he smoked him.

Fans are barking in the summer excited for the season!
It’s kind of sad to see all the Dawg fans getting so excited this year (just like the year before, the year before that, etc.). How long is it going to take for UGA fans to realize that UGA is simply no longer relevant in the SEC? In the national picture, UGA isn’t even a blip on the radar, and hasn’t been since the preseason #1 ranking two years ago.
Sit back and be grateful for the seven or eight wins you’ll get every year. Coaching genius Mark Richt may take you to 10-2 or even 11-1 occasionally, but Florida will still win the SEC, meaning no BCS bowls and no top 15 final ranking. Most years, UGA will be very lucky to finish in the top 25, and only after a big bowl win over a nobody opponent.
It’s a different world now, and Dawg fans, like FSU and Ole Miss fans, need to adjust their expectations downward to reflect reality.
Unfortunately nothing is going to change until UGA changes its mediocre coaching. That’s where the difference is, and that’s why everyone outside Bulldog Nation just laughs at Dawg fans getting so excited year after year about what a great recruiting class UGA gets. It doesn’t matter how many blue chip high school plays go to UGA, they simply don’t get the coaching they would get at Florida or Alabama, to name two schools whose programs are far ahead of UGA. And that’s not going to change as long as Mark Richt is in Athens.
Get your heads out of the sand and face reality. And mediocrity and irrelevance.

With top 5 or top 10 recruiting class year after year, why can’t head coach Mark Richt win the SEC? He can’t even beat Florida, so every year we get our heads handed to us in Jacksonville.
There’s a disconnect here, and it has to involve coaching. I don’t understand why Richt does not think he’s in the hotseat when he can’t beat Florida and his team loses games they shouldn’t, like the Tennessee and Kentucky fiascoes last year.

Surprised to see Samuel is not in the Big Skills Top 10 for Shuttle or 40 Dash. We’ve seen his top end speed, but he must not have the quickness. How will that translate to OLB?
