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.

Good luck stopping me and our HS offense. LOL! Can’t wait to see all the puppies crying when you lose to SC, ARK, GT and UF as usual. Throw another unexpected loss in there, maybe to Idaho State. LOL! and you have yourself another 7-5 season. Then, you all can make excuses and say it’s a rebuilding year, or it’s CMR fault. Your team has been rebuilding since the Herschel days, and that was what………….1980? Get a clue, get a life, as your team is overated every year. When you cannot beat a team more than 3 times in 21 years, you should begin backing your men’s baseball team……………oh, that;s right, they suck too…………maybe your men’s basketball team……..no, my bad, they suck too…………….maybe your women’s softball team……….no, they lost as well………….maybe, become a real football team, like the GATORS that you all love.

Florida beat by Georgia.
Florida, who was in the Softball College World Series Final Game last year, beat by Georgia 3-2 tonight.
The Georgia Bulldogs also beat the other team in the College World Series Final Game last year with 2-time College Player of the Year
Danielle Lawrie for last year’s Softball College World Series National Champions Washington Huskies had some very unkind words afterwards, last night.
“When you’re facing a good offensive team and they’re getting breaks like that constantly, it can be hard on you,” Lawrie said. “I think a lot of stuff fell for them today.”
Georgia beat Lawrie last year in the Softball College World Series too, 9-8.
Georgia is in the loser’s bracket after losing to the vols 7-5 in a hard fought game where we gave up a Grand Slam.
But, on this night, we kept our hopes alive by Beating Florida.
We have a great hitting team, and although we are in the loser’s bracket with 1 loss our elimination 50-12 Georgia eliminates hapless hitting Florida 49-10.
The last 5 Florida hitters all struck out against UGA pitcher Erin Arevalo to snuff out a Florida rally and secure a 3-2 win for Georgia on Saturday night at the Women’s College World Series.
Georgia Bulldogs Softball College World Series continues today at 1 p.m. against UCLA on Channel 846 ESPN (That’s channel 46 for you RED DOG 77.)
3 of the 8-team Softball College World Series are SEC teams. Florida is the 1st ousted. (Seems Georgia does a better job of ousting Florida than AltamahaDawg does of me.)
If needed, there are 2 more games today at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. also both on Channel 847 ESPN2, except for RED DOG 77, who will find it on Channel 47, since he cannot afford HDTV, even yet.
If UGA can beat UCLA at 1 p.m, we get to play them again at 7 p.m. today.
Florida was the 4 seed in the Softball CWS. UCLA is the 5 seed.
6-seed UGA would be the highest seed should we knock out UCLA at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Caleb King has taken some knocks for his bench reps so here is a little background for ya’ll. King broke his leg in his senior season so he couldn’t do any lower body work. King concentrated on upper body work and reported to UGA at 215 lbs. The extra weight cost King some quickness so he had to drop 10 lbs in his freshman year. King is comfortable in the 205 to 210 range so don’t look for him to bulk up by doing much on the bench. Remember, King runs with the ball, he doesn’t push the blocking sled around at practice.

I still say we have the toughest schedule in Div I NCAA football. Just look at it. The teams we play are loaded with talent. Vandy, KY, Miss St., Idaho whomever, Louisiana whomever, Arkansaw, Tennessee. My guess is that these teams above are ranked between 100 and 1000 on SOS. LMFAO! I still say we win it all and if we don’t, it’s because we are rebuilding. Something we take great pride in every year at UGAG. Maybe, we can beat UF before 2020, just maybe………………LOL!

JerkitManClassOf84, It must take an enormous amount of energy to maintain the continous level of delusional thought shown by you and your bizzy-buzzy kind. Does it come from being beaten down so badly for so long or have the chemistry majors been putting a little something extra in the Kook-Aid?
BTW, the number 2 WR in GA (Zachary Witchett) committed to UGA Friday. That gives us the top two WRs in the state in next years class. Dawg fans check out his highlights on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4VzMbCB_k This shows a man among boys.
He has speed and strength to carry would-be tacklers with him.

4th year here and he has not had 1 good game against any Opponent with any run defense.
None.
He DOES have to PUSH the sled to run the football against good run defenses.
And, so does the OFFENSIVE LINE.
Neither of which have.

If a rather small RB has to push defensive linemen out of his way he will not gain many yards. However, if he has good lateral quickness and can explode through a crack in the defense he can gain a lot of yards. With a HEALTHY offensive line both King and Ealey will do well. Also, look for Jackson and Thomas to contribute.

you are being logical in your thinking which is a mistake. BuLLdawg’s obsession with Caleb King defies logic. And math, since that RB has been on campus three years. I am guessing BuLLdawg doesn’t understand that one half plus one half equals ONE year and not TWO years. We can put fraction addition on the list of things he doesn’t understand.
Duh.

I have read that UGA is on an Up-Swing.
Then, I read the same people saying that we will lose 3 more SEC games this up-coming season. Your expectations are too low.
Is it unrealistic to want to be better than 10-3 after 10 years of recruiting, meaning that for the 1st 5 years we were good and that for the last 5 years, we haven’t even been to The SEC Championship Game ?
29-6 Florida vs SEC the last 4 years
23-11 Alabama vs SEC the last 4 years
21-12 LSU vs SEC the last 4 years
20-12 Georgia vs SEC the last 4 years
I would dearly love to hope that the program is on an up-swing.
Is it ?
The Stuff of Legend says 10-3 with loss to Auburn who hasn’t been all that great and probably won’t be all that great this season – not named in the Top 25 for this up-coming season, loss to Florida who is supposed to be offering everyone in The SEC East our best chances at beating them this season, and a loss to South Carolina who hasn’t been all that great and probably won’t be all that great this season – not named in the Top 25 for this up-coming season.
We have a soft easy schedule. We play 1 team ranked in the Top 25 all season. In the last 4 years in this division of this conference, we have beat 1 Top 25 Final AP Poll team, which was 2007 beating a 4-loss Florida. Of the 6 games these last 4 years in The SEC East who ended up ranked teams in the Top 25 Final AP Poll, we beat 1 a 4-loss team.
We have continued to have losses to teams who are not that great. Teams who do not end up at the end of the season ranked teams, but they beat us. This number now stands at 8 such losses in the first 9 years of this program.
We struggled in recruiting in this state on offense 2010.
Every single article you read, says that Coach Richt feels that his offensive coaching staff has issues and needs help / replacing.
Everywhere you turn, there is discussion of just how this program is not on an up-turn, and the Coach on the hot seat. I wish he was not. I like Coach Richt as our Football Head Coach. He is stubborn, however, and does have significant issues in discipline, graduation rates, and his coaching staff had to replaced – all except for the Offense, who many believe was what needed to be replaced most after Willie Martinez.
We have this season 11 returning starters on offense, the 2 best kickers in America returning on any team in the nation, and a defense which obviously is high on talent and with a top coaching staff. We have an easy schedule, however, and according to The Stuff of Legend we are going to go 10-3 which means with 3 SEC losses, no SEC Championship Game appearance for the 5th year in a row this up-coming season.
After this season, we lose 15 seniors and there are those who say as many as 6 juniors who are NFL draft eligible, might also leave. These are all the starters across the board on the entire football team are maybe gone at the end of this season. How good are we going to be in 2011 without 20 of the starting players ?
Are these unrealistic expectations for The Georgia Bulldogs’ Football Program that we could have spent the same monies on an Offensive Coaching Staff as we just did on the Defensive and Special Teams’ Coaching Staffs ?
Is it unrealistic to hope that with 11 returning players on Offense this season, that we should do far better than 3 more SEC losses in 2010 with this soft schedule of 1 ranked team on the entire schedule, and they – Florida – offer the rest of this division of this conference all of our best hopes to beat them finally.
I think with all due respect that you are being unrealistic to state in public that we are on an up-swing. We certainly have not been the last 4 years in The SEC – can’t we hope to be better than 4th in our own conference ? Against SEC East opponents, we are 3rd worst in our own division of our own conference over the last years.
19-1 vs SEC East Opponents last 4 years Florida
14-6 vs SEC East Opponents last 4 years Tennessee
10-1- vs SEC East Opponents last 4 years Georgia
We certainly at 10-3 are not improving upon that this season, either. And, after this season, we lose nearly every starting football player on both sides of the football. How good are we going to be in 2011 without them ?
It is very easy to go look at the 15 seniors and everyone knows AJ Green is gone after this season, Houston is gone, Boykin is clearly gone, Jones is looking good for a high draft pick at this time, with a good season this year, there might be more Juniors looking at where they might be in the NFL Draft Picks.
We gut the team after this year and we are supposed to consider this another rebuilding year ?
We were 9-5 last year. I thought that was our rebuilding year ? How many rebuilding years do we need 3 ? We are supposed to think 3 more SEC losses this year is just fine ? When do we address the Offensive Coaching Staff, if not after the last 4 years in a row of 21 fumbles a year, 4 years in a row of # 96 in Penalties, poor Strength and Conditioning Numbers for the Offensive Players, and 4 years in a row 14 interceptions a year.
After we do that again this 2010 season ?
After we graduate them all after 2010 and with the similar numbers WE obviously will put up in 2011 losing all the starters we have returning this 2010 season ?
Up-swing ? What up-swing ?

FYI for everyone… Boykin did not participate in the 40 yard dash or the bench press… they also have his and Brandon Smith’s NFL Shuttle backwards… Boykin actually ran a 3.8 and Smith ran a 3.9. Boykin is the best athlete on the team hands down… I dare someone to challenge me on this.

To everyone saying that those 40 times are not possible, you are either getting stop watch timed runs and digital timed runs confused or you have never ran a 40 yard dash. Those are all perfectly reasonable 40 yard dash times timed with a stop watch. Now if these were timed digitally then I would also be calling bs. If you never played football or ran the 40 yard dash then you shouldn’t be commenting anyway.
On another note Cornelius Washington is a beast.
And on a final note, I would like to point out that Aaron Murray had pretty much the same 40 yard dash and shuttle time as Logan Gray. Yet Gray is such a superior athlete. Give me a break.

Are these 40 times a little misleading? Probably, so are the players weight and height measurements put out by the PR department. High schools do this also and I have never understood why. We can learn something from these stats however. Washington probably weighs closer to 250 than 260 and is a little slower than advertised, but he is big and he is faster than most UGA WRs, including Green. If an offense wants to roll their QB out to avoid Houston they are rolling him right at Washington. Vance Cuff may not be another Neon Dion, but he was faster on that day than Smith, and that’s pretty freakin’ fast! Smith, Boykin, and Cuff, some kind of speed at CB! Rambo and Williams ain’t exactly slow at safety either. UGA may have one of the fastest defenses in the SEC, especially on the edges. So it would seem an OC would try to attack the middle where UGA has three new starters. A lot is going to depend on those new linemen.
