Some numbers from his Pro Day. Not sure the 3 Cone and short shuttle are correct as those are some of the worst times if not the worst times I've ever seen for a Edge rusher.

DE Jaylon Ferguson Pro Day results (from an NFL exec):
Ferguson has all the physical attributes to be very good and his production is better then everyone but doesn't those 3 cone and short shuttle times scare you? I really thought he was going to test well and I had him as a possibility for us at #37. Also, would you consider Ferguson a true 4-3 defensive end or do you think he could play in a 3-4? Thanks
But those numbers are pretty bad. Quite surprised but Terrel Suggs had some bad numbers too. There comes a point where the tape is so good that you can't ignore it. This may drop him a bit though.
3 cone surprises me the most.
Didnt realize he is 11 pounds heavier than Sweat too Â
At Pro Day, weighing in at 271 pounds, nearly 10 pounds heavier than where he played during his senior season where he stockpiled 17.5 sacks and 26 total tackles-for-loss, the defensive end ran a 4.75 40-yard dash, had 24 reps on the bench press and had a 32-inch vertical

It is notable. But I think further information needs to be acquired. Did he slip? Did he nurse any soft tissue injuries in training? He doesn't play slow on tape, that is for sure. Stiffness is on my report, no denying that. I think he has the frame to be a versatile 5-tech for the 3-4 and run defending 4-3 DE. Exactly what NYG is looking for actually.
says the Giants love him, and it's easy to see why when you watch his tape. He's relentless with heavy hands and good pass rush moves, although the stiffness is evident. The incident when he was 18 apparently won't affect him, but he also had a public intoxication charge IIRC.
Gettleman got rid of Hart, Flowers, Apple, Harrison, and Beckham for "character" reasons, so it would be somewhat surprising if they used a first round pick on Ferguson. He has also said he doesn't want to play in cold weather. But he does fit what they need.

These kids can mature you know. They are still quite young coming out of College. The Giants delve deep enough and meet with these kids to see if they are on the path to becoming men (or if they at least show the willingness to mature).
RE: Didnt realize he is 11 pounds heavier than Sweat too Â
Chubb had a pretty bad 3 cone too. Tape is just too darn good to ignore.
Chubb had a 7.09 3 cone. That isn't pretty bad for a 227 RB. However over 8 second 3 cone is insanely bad. I looked briefly at the Combine for DL that ran over 8 and so far I have only found one who ran 8.02 which is still faster than Jaylon. It is from NG 336 lb Daylon Mack! Not to mention the combine is a slower track than pro days.
That time is horrendous. 3cone usually shows bend and change of directions. DE is very important to have these skills. I hope we don't touch this kid.

Yes an over 8 3 cone is ridiculous. It doesnt make sense to me though when you watch the tape. There are guys where the production is so good that it overcomes the lack of certain measurables. Its more often this way than vice versa. Suggs was an example of this. And he broke Suggs sack record.

having a 4.84 40 time is nothing like a 8+ 3cone... I mean that would be like Suggs running 5.50 forty.
I watched his game vs Mississippi State his only real competition last year. He had 2 sacks so I was interested in watching it. In watching he slow, jogs, and seems to give up on plays. He was pushed around at times and was just a non-factory for most of the game. He had a coverage sack where he ankle tackled the QB after he held the ball for to long and he had a legit sack where he used his power very nicely. He seems to have actually good power at times, but his speed and hustle left me wanting. I just don't see it. Maybe he can put on even more weight and move to 3-4 DE? If not I want nothing to do with him.

If we go Qb at 6 or non-ER at 6, this will be likely our top option at 17. You bank that the tape transcends the measurables like it did for a bunch of other guys like Suggs.

I will bet anything he will not be picked by us in the first. He won't even go round one. Production isn't everything. Don't look at the numbers because he had 10 of his 17.5 sacks in 3 games against Hawaii, North Texas, and Texas-El Paso.
RE: Dont know Suggs 3 cone but his numbers were bad too Â
Would be a great addition to this team. I hope he is there for our round 2 pick, especially if we did not add an elite pass rusher by the time we pick there.
What a player does on the field, it's the cones that make the player, you have to have those cones down pat.
you know how many amazing college players there are that can't make the NFL? Look at Murray who people are worried about because they thought he was 5'8. If he was he wouldn't be drafted in the first round and he was ten times the player this guy is.
Sy - can you recommend tape (games) for him to watch that you think best represent who is as a player?
3 cone surprises me the most.
Very good article below on Jaylon
Jaylon Ferguson Pro Day - ( New Window )
40-yard Dash: 4.82
Vertical: 33 inches
Bench Press: 19 reps
40-yard Dash: 4.82
Vertical: 33 inches
Bench Press: 19 reps
Not take worried about the 40, bench or vertical. More concerned his COD times are equivalent to an OG or a NT.

Good call on Suggs
I think they are going QB at 6, OL/DL at 17
