Redskins Looking at WR Roddy White?

[Tahoe Skin]

I don't know if anyone else caught this, but Vinny was in Alabama March 17th scouting. There were several players working out on this Pro Day, but the main player there apparently was WR Roddy White. White (6-1 3/8, 204) ran his 40s in 4.47 and 4.45. He also ran the short shuttle in 4.01 seconds, the three-cone drill in 7.19 and the long shuttle in 11.56. He had a 41-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot-6 broad jump.

For comparison purposes, White's numbers were actually better than Michigan's All American Braylon Edwards'. Edwards (6-2 7/8, 210) ran his 40s in 4.48 and 4.50. He had a 37½-inch vertical jump, 10-foot-6 long jump, 4.38 short shuttle and 6.87 three-cone drill. It was described as a great workout, as Edwards didn't have one drop.

So, White is quicker, faster, and jumps higher than Edwards even though he's shorter!

White caught 71 passes for 1452 yards (20.5 avg) with 14 TDs in 12 games for Alabama Birmingham.

Mel Kiper ranks White as the 3rd best receiver, the 12th best NFL prospect, and ahead of Troy Williamson.

"A big play threat and a playmaker."

Future Skin???

Coupled with the news that Courtney Brown was offered a contract, I guess that may mean I don't get Erasmus James.
