Hodges not a Heisman candidate nor had all the hype.

"Gerald Hodges, Penn State: Hodges started slowly with a 4.78 in the 40. He looked significantly quicker in the exercises. Hodges was outstanding during coverage drills, possibly the best of the group. He got terrific depth on drops and never dropped a pass. His change of direction was smooth, and Hodges was fast moving to all areas of the field. He's another three-down, weak-side linebacker with starting potential." Nice!

Almost as slow, but not as. Wasn't a first rounder. Didn't cut weight from his college playing weight in order to get faster.

Fwiw, I don't feel bad AT ALL for Teo.

The thing the experts say will hurt his draft stock the most at this point is his loyalty to his girlfriend. He already provided a list of cities he will not sign with because his girlfriend was not willing to move to them, stating that "after dying, she wants to be closer to family because you just never know when you'll disappear."

Navarro Bowman only ran a 4.70 at the combine...
