Terron Armstead, a 306-pound tackle, runs a jaw-dropping 40 Posted by Michael David Smith on February 23, 2013, 9:24 AM EST AP Unless you’re a hard-core draft junkie or a fan of Arkansas Pine-Bluff, you’ve probably never heard of Terron Armstead. But he just did something unprecedented at the Scouting Combine. Armstead ran his 40-yard dash in an unofficial time of 4.65 seconds, which is stunningly fast for a 306-pound offensive tackle. NFL Network’s Mike Mayock said he had never seen an offensive lineman finish a 40 in less than 4.7 seconds, and according to NFL.com, the Combine record for an offensive lineman before Armstead’s stunning run this morning was 4.84 seconds, set by Allen Barbre in 2007. Armstead is a freakish all-around athlete who was also an outstanding shot putter in college, but the question, of course, is whether he can translate that athleticism to playing at the NFL level. And on that score, the early indications are good: Although he didn’t play against high-quality competition at Arkansas Pine-Bluff, he was a good college player who was so impressive at the East-West Shrine Game that he got a late invitation to the Senior Bowl. So there are signs that NFL scouts think Armstead can play. We certainly know he can run.

I have told y'all all year that UAPB had better talent than us......Armstead is no mystery to me because he ran 4.71 for the scouts last spring......The kid had only 1 scholarship offer out of high school.....Armstead dominated the Senior Bowl practices......He should go atleast by the 2nd round......The bottom line is that if a kid is athletic,he can be a freak athlete from any school......Armstead didn't have to go to the SEC to be a superb athlete,God made him that way.

I think that Thurmond the DE at UAPB could get drafted,but it will depend on his performance on pro-day because he didn't get a combine invite which was an injustice. .......No one else from UAPB will be drafted......Number 25(the white kid) should sign as a free agent if he can run in the low 4.7's.

just saw Terron Armstead! Impressive Armstead looks "Ole" Grambling like......It requires a lot of work and scouting to get that type of recruit now at Grambling,but it can be done.......Three HBCU's had OL at the NFL Combine(UAPB,AAMU,and Tenn St.)......It can be done......Once we sign them,the lineman must be committed too pay the price everyday in the weight room from the day they set foot on our campus.....The same thing with our skill players and linebackers.
