oof.
Terrible 40 but still a very solid tight end. If he goes undrafted someone is going to get a hell of a free agent. In my opinion I have seen enough to know this guy can play at the next level.
But that 40 is brutal.

That's shockingly slow for an elite TE.
Could be a good value pickup later in the draft. Probably has no shot as a 1st or 2nd rounder now
I think his work ethic and consistency is highly in question. Shame so much self inflicted damage.
Is it too late for wydermyer to return? Could easily win back that TE1 spot and have a dominate senior year with an actual QB
JJ Watt deserved the 2014 MVP
Not super fast by any stretch....but honestly, how many TE's are open field speed demons anyway? They are posession type guys that can catch and block and, generally speaking, aren't known for YAC to begin with. Separation, catching ability, blocking ability and things like size, vertical, etc. seem to be more important metrics for a TE than straight line 40 speed that is almost never actually implemented in a game.
Dude is costing himself millions. Almost seems like he thought he could just show up and do well without puting in the work.
He not only looked slower his last year, but he also had some drops.
I wish him the best, but he really should have stayed another year.
I doubt he'll even get drafted or make a team.
( painful to say)

Unfortunately he also had a ton of drops last year and is an average blocker at best.
Well the draft hasn't happened yet, so let's wait and see. Perhaps he had some lingering injury that prevented him from training as hard as he could have, and he will get some speed back over time. But the market is probably pretty thin for slow tight ends that drop balls on occasion.
It's becoming sort of commonplace now. Athletes that declare for the draft only to realize later on that they've already played their last meaningful game.

Somebody will "take a flyer" on him in the 6th or 7th. Should have been a 2nd or 3rd but questions about work ethic and dropsies hurt him.
Jeez guy should have just faked an injury and sat out. Why on earth did he run
Wasnt just his 40 that was bad, it was everything. He's a serious threat to go from what was potentially a day 1 pick to now going undrafted
Too many drops.......bye
Exactly. But besides being slow with lousy hands and a poor blocker , he's an amazing TE prospect.dannyv said:schmellba99 said:

"not super fast ...." is hilarious.
12 Offensive linemen ran sub-5 40's
7 Defensive Tackles did
Not sure what the hell Jalen last off-season, but he cost himself alot of money ...
such a bummer.
actually it's like that every year.northeastag said:

Jamaar' Toombs is one Ag who should have stayed. RC told him not to leave but he did. Had a terrible combine (IIRC).
He's really slow.

A bummer? Why? Who cares what money he will or won't make?
Because Aggies being successful in the NFL is very good for Aggie football, and I like seeing guys I cheered for in college kick ass in the NFL.Jay Reimenschneider said:

So yeah, a total bummer that his NFL career may be over before it even starts.
Also, starting Aggie TE's in a row that have absolutely flamed out after leaving early.
The Zoo:
In looking at the 40 times this morning, none of our guys ran what I would call fast....obviously game speed is what's important but it does make you wonder a bit.

Kyle Pitts' 40-yard dash clocked in at 4.44u.

That speed at 6'6" and 246 lbs though 👀 @SECNetwork pic.twitter.com/qjysreMifF
what we bet Gronk's 40 is? On two balky knees probably 5.2+?
Jalen Wydermyer has a ton of work to do to make his way back on draft boards. This is ugly. pic.twitter.com/WS2GgDRugu

I will never understand how someone can tell so many lies and not feel bad about it...
When is A&Ms pro day? Can he show up for that and hopefully improve?
Edit: oh crap that was his pro day….I was thinking it was the combine.
Whelp…..there goes that

From what it looks like after his junior year he stopped working as hard and regressed. He went from all American to likely undrafted.
He dropped a lot of balls this year, blocking was lacking, and running a 5.0 forty ruins his old scouting report. The scouting report said he had the speed that was difficult for a LB to cover now any in the league can with ease. To put it in perspective Witten and Gronk are 4.6 guys, Sternberger was 4.7.

To be honest it seems that all of the A&M players didn't test well physically at both combine and pro-day. Not sure if this is something that A&M is really at fault for though, but if A&M has any input on their preparation for such drills/tests then A&M really needs to step it up in a big way. I would typically think that each player usually trains at facilities away from school.
Everyone knew Spiller wouldn't run fast, and linemen are linemen, speed is very exceptional there.HowdyGetRowdy409 said:

Wydermeyer is a bit of a shocker; 4.6 would be average, 5.0 is slower than most linemen run.
The speed guys aren't entering the draft until next year, and that's when the measurables should pop. This isn't the right draft class for lighting up electronic scores.
LOL, only someone wearing seriously maroon colored glasses ever thought he was a day one pick.rsf0626 said:

I like the guy, and he was a pretty good player for us, but there's nothing about him that separates him from a bunch of other college TEs. Like others said, too many drops and subpar blocker. Hopefully he still makes some $$$.
Let's go, Brandon!
if this most recent season was similar to his previous year, he would have been day 1. I don't think anyone thought he was day 1 prior to his pro day....then again, this is texags...NoahAg said:LOL, only someone wearing seriously maroon colored glasses ever thought he was a day one pick.rsf0626 said:

Yep, that will hurt him more IMO. Or should anyway.dannyv said:schmellba99 said:

Pitts is also more of a receiver, and a way better one at that than Wydermeyer.ABATTBQ87 said:schmellba99 said:

The 40 is one of the most overrated metrics in football, rarely does it actually play into game situations. It's a holdover from way back when and still around because, frankly, it has always been around.
