A little late, but here are his combine results, along with how they ranked among the QBs:
40 yard dash: 4.68 (3rd)
Verticle jump: 35.5" (2nd)
Broad jump: 123" (3rd)
Three-cone drill: 7.06 (1st)
These stats show Herbert's athleticism, and, along with his throwing a nice deep ball, may suggest that he was under-utilized. Of course we know they chose not to run him so as not to increase the risk of injury, and that is a fair pre-caution. But it would have been nice at least to see him pass more deep balls. Hopefully the new OC will be more willing to pass down field, assuming our future QB has the accuracy.

Re: Herbert's Combine Results
With Herbert, the biggest thing he needs to improve is timing/anticipation.
Hope he gets a great coach.

I hope Herbert gets a good OC and/or coach in the NFL. After coming back for his Sr year and subjecting himself to another year of Arroyo he deserves to finally have a good play caller for the first time since his Fr year.

Re: Herbert's Combine Results
The narrative that's being pushed of Jordan Love moving past Herbert could turn out to be a blessing for him. Especially with part of Love's rise being his "comparison" to Mahomes.OregonFan4Life wrote:I hope Herbert gets a good OC and/or coach in the NFL.

Mario didn't want him to get injured. I don't agree with it but it is what it is.UOducksTK1 wrote:Underutilized! The last year and a half we never showed off his athleiticism.
