akiliMVP Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 This info is from another board, so it may not be entirely accurate. The author was there and personally witnessed the workout. The Bengals have already scheduled a visit for Beason, so I would imagine we would have people here. [quote]Just got back from Jon Beason's pro day. He worked out at a local high school so I went and checked it out. The workout was outdoors on a field turf surface, ridiculously hot though. His numbers were (unofficially) 4.63 40 (ran 3 times), either a 31.5 vert or 33.5 (pretty sure it was 31.5) a 10'0" broad jump, a 4.34 short shuttle, a 6.89 3 cone, not sure of the 60 yard time but it was really fast, I think it was 10.41 or somewhere around there. For teams that were there the stealers has 2 guys there and one worked Beason out in the LB drills, the Giants and Bears were also there, and the Dolphins have some guys there too. He did really good in the LB drills, caught every pass (one I thought he had no chance, it was coming towards me and I actually moved but he plucked it out of the air and kept going). Pretty good workout from him, the 40 he seemed pretty frustrated at. He has an amazing physique. Greg Olsen was also there helping time, he was pretty goofy, kept making jokes.[/quote] [url="http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5755"]http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5755[/url] Sounds like the stillers are pretty interested. He's one of the few players that I would love in round 1. Can you imagine how fucking great a linebacking core of Brooks, Thurman and Beason would be?

One paper says they have Beason ahead of Timmons but would IDEALLY like to trade down a few spots to get him. Another paper - 'pissburgh Tribune' I think - says that Timmons is the guy they want, because of his experience in the 4-3 and 3-4. Timmons has been reported as saying he likes the 3-4 better, so pissburgh would seem like a perfect fit for him. Personally I hope the stealers take Timmons, so the Bengals can get Beason.

texbengal Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 From the Miami Herald, re: Beason's workout: UM's Beason has workout BY BOB EMANUEL JR. bemanuel@MiamiHerald.com BILL HABER / AP Miami linebacker Jon Beason is projected to be a first-round pick in this month's NFL Draft. Former University of Miami linebacker Jon Beason, who is expected to be a first-round selection in the NFL Draft later this month, went through a workout for seven teams, including the Miami Dolphins, on Thursday morning at Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna High. Beason ran the 40-yard dash in the low 4.6-second range, with scouts placing his best time around 4.62 and 4.63 seconds. He also hit 10 feet in the standing long jump, and his vertical jump was measured at 32.5 inches. ''Overall, I would probably give myself a seven out of 10,'' Beason said. ``I was a little disappointed. I didn't put everything together like I wanted to. All in all, they're still happy with me.'' Beason, 6-0 and 233 pounds, leaves today for personal visits with several NFL teams and will not return home until April 20. ''It was fun just getting it all out of the way, putting this part of the process behind me,'' Beason said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
