WR Ted Lampkin

It's nice to have that speed when there is no pads on, but it's pretty useless unless you apply it on the field in a game. Kid is fast, but he doesn't have elite HS speed either once he puts those pads on.

how bad is the slow down?

You couldn't label a certain slow down from player to player. Everyone plays different, speed wise, once they throw those pads on. Some guys will play as fast in a t-shirt as they will pads. Some will slow down. But there is no constant for either.

You can look at a guy like Braylon Heard. He was hand timed at 4.38 by the coaches at Cardinal Mooney. And when you watch his video, you see a guy who plays at an elite level speed wise and consistently pulls away from players when he sees a shred of daylight. But you have Lampkin, at the same speed, and against lesser athletes in Nebraska, doesn't consistently show that burst that makes you say "WOW!".

I'm actually more intrigued in-state by Davie and Sterup. If Sterup is a legit 6'9, he scares me that he might grow out of football. But Davie, IIRC, was the kid who was an unknown but shined at our summer camp last year.

 
Nebraska and Stanford recently visited Lampkin earlier this week. Sounds like Stanford will offer Lampkin a scholarship when he attends Stanfords camp this June.

Lampkin has visited Iowa's junior days, Iowa States spring game, and K-States spring game.
