PrintVia Kayne, here are the numbers the tight ends put up yesterday at the NFL Combine:
Fastest 40 times:
Dustin Keller 4.55
Jacob Tamme 4.58
Craig Stevens 4.59
Kellen Davis 4.60
Brad Cottam 4.63
Most Bench Reps:
Craig Stevens 27
Dustin Keller 26
*Fred Davis 24
Brad Cottam 24
Derek Fine 24
Vertical:
Dustin Keller 38.0
Tom Santi 36.0
Martellus Bennett 34.0
Brad Cottam 33.0
Gary Barnidge 31.0
*Fred Davis did not participate in the running or jumping because of an injury.
Today is a big day of workouts for the Titans because it features quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. The Titans will be keeping a really close eye on the wide receiver 40 times. They need a burner to stretch the field. I will be very interested to see what Earl Bennett does in the 40. He is probably not the right fit for the Titans, but I think he will be a very good NFL receiver. His 40 time will make the difference between and early 2nd round pick or a 3rd round pick.
The Titans will also be keeping an eye on the running back times as they search for someone to compliment LenDale White. I don't see the Titans taking a running back on the 1st day, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them come out of this draft with a back.
As always, leave any interesting or notworthy things in the comments.

QB's numbers
Johnson, Josh 4.55
O'Connell, Kevin 4.61
Morris, Bernard 4.68
Tafralis, Adam 4.78
Flynn, Matt 4.79
Best vertical:
Johnson, Josh 33.5
Tafralis, Adam 32.0
O'Connell, Kevin 31.0
Brohm, Brian 30.0
Flacco, Joe 28.5
If Henry ran a 4.40, and is realllllllly fast.
Devin Hester ran a 4.45 (mind you with the wrong running shoes.)
But even his fastest unofficial time was only 4.29
Fastest ever laser timed (official, most accurate way to do it) was 4.29 by Deion Sanders.
Laser is effective because player can start whenever they want and don't have to wait on reaction time after hearing "go" or a gun shot, plus timer stops when player passes through laser.
Where is he projected in the draft?
I wouldn't say

Manningham looked to me..
Chad Johnson did run somewhere in the 4.5 range when he went to the combine too, and I think he's a little faster than that.
