“Fast Eddie” Royal Has Great Day At NFL Combine
Posted by RaleighWatson on February 25, 2008
I went to Virginia Tech and watched Eddie Royal return several kicks/punts for touchdowns. I have personally witnessed his speed and agility. Eddie Royal, who is known by Hokie fans as “Fast Eddie,” had a great day at the NFL combine yesterday. Royal ran the fifth fasted 40-yard dash out of the receivers with a 4.39, and had the most reps on the bench press of all the receivers (24). What is so impressive about that is that he is a small receiver at 5′10″ and 182 lbs. Royal also finished in the top ten in the vertical jump, broad jump, and the 60-yard shuttle. Royal is currently projected to go in the third round. For more information on the combine, go to www.NFL.com.
