04/02/2012 - Pro days can lead to pay days in the NFL. One head-turning performance by a college standout can draw that fine line between the beginnings of a pro career and selling insurance for a living. Valley grad Toney Clemons had one of those attention-grabbing pro days earlier this month in Boulder, Colo., and it could have unlocked a door into the NFL. "It came down to 80 yards," said Clemons, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound wide receiver who wasn't invited to the NFL Scouting Combine but played in a senior all-star game in Arkansas. "Two 40 (-yard dashes). I had a quiet confidence and was ready to compete that day." The Colorado grad blistered the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds -- the fastest 40 time in the former track star's career. "Officially, it's the fastest," said Clemons, 23. "You have some great athletes running the 10 split in 1.50 or 1.49. I did it in 1.47. You want to be able to perform when it counts most."

I really hope to see this guy live up to the potential. Loved watching those highlights.

He could really be a steal. He did not have much structure and stability in college, stunting his potential growth. I think he possesses enormous value for a 7th round pick based on his high ceiling. You can't teach speed and height, and it's rare to have both.

Another 7th round " steal " lets hope so!

I've read that he can't hold on to the football... Do we have us a Clifford Franklin??

Basically. But better in the 7th than the 2nd. If we can get this guy holding on to the ball, it's a great pick -- if not, it's a seventh rounder.

The only locks on the roster at WR are Wallace, Brown, Sanders, and Cotchery -- and that's assuming Wallace doesn't hold out or some other such. There's definitely an opportunity for the kid in camp -- so now we wait and see.

Let's hope he is the next "healthy" Marques Colston!

What Toney Clemons and even Marquiz Maze are up against past the top 4 locks.

Connor Dixon -Duquesne 6'4" 200 ran a low 4.49 but official 40 was 4.59 UDFA 2012
Wes Lyons - 6'8" listed as TE on depth chart but probably would still take a receiver spot if making the team.
Tyler Beiler -4.39 40 time! 40.5 verticle jump! from that jugernaut powerhouse college Bridgewater.
David Gilbreath - 169lbs? KR but can't find much more.
Juamorris Stewart - 6'1" 205 age 25 college southern 4.58 40 time.
Derrick Williams -Penn state 4.65 40
Jimmy Young -Texas Christian that's all I know.

Both Clemons and Maze have a real good chance of beating out that crop short of Lyons or Beiler doing something special.
