Report: Maryland WR Torrey Smith has workout with Patriots 03.15.11 at 6:51 pm ET

Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith has already conducted a private workout with the Patriots, according to the National Football Post.

A world-class speedster, the 6-foot-1, 204-pounder out of Maryland caught 67 passes for 1,075 yards and 12 touchdowns last season with the Terps. Smith also has special teams skills — as a sophomore, he broke his own record with 1,309 kickoff return yards (and 2,129 all-purpose yards), which included two kicks returned for touchdowns.

Like fellow Maryland wide receiver Darius Heyward-Bey — who had off-the-charts speed the previous year at the combine — Smith’s measureables at the combine drew raves. He ran the 40-yard dash between 4.37 and 4.41 seconds, and also finished wih a 41-inch vertical leap, a 10-foot-6 broad jump and 19 reps on the bench at 225 pounds.

Through the pre-draft process, Smith has reportedly been training with former Patriots wide receiver Donte Stallworth.

“With Donte, he’s working hard,” said Smith, who is projected by many to be a first-round pick. “When we were running our routes, he was telling us what to look for, whether we were getting out of our breaks fast enough, just real fundamental things.”

Oh, and he’s pretty good on the basketball court as well. Check out the video below:

    Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Bless you!

    Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    I hope Tuukka turns out to be the real deal because I watched Subban play against Team USA Juniors in the World Juniors Championship (way to go Team USA!) and granted any goalie can have a bad day but he was awful, I say again, awful. As disturbing as he play was, the way he reacted the goals he surrendered was more troubling. He played very timid, staying back in the net, not willing to challenge shooters. I hope he develops but lets hope the B’s have a solid backup for Tuukka for a couple of years.

    He played timid because his defense let him out to dry.  Goalies develop at different rates and every goalie on earth has had bad games.  Subban is a quality goalie prospect, you’re reading way too much into a SSS.

  • Boslad

    I hope you’re right.
