Blog: Nance amazed by speed at combine

Calhoun (Ga.) High School’s Nash Nance is participating in the U.S. Army All-American football combine in San Antonio through today. The junior quarterback prospect is filing a daily diary for www.timesfreepress.com.

Friday:

Today was unbelievable!

I had a personal best in the vertical jump, and my 40 time was adequate. The most amazing thing about the athletes here is the overall speed. The defensive backs and receivers are all burners. Even the linebackers are quick as cats. The one-on-one competition was fun. My receivers and I knew the play, so we had an advantage, but it was still tough because the defenders were very aggressive. Every single pass both the receiver and defender were battling for the ball.

I wish all kids could see the hustle, desire and work ethic at this camp! Every pass I threw, my receiver gave 110 percent to catch the ball. Overall I feel my game is as good as any 2010 QB, but I want to be the best. So that means a lot of hard work. More lifting, throwing, footwork drills, speedwork and film study. This was a great experience and it has inspired me to be even better!
