MORNING ROUNDUP

Peppers runs 4.46

Jabrill Peppers ran two fast 40-yard dashes at the NFL Combine, the first one at 4.47 seconds and then 4.46, which was his official time.

That placed Peppers well ahead of the next linebacker, Temple’s Haason

Reddick at 4.52 seconds. “A little disappointed but I had to do what I needed to do to get where I need to be,” he said, looking into the NFL Network camera at the end of the drills. “It is what it is.

“That 13 pounds that I put on slowed me down but it is what it is.”

Hawks add Calderon

Video review is among the hottest topics, especially the time it takes. Major League Baseball recently instituted timing guidelines for umpires, and that could soon happen for hockey officials.
