6:23 p.m.: One quick note from Nebraska winter conditioning about somebody being, well, quick.
Niles Paul said Friday that he was clocked at 1.40 seconds in the 10-yard dash during some testing with Husker strength and conditioning coach James Dobson. That would shatter the school record for all players and eclipse the 1.42 that his uncle, Ahman Green, ran in the 1990s.
For reasons of legitimacy, Paul said, Dobson had him run it twice and the result was the same.
Dobson is big on explosion and ground-based power. The 10-yard times, in his mind, are more important than the 40s.
"It definitely says something about somebody's explosiveness,'' Paul said. "I'm a receiver and I want to be an explosive guy.''
All in all it sounded like a good winter for Paul as the eight-week program concluded Friday. We'll have more on the senior-to-be from Omaha North in Sunday's paper.
Paul and the Huskers get next week off for spring break before heading towards the start of spring practice on March 24.
