Any list of the players who most improved their draft stock at this year's NFL scouting combine would have to include Georgia Tech receiver Calvin Johnson, Kansas State receiver Yamon Figurs (pictured) and LSU safety LaRon Landry. All three worked with personal trainer Tom Shaw, whose reputation has soared after the combine. Johnson solidified his status as a Top 5 pick, Figurs went from a little-known special teams prospect to a definite draft choice, and Landry likely moved into the Top 10 from the late first round. All credit Shaw, who says he makes the players he works with faster by focusing on two aspects of running: lengthening the stride and increasing stride frequency by pumping the elbows faster.
How valuable does that make Shaw? For an NFL prospect, the difference between running the 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds and 4.30 seconds can be hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. If Shaw's training tips really are the reason Johnson, Figurs and Landry ran such great 40 times, every prospect invited to next year's scouting combine should be throwing money at Shaw to learn his secrets.
