When you see him running some drills in front of a crowd it was because he was chosen to be one of 5 players to demo the new Adidas shoes to everyone else. The person in the black warmups who throws him the short pass is CJ Spiller of the Buffalo Bills.
Cougar fans will also get a kick out how he refers to Ryker Matthews in some video at the beginning of the Army All American Bowl.

Stats:
HT: 6' 2 3/4" WT: 189lbs Vertical Reach: 8' 2" Wingspan: 6' 10" (kid has loooong arms)
40: 4.75 Short Shuttle: 4.42 Vertical Jump: 35"
His 40 time is about what he expected for laser timing. Despite not having blazing 40 speed he still had no problem getting behind the DB's in the 1 on 1's. I think his issue in the 40 is the start and getting going, once he reaches full speed I think he is as fast as anyone.
Another point about Josh is that he is very under trained compared to most of the other athletes at the combine. For instance Davonte Neal, the overall Offensive MVP, his father is a personal trainer and he has literally been training for this most of his life.
I believe when the BYU coaches see Josh they are thinking "Here's a kid with not much training or coaching and look how good he is, just think what he'll do when we get him in the program for a year or two!"
