He's a really big, powerful, fast, uphill runner. He's great at what he does.

But I'd like to see a little more lateral agility out of him in 2007. It'll be fun to watch, cause we might just have a realistic chance at getting him.

What do you suppose that 40 time will be?


I don't know, but nowhere in that video did I see anyone chase him down. Even when I thought someone had an angle on him, he blew past them.

Wow, it took to the 2:00 minute mark of that video before someone finally tackled him.

He has some serious breakaway speed.

Being that i attened the University of Arkansas, i'll give you my report on him. He's faster'n than anything..but he has two moves...straight up the middle in a huge hole, and then swing wide to a huge hole..and haul turf. he really needs to work on shiftyness, otherwise i really dont believe he's an every down back in the NFL.
i'm also apart of the athletic program there, and i have seen him and Chris Houston work out...its ridiculous. Mainly Chris Houston, i believe he's the strongest guy pound for pound ever to attend the UofA.

Do you have lateral agility? :lmao:

This guy's a mix between O.J. and Eric Dickerson!

Hey as the late great Johnnie Cochran said... " If the glove don't fit you must acquit"... O.J. wasn't found guilty of anything in criminal court.

Lets not go down that path of discussion.

What is sleep again? LOL

Well, what stands out about Darren is just speed and vision, he blows up the angles that DBs take on him once he gets to the second level. Say what you want about others competition, but the SEC is tough and the boy rarely gets touched really and never seems to get hit head on. In contrast, you see Adrian Peterson bouncing off of people and having huge amounts of balance and power, but taking a beating.

Darren is totally different. If you are moving at a LB faster than he ever sees, you need less lateral movement, ala Eric Dickerson. Darren has a top gear that few have, sure his 40 will probably be around 4.4, but that doesn't tell the story. He does have a top gear that doesn't show up in the 40 as easy, its football speed, something that is apparent in the games he plays.

Will he be he next great one?? Who knows at this point, his team will be weaker this year with a harder schedule, so it will truly be a test as to whether he is a great one or just another back.
