Does anyone know how fast Zeke is at the moment?

[Bobhaze]

And he doesnt have to be.

Certainly not to play RB in Big D.

I guess it depends on your expectations. I can think of several good reasons to sign zeke cheap. Terminal velocity not one of them.

Yeah he is exactly that - a cheap, ok option. Not horrible but it’s probably going to be “you get what you pay for.” Can he get some important 3 yard runs? Yes. But our RB committee does not appear to have any breakaway potential.

IMO Zeke would make better sense as a complimentary piece to a guy with some speed. Like he and Pollard were at one time. It’s just really hard for me to buy into a Zeke-Rico-Deuce-Malik backfield.

Okay...agreed. A better question than zekes top end speed would be...wth is jerry thinking? Reminds me of the year we had to go get amari.

Our front office leaders are slow learners.

Jerry has leftover Zeke jerseys to sell.

Don’t know much about him either which I would think is a comment in and of itself.
Here are his career stats:

• Six seasons for 4 different teams (Broncos, Panthers Texans, and rams)
• 471 carries
• 1792 yards
• 3.8 yards per carry
• 10 TDs over 6 seasons

Meh.
But he’s a perfect Stephen Jones FA. It certainly fits his #1 priority in seeking FAs: Affordability.

Fresh legs.

 

[Bobhaze]

Fresh legs.

His “fresh legs“ are 28.

 

[Loso86]

In the 10 yard sprint and the 40 yard sprint? What is his maximum running speed on longer runs?

Faster then majority of the fans that say he's fat and slow

hmmm.. I think "meh" is probably an apt description.

80 carries a year compared to Zeke 300? Very fresh.

 

[Coogiguy03]

There are grandmother's that are faster

 

[Captain43Crash]

I would say he can run much faster than 95%, if not 100% on this board that are around his age, or younger.

When was the last time anyone timed themselves on the 40?

That is so dumb!
Zek is a professional RB, not the fans on this site.
I think Zek is possibly the slowest RB in the NFL.

No one cares what you think.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Zeke was New Englands short yardage back last year and he had 2 rushing TDs.

 

[Siroky]

Fast enough to run up the middle for tough yards, Fast enough to get 1st downs and goal line yards. If the offense line run blocks
