Forty times for RBs

[jimmy40]

people tend to think the 40 time will determine if a player can play.

Look at the fastest guys running a 40, with exception to a rare few, most of them wont amount to much in the nfl.

actually most people think their overated but the times are interesting to talk about.

yeah I like Michael too and Swope ran a 4.34. damn Mike Sherman sucked as head coach at a&m.

Have to give him credit for recruiting.
Johnny Football, that oline, swoops, etc, etc. Those are all his players

What's up with Ellington running so slow?

I like Le'veon Bell. Always have. 4th round would be a steal.

I like Kerwynn Williams a lot in the 5th or 6th.

-Good speed. Top 5 in 40 and 20 yard shuttle
-Good hands. 45 catches this year and was used in the slot in 5 wide sets
- Good kick returner. Averaged 25+ yards per kick returner when he was a reserve as a fresh and junior

Good versatile player who may never be a starter, but can be a nice useful all purpose player for a while.

I was disappointed by a lot of guys times.

I never imagined Stepfan Taylor would run so slow. He was in the 4.8 range.

Ellington was supposed to be a 4.3-4.4 type and ran a 4.59.

Interesting that early people were saying it was a fast track and now the times appeared slow. Fast guys run fast, slow guys run slow, you are what you are.

There are alot of RBs in this draft that are making scouts run back to the tape tonight. We should be paying special attention to RBs, cause of of them will probably be a Cowboy.

Just shows how overrated 40 times are. Alfred Morris ran a 4.67 last year, his speed seemed to translate just fine....short yardage quickness and agility are both way more important than 40 times.

True

Morris is pretty stout at 217. I think a whole lot of his success also came due to scheme and The threat of Griffin. Great season, it's just the are some saying any of their top three backs could have had his numbers if healthy. Guess well find out

A guy that intrigues me that no one is talking about is Zac Stacy from Vandy. 27 reps on the bench & a 4.5 forty, plus rushed for over 1100 yards in the SEC last season. He might be a guy to take a late round flyer on.
