Jeanty - pro day drop

[Aliencowboy]

How can he skip the 40? My guess is his agent when knowing the projected time advised against it so he doesn’t fall to later round 1.

I think 4.6.

If your 10-yard split is elite that can compensate-think - Emitt Smith. Otherwise, Jeanty is a back that is going to take a lot of hits and be worn down after 3 years with average stats in the NFL.

No way would I pick him at 12.

Folks are going to have to get used to it. Top prospects are going to skip out on the Combine and pro day workouts. It generally can only hurt you.

If you just run a 4.5, you're good. Makes me wonder.

His tape proves he is fast. No point in even running IMO.

Although I can understand there being some concern over him not running, I don't think it takes much film to see that Jeanty is a special back. If he's there at 12, I take him without hesitation. He's one of four players I would take at 12 with no doubts in my mind about the player.

Jeanty isn't falling to 12. I've finally come to terms with it.

Scouts have his GPS time. Dont know why they even bother with 40's anymore. It's obsolete

4.50 flat would’ve been a great combine time for him.

The fact that pro day numbers are super inflated and he didn’t run is slightly concerning.

what is the degree of error with GPS timing? I am not skeptical, I am just curious. It seems to me they can figure a guy's speed just by looking at the ground he covers and the time it takes him to cover it.

But I also understand why they like guys to line up and run a timed 40. Everyone runs under the same conditions and they get a better comparative speed analysis.

21) Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State: 21.7 mph (Week 6)​

He's slow and definitely shouldn't be a top 11 pick

so what is that number; was that the best he was measured during the season or what? Numbers without context are just numbers

 

[cowboyec]

i ain't passing him if he's at 12.
and we still need a rb regardless of who we signed in f/a.

 

[StuckMojo]

More concerned with how he ran with pads on against defenses and that was pretty damn awesome

If everyone is questioning your 40, then you don’t run - at your own pro day, for me it means there are valid concerns and you’re not a top 15 pick. The agent is hoping some team in the top 15 bites anyway.

Turpin was the fastest time last year, I think.

He got up to 22.36

So while these Jeantys numbers there lack context, there's no way to deny he can fly.

Yeah let’s calm down. Isaac Brown RB at Louisville ran 22.1 mph and runs 4.55. In scale that means Jeanty is what 4.59

 

[Bagman]

Just out of curiosity...... what were the 40 times of all his opponents when he ran for 2500 yds and 35 TDs. He's absolutely, 100% fast enough. It's his balance, tackle breaking and agility that you can see is ultra elite. He's a very unique RB

Have people not watched this guy? How are we questioning his speed?
