I wonder who will draft him...

I don't imagine that kind of speed will make it past the 3rd or 4th round, which is higher than I'd want to take a midget like him. I wonder how he'd feel about adding 20 or so pounds....

All sorts of questions about a guy that small; can he take a pounding, and being that short that causes problems for the QB getting him the ball; and so on.

Officially, LSU return specialist Trindon Holliday's forty time was a 4.34 at the Scouting Combine.

Holliday was unofficially clocked at 4.22 early Saturday, but Combine decision makers deemed the time to actually be over a tenth of a second slower. He also only managed 10 reps of 225 on the bench press. No better than a late-round prospect, Holliday profiles similarly to fellow LSU alum Skyler Green.

Can you imagine this kid on a screen pass hiding behind BIGG until he clears the corner?

Whoosh...gone.

Fun to think about.

I wonder who the shortest guy is in the NFL today? And is he a real contributor?

 

[AustnIsMySaviour]

Nice time. I wonder if someone will best Chris Johnson's 4.24 this year. I think there two guys with the potential..and Holliday was one of them.

I'm not saying he's a great player, but he is fast.

kelton Tindal could, so could Brandon Banks, jacoby ford, maybe Mccluster? Actually J Ford guaranteed he'd run a sub 4.2

I don't know, but Warrick Dunn was only 5'7", and he put 10,000+ yards on hsi resume. Maurice Jones Drew is only 5'8" and he can seriously pound.

Not saying this guy is in their league, but his size gives him advantages and disadvantages both.

 

[burmafrd]

Yeah but Dunn was very solid- this guy apparently is only in the 150 lb range.

Height means very little to RBs. The list is very long of excellent RBs that were short. One thing they almost all had was thick powerful legs though.
MJD is 50lbs heavier than Holliday. Barry Sanders was over 200 lbs too. As is Ray Rice. Even Dunn was over 190. Those guys were pretty powerful, just short.
They all have that great running back body type.

Now as a pure WR...Holliday woud be very short.

That's why unofficial times mean so little. The variation can be enormous. The kid can fly anyway.

A few years ago I would have said without any hesitation that his size would have been a huge detriment at the next level.

Desean Jackson proved me wrong. I thought that w/ his slender build that he'd get clobbered.

I think IF he can actually play at an NFL level...big if...there may be a place for him. But D-Jax is 5 inches taller and nearly 25 pounds heavier...they do not compare at all size wise.

But as a WR, he may have a shot to contribute...or maybe a 3rd down back who somehow can learn how to pick up a blitz at his size.

As a return man, his size really does not matter....and I'm sure the kid will fill out 15 lbs at least. ofocourse all of this means nothing if's not actually good enough to play.

 

[burmafrd]

jackson got knocked out of a couple of games last year. Lets see what happens with him. I stil think that he takes too many hits for his size to take for long.

Yes, I know Holliday is very undersized, but so is Jackson. Jackson himself is about 5 inches shorter and 25lbs lighter than the average wideout. These were the reasons why I thought he'd get killed at the nfl level.

Not saying Holliday's in the same class as Jackson (cause I think Holliday's a track guy trying to play football), but I don't think I will say he'd likely not succeed based purely on his measurables.

Yeah hard to say.
Jackson is 5'10, 175. That is MUCH bigger than Holliday and I'd be surprised if it's 5'' shorter than average. But I see your point, and I would not completely rule him out due to size. I just not even sure he can play at an NFL level.
