Size comparison - Jayden Blue vs. historic RBs

[BlindFaith]

Laser timed at combine and hand timed at pro day?

Correct.

And the hand times at pro day are a consensus. Meaning all the scouts have their own times and then they compare to come up with a consensus time.

Precisely why players choose to not run at the combine. Because they can cherry pick a time from their pro day. Which will inherently be faster than the combine already.

Possibly. He did have a small groin tear at the combine, at least according to him.

Jaydon Blue does a decent job pass protecting.

Start watching at the 6:23 minute mark...



At the 9:50 minute mark...



At the 3:07 minute mark only...

One of the first things I heard about Jayden Blue is that he is too small to be a RB1. Blue is 5’9” tall (same height as Emmitt Smith), and 196 lbs. (4 lbs heavier than Tony Dorsett. So, if Blue cannot handle being RB1, it really isn’t his size that is the issue.

Blue didn’t have the college production of either Smith or Dorsett, and there isn’t much evidence from his college tape that he has the vision of either of those HOF players. Who knows if Blue knows how to pick up a blitzing LB, or help the tackle by chip blocking a DE on the way to the flat?

There are plenty of reasons you might choose to justify a belief that Blue is not a RB1, or a future HOF player. But size isn’t one of them. Barry Sanders was 5’8”, while other HOF backs were larger.

I’m interested in how Blue will perform. I have zero concern about his size.

My plumber looks to be about 5'9" and 195lbs.too.

What does THAT fact mean for Blue's future?

HE'S LITERALLY THE SAME SIZE AS THE GUY FIXING MY TOILET !!!!!!

He’s a troll is what he is.

the only real troll in this thread is the one you see in the mirror

Right they go from 4.28 to 4.39….

lol that’s very typical

He is nowhere near the same size or build as Emmitt Smith (220lbs) and Tony Dorsett played in the 70's when defensive football players were a lot smaller and slower.

I hope the kid proves everyone wrong but comparing him to two legends is doing him no favors.

220? maybe his final season
