Murray isn't 4.38 on the football field

Time will tell how football fast Zeke is in the nfl

Excellent point. Emmitt wasn't very fast at all....but he was SO explosive from the time he got the ball until about 20 yards downfield or so, it was amazing....just quick as hell. This article I'll paste below says he was high 4.5's to low 4.6's....but as Jeremiah points out, it's incredibly overrated for RB's. He was as fast as he needed to be. Same with Walter Payton. Not a fast guy....didn't need to be. I watched most of Zeke's games at OSU and he's more than fast enough. Not a ton of wiggle though. I think we drafted a younger, more complete version of DeMarco Murray and if he can play 6-8 years or so, and be very productive then we should all be quite happy.
