where are his blitz pickups highlights?

 

Obviously not on Youtube.

 

Different set of films for that, probably QB highlight films

 

Found this also from a contributor to GBN

 

BUCK ALLEN/RB/USC There seems to be a rather large group of RB who are in the running (excuse the pun) for selection on Friday of this year’s Draft. I consider Allen to be one of them and he impressed me with some numbers at Indy. I have never considered him to be a speed burner, but I was impressed that at 221 lbs. he ran a 4.53/40. That put him .001 behind a guy named GORDON. His 1.58/10 split was second best in the entire RB group, again by .001 of a second. His 35.5″ vert placed him in the top 3rd of the RB who jumped. He was also one of only 6 RB who did their 3-cone drill in less than 7 seconds. What all this tells me is that he has a great combination of speed, burst and leg drive, which explains how he gained so many yards after contact as a Trojan. Without getting too muscle bound he could stand to add some upper body strength, as evidenced by only 11 reps in the Bench Press. He is the real deal and he is on my Top 100 Big Board.

I look for quick twitch runners with power and a low center of gravity that can go from a total stop to full speed whether they are starting their run or redirecting from their initial burst.

the cone drills, shuttle and how steady they are in the tire gauntlet without getting twisted are the most favored indicators to me for a RB and I also take a big note in their 20-40 splits. You want a guy whose first 20 is as fast as the last 20 in the run. the longer it takes a guy to get to full speed the lower he ranks.

I like RBs who don't waste energy pumping or flailing their arms on their runs...I want them gliding, constantly using their free arm to get push and leverage off of defenders...every action has an equal an opposite reaction kinda thing.

the best RBs heels hardly ever touch the ground after their initial thrust unless they are juking/directional slide shifting and then back to north south. they are all tippy toes unless they need to change direction and shift.

it's hard to measure field of vision, but I want a running back who is focused on the goal line and uses his peripheral vision, off hand and instincts to get up the field...always leaning a bit forward when he is north and south.
