He could have been.

But that's what injuries and a bad attitude can get ya.

Like me, are you finding this RB group this year to be atypically slow(er) than years past?

As a whole? No. Lots of mid 4.5s and faster.

That's what a lot of people thought last year too with Fournette. A lot of people thought CMC was a RB/WR tweener. No one thought Kamara or Hunt were special. Kamara and Hunt were the best two rookie RBs.

And they were both 3rd round picks.

Just like this year, last year had quality RBs into the 3rd round.

Yea the top 5 Rbs in the draft all seem to be pretty good

Pick a power back in 3rd round

I'm starting to think it doesn't have to be simply a power back anymore.

I'll be shocked if Josh Allen isn't a bust. Can't believe Wyoming was his only D1 offer though. Every measurable you want in a QB, but the guy can't hit the broadside of a barn. He's basically a bigger Jake Locker.

20 RBs 4.5 or faster thus far.

12 RBs 4.6 or slower.

I mean, my impression could be wrong, but that just sounded slower than past years to me.  Maybe because there isn't one real blazer in the group.  The only sub-4.4 so far has been the RB from NC State who weighs in under 200 lbs.

I think that's what it is.

They just did a simulcast of Julio Jones and Barkely. Barkley was faster. Jones ran a 4.39.

Ryan Nall with a 4.59 in run two. That's pretty damn good.

Is he a fb or rb? 230 pounds runs 4.59 good hands too

Some of these discussions are just plain weird.

Mayock: Look at that bubble butt.

Eisen: Mmmmm...

I don't think Michel is helping himself today. Okay 40s and he looks like he's laboring on this cone drill.

LOL @ Gettleman nodding off in the stands

Too many big cookies will do that.  He don't give a fug about the Underwear Olympics.  He's there for the interviews.

Keep an eye on any 4.7 WRs and CBs to the Giants.

I get it that Gettleman values game tape over workouts as he should, but virtually completely ignoring timed speed is a big part of how we ended up with such a lack of speed in our WR corps and secondary.
