I agree atleast on paper... we haven't just seen him run away from people like you have with elite speed like Samuel..Anderson because of his length looks more like a strider to me. He's fast don't get Me wrong it's good. 

But he isn't that Ted Ginn..Samuel.. tyreek hill division of top 5% NFL speed.

Guys like Samuel have that quick change of direction speed.  Robby more that straight line speed.  DJ IMO is the perfect mix. 

I don’t care Marshall got caught from behind.  He isn’t suppose to be that type dude. 

was a more surprised with Chubba

I think that's a different aspect... thats like acceleration plus speed. What I'm talking about is is my top gear is faster than 90% of the NFLs top gear. For me that line is around 4.3 lower end speed. I mean 4.4 is considered fast by nfl measures..  when you get below that then we are talking gaming breaking speed. Anderson 4.36 is very good.. 

But he seems like he builds up to that speed. Like a strider.... he isn't twitchy or I catch it and I'm gone..  he has to build up to it.

Gotcha.  Yeah, 4.4 isn’t runaway from the field speed anymore.   Especially the way guys train to get their 40 time.  
 

Football speed vs timed 40 speed.  You can also have two guys with 4.4 speed and it also just looks different in a game.

To add to that for comparison sake. Terrance Marshall JR was said to have run a 4.4... and a 4.38..... you see how that looked today...

Hey if B.Zylstra caught half his passes that percent is near %75 completion rate...

Them two just couldn't connect for some reason...

And if some of the other receivers hadn't made nice plays to catch balls thrown behind them that percent would have been worse. 

We can play the hypothetical game all day long it won't turn PJ Walker into an NFL backup.

But yet today he played just as good as any starter in the NFL would have, except maybe one who didn't play at all...

You, my friend, watched a very different game than I did.

He had a standing start and Carrie was going flat out. Still took 30 yards to track him down.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
