Ingram ran 4.62 at the combine and 4.53 at his pro day. Jeanty running about a half mph faster than that is a significant difference. For reference, Bijan Robinson has never gone faster than 21.6 MPH in his college or pro career. Robinson ran 4.46 at the combine and has a slower top speed than Jeanty.

Agreed Jeanty is a great RB.

Very doubtful that Jeanty isn’t a “home run” hitter in the NFL. His quickness, contact balance, burst, vision, and top end speed combo is likely to get him into the second level often and allow him chances to gash teams for big gains/touchdowns.

He’s obviously not Barry Sanders. Literally no RB in NFL history is. By that logic never draft a player high unless they are as good as Tom Brady, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, etc at their respective position lol. As a prospect he’s right up there with Saquon Barkley. Time will tell if he will be as good as Barkley or not.

He’s 211lbs…

The NFL shows Igram running a 4.66 at the Combine. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/mark-ingram/3200494e-4765-6964-19af-4fbe814368d2

And we will have to agree to disagree on him having home run hitter deep speed. He's probably around a 4.6 guy which is good enough to break some long runs, but he's not going to be a guy that you think is going to break it every time he gets past the LBs. Very few guys are. You compared his MPH in a game to Ingram and the numbers were very close. And since Ingram ran 4.66 I expect that Jeanty's speed in better, but close to that.

Yeah, I misread his weight and edited it. At any rate, 5'8" and 211 Lbs. would still make him an outlier as a between the tackles runner and every down RB.

And I didn't say don't draft Jeanty high. I'm not sure why people feel the need to set up straw men to argue against. I just said he's not Barry Sanders, Saquon, Marshall Faulk, or L.T. If he's the highest ranked prospect at #9 then draft him. I think he'll be a very good back in the NFL, I just don't expect him to be Saquon Barkley, etc.
