NFL Scouting Combine: Feb 27–Mar 2 (58 Viewers)

[St. Widge]

You're right, he's Ashton Jeanty. Before Barry Sanders, Saquon, Faulk, LT, there wasn't a Barry Sanders, Saquon, Faulk or LT. Thanks for stating the obvious there.

You know that I meant he's not that level of player. I don't understand why you guys feel the need to misrepresent what someone said and get so emotional when someone dares to question whether Jeanty is the perfect RB.

 

[St. Geezy]

There's absolutely a reason he's not running the 40. He's probably a 4.6 guy (Mark Ingram speed). Which IMO does not matter and RB speed is pretty overrated but he's definitely not what I would consider "fast" for a RB.

The list of pro bowl level RBs under 5'9 with a 4.55-4.6 40 is not that long. I'd imagine it's maybe a few. Which again is fine because he's such an anomaly.

You just completely made that 4.6 number up and ran with it. Lol

The guy has wheels. Are you kidding me?

 

[Snakehead]

Keep in mind Mark Ingram went from 4.66 at the combine to a 4.53 at his pro day.

Pro day numbers are never accurate and there's a reason why athletes choose to run them there.

Mark Ingram looked every bit of 4.66 or let's just split the different 4.6.

 

[TruSaint]

Treyvon Henderson ran a 4.43.

Kaleb Johnson ran a 4.57.

Who do you think is closer to Jeanty?

Good question, well pads on and off are different but like I said from what I’ve seen of Jeanty I just see a 4.4 guy personally

For fun I just asked Grok to estimate Jeanty’s 40 time based on metrics and top speed and it projects 4.42

Kind of funny that would be my exact 40 time prediction for Jeanty after extensively watching him the past couple years.

It's not emotion. You picked this stance to run with and have made excuse after excuse to stick to it no matter what facts have been presented. It's quite comical.

It’s going to be amazing if we draft him and when he inevitably hits a homerun.

What stance do you think I'm taking?

Indeed.

 

[Snakehead]

What stance do you think I'm taking?

The Anti-Jeanty stance you've had the entire time. It's cool though, you're not the only one.

 

[TruSaint]

If Bijan ran a 4.46 than Jeanty has at least 4.46 speed

 

[St. Widge]

What is an "anti-Jeanty stance"? What does that mean? I already said if he's the BPA take him at #9. And he may well be BPA, but that doesn't mean he's going to be an elite NFL RB. I don't see how that's comical. So, please explain.

I think he likely runs a 4.55 to 4.6, but I could be wrong. If he runs 4.4 to 4.5, then I'm obviously wrong that he does have great speed, and maybe elite if it's closer to 4.4, to go with his vision, power, and contact balance.

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

gonna have to respectfully disagree, when I watch Jeanty I see 4.4 speed, maybe high like 4.48-4.49 but still 4.4

4.48-4.49 at your pro day = 4.53-4.56 at the combine.

You are choosing not to listen to what he's saying.

It is what it is.

I respect your opinion. The only thing I’m really finding fault with is claiming he is closer to Ingram in speed than to a lot of the other elite backs mentioned. @St. Geezy above showed that Jeanty clocked 21 mph 4 times. More than any other player in college football. I know we don’t have a 40 time but the point i think is that we don’t need one. Guy has enough speed to be a homerun threat.
