Would you be asking that if he were black?
May 5, 2020, 10:26 PM
|
|
I wouldn’t.
I admit it, I tend to assume white = slower.

A new WR? We are WRU, he can probably come here and get some reps. Deon Cain-esque long-ball specialist.

If Usain Bolt was compared by wind, he would be a category 5 Hurricane, nothing is gentle in those storms, as there is nothing gentle about the speed of Usain Bolt bc that Dude can pick'em up and put-um down in a hurry!!!

People ask if someone is playing against good competition

No matter what color they are. It’s a good gauge of speed if a guy is walking away from 6A competition, etc.

I know, but it gets asked less when it’s a black person.
May 6, 2020, 9:45 AM

Much like anytime a white player is good, he typically only gets compared to another white guy.
I don’t have a problem with it, but I do think it’s interesting.

It's really like anything else being compared, you wouldn't compare a green Apple to a green Pear!!! But, when you compare a white guy to another white guy, there are the ignorant that try to bring racism into the comparison, but when you compare a black guy to another black guy, there isn't anything racist about that comparison. Go figure!!!

He's white so by default, ?'s, accusations, & ridicule may be directed his way w/o fear of reprecussion. Lasered 4.46 as a 10th grader is rare. Guessing that is why some believe he's peaked early-generally hs jr knocks 2/10s off their 40 time b4 leaving a 4yr university- 2/10+

LOL - this is indeed funny, as I was thinking the same thing watching him separate from their fastest Black athletes. And not just against one team, but ALL of them. He will need to drop by CLEMSON one day and meet ETN for a dash. Should be fun to watch.

Could be my eyes but he looks like he is as big as the lineman and linebackers. Seems to have pretty good straight ahead speed but never saw any lateral moves. Wiggle in the hips. All straight ahead runs.....competition he played against appears suspect. But time will tell.

Technically 3AA, but they pretty much destroyed every opponent last year (closest were two games they won by 14 or so)

Are you serious? Its deroberts. Look at deroberts pulse. He is an idiot. Nothing gives. He should be banned from the site. You don't get a 79% pulse on here for this long without having mental issues and being a total jerk consistently.

Is there something wrong with your medulla oblongata? Are you really questioning evaluations by CU’s coaching staff at this point?

At 4.4 and also has a great shuttle time, 36” vertical so he is an athlete.
I don’t think he is on ETNs level but certainly has elite skills.

It never occurred to me that he wasn't fast because he runs a sub 4.5 40yd.

Peter Warwick ran a 4.58 at NFL Combiine yet elusive
May 6, 2020, 9:22 AM
|
|
and somewhat difficult to tackle at FSU.
Christian McCaffrey ran a 4.48 and has seen some success in the NFL. (Yes deliberate understatement.)
So my take is anything 4.5ish or under is plenty fast enough when combined with other skills like vision, balance and break away strength.

To answer the question, Will ran a 4.46 40 at regionals. ETN ran a 4.43 out of high school.
