Who knows?
TR was terrible. MI is only recently become serviceable. EL has been lights out from day 1.
If I were to predict in 2010 the NFL performance of those 3, it would have been completely opposite.

What's Lynch's quick twitch like? Behind a good Oline and good blocking scheme he would be good if he didn't have that he wouldn't. Just like 85% of NFL running backs.

I can't recall, but I imagine it was one of those deals where a player gets to try what position they want (within reason), but if that doesn't work, then they'll make a switch.

Does it really matter? If he runs for 1,300 yards and 15 TDs THIS season for ALABAMA, I will be very happy.

I want to say he did, but he also broke all kind of records as a RB...

Matt Miller, the draft breakdown guy for BR, said he loves Henry but said he hates how Henry kind of tiptoes around behind the line looking for the hole. Admittedly, he said he has the most trouble grading RBs. He thought T-Rich was gonna be a star.

This is the SEC Rant. Not the More Sports Board. If you want to talk about NFL hypotheticals about a current college player during the season then please go to the More Sports Board where they entertain those kinds of thoughts.

Conflicting, but one has him at combine has helped him at 4.7, scout and rivals has him at 4.58..
So we'll say 4.6 area.

It's all opinion-based. Just wondering what other opinions and thoughts were, aren't we on this board for that?

seems to run a little too straight up


For sure. Someone his size should be running behind his pads. He doesn't have the physical running game you'd think he would have for a rb of his size. He also needs to be more consistent. There are games he is nonexistent.

He is as physical as possible, his center of gravity is just too high for him to be an effective trucker in confined areas.
