That's pretty slow. I'm guessing UT had several players post faster times.

And that's the only RB we lost?

Everybody else is so screwed.

They couldn't photoshop speed on him instead of biceps?

Jordan Scarlett from UF put up an extremely impressive run for how powerful he is. 4.41 unofficial


Offical time was 4.416 I believe.

He is a 1st and 2nd down back. Unfortunately for Elijah, they are a dime a dozen in the NFL. He will be a good pickup for whomever grabs him (great pass blocker, physical runner). But he can't be a high draft pick if he can't help on 3rd down.

How much did he bench though?


26 reps. Two RBs had more reps (Jalin Moore - App State (27) & Alex Barnes - Kansas State (34!))

I was gonna say I’m pretty sure he’s gonna impress on the bench. He was one of Georgia’s few offensive weapons that did any damage against us in the Sugar Bowl. He might not have a ton of speed but he has got a move or two and can somewhat push a pile.

I think he would be a solid RB2 for someone.
Think the same thing about Benny Snell.

There were also 13 offensive lineman who had a higher vertical jump than Holyfield's 29.5in vertical jump.

Scarlett is a good back. Don't know why Florida didn't feature him more in his career.


Mostly stolen credit cards.

Perine was performing better than him by the end of the year, too, so there's that.

Holyfield's ability to catch the ball was the biggest knock on him entering today, nobody ever confused him with being a blazer but a 4.8 is pretty awful.

4.79 is slow af, bud.

I am between 2-3x faster than that.

Just stating facts.

They didn't want to wait 15 minutes for him to arrive.
