Other than having blazing top end speed what else does he do great? He isn't an elusive runner, doesn't have very good quick lateral movement for someone with his speed, is easily tackled, isn't an elite passer, he does have a strong arm, doesn't read defenses well, and can't do RPO's worth a crap. Seriously, other than running fast, what does he do that's so great?

I think you're confusing what an athlete is versus being asked to play QB within a given system.
Have you seen Lamar Jackson play? There are games where that dude can't the broad side of a barn, but he makes enough plays to win (especially with Derrick Henry keeping the secondary honest).
Again, I'm not a Milroe apologist by any means, but if someone can find him a spot he'd be tuff.
Tyreek Hill ran a 4.29, BTW. Do you think being easily tackled is somehow holding him back?

Are you talking about that guy who went to Arizona State?
Or the one who went to Ohio State?

I was watching SEC network we he ran. The time on the field that the SECN reported by the scouts was 4.46. Bama reported later it was 4.37. SECN guys even joked about not believing the time reported by BAMA. That being said 4.46 is still hauling arse.

Just speed alone doesn't make someone a great athlete. He's built like a greek god, no doubt. But he doesn't have quick twitch lateral movement, he's not elusive, which is a physical trait that would fall into the term athleticism, and he's not hard to bring down.
We have no idea if he's good at catching a football like a receiver, and we know from the Oklahoma game he's a $hitty tackler. So it's not like a position change is realistic for him in the NFL.
Everything I've mentioned falls under "athleticism".

Good for him. Feats like that is what will get him drafted somewhere in the first two rounds. Hopefully he lands with the perfect team.

Nope. Catching a football or tackling is not being an athlete, that's playing football.
A 5'-6" white dude who runs a 6.4 can still catch a football or lay your arse out if he knows proper technique.
That same guy can't do this if he practiced for 50 years:

It made deion sanders a lot money…..

No, speed by itself didn't. Being able to be hard to tackle once he had the ball, being able to break on balls and pick QB's left and right is what got Sanders paid.

How quickly can he read a defense though?
Posted on 3/19/25 at 3:59 pm to paperwasp
Ty Jackson is the mostest talented.
Posted on 3/19/25 at 4:00 pm to paperwasp
If he could ever learn to read defenses, he'd be an absolute monster.

It is an athletic skill and definitely falls under athleticism.

The Florida LB?
I honestly haven't seen it, what did he do?
Or are you back on the mid-day meth again?
Posted on 3/19/25 at 4:02 pm to paperwasp
I think he was mismanaged at bama.

Both that were developed into Heisman Trophy winners at LSU.

Okay bro, you're right. Let's just agree to disagree.
