I know many of you have noticed I have been all over this kid for months and it is for good reason he has flown under the radar because a perceived belief he would be a big plodding HB. If you watched his tape you know he has a rare mix of size and speed that is special. He had over 2k yards without a bowl game good for 2nd in the country and better than even the great Ricky Williams had at Texas. So he had his pro day today and let me throw a couple things in here...
Now I'm not getting into the pro day hand time argument again, but the guy realistically runs as fast if not faster than Joe Mixon at nearly 237 pounds. People will point to his under utilization in the passing game, but I continue to argue because he didn't doesn't mean he can't.
This guy is going to be the steal of the draft in the 3rd or 4th round. I have compared him to Steven Jackson from the start and I stand by that comparison.
4.41-4.44 times for D'Onta Foreman at the Texas pro day ?

Perspective on D'Onta Foreman's 4.45 40 at 237 lbs today: Using combine data since 2003, no RB weighing 232+ has ever run that fast.
