I just watched a repeat of the RBs going through their drills. Don't know if it was edited or not for time the second time around, but what I observed was the complete marginalization of Ryan Nall. At one point or another during the drills Mike Mayock gave his spiel on what seemed to be every single tailback there, but not Nall. As Leonardfan wrote, the NFL Network went to commercial break just as Nall was about to run his first 40, after every back from A to M went before him, replete with commentary.
During one of the drills, my hopes were momentarily raised when LaDainian Tomlinson said "I really like this guy." Mayock responded, "Nall?" Tomlinson said, "Penny," the next runner alphabetically after Nall.
Nall is tall and lean, fast for his size and elusive. In my eyes he's the best big White tailback prospect since Rob Konrad, who was totally screwed over by the NFL, mainly courtesy of Jimmy Johnson and the Dolphins, who drafted him in the second round, absurdly, as a blocking fullback.
When the RBs were shown grouped together before drills, Nall's height stood out. Height doesn't necessarily translate into anything, but there's no doubt Nall is a size/measurables/performance standout. NFL Network and their on-air stooges Eisen and Mayock followed the tactic of all but pretending Nall wasn't there. The marginalization routine is a time-honored one used with non-mainstream political activists going back a long, long time. Obviously it also works when it comes to the long-entrenched Caste System. Before about 1971 or '72, Nall would have been a cinch first round draft pick.
If the QB position was still 99% White, and there was but one black QB at the Combine, one who stood out, would it have been handled differently? The answer is so obvious as to make it ridiculous to even pose the question. The only issue is whether enough White sports fans are finally catching on or not to the anti-White racket that's been hidden in plain sight for so long now.
