Exactly. He is clearly a better player than all by maybe Jeanty. I’d rate Cam as better personally. But he is either the #1 or #2 back in the draft.Yeah, if he runs a 4.6 or so like Schrader did he will be a mid to late round pick. Blacks can be "slow" and get drafted early as a productive back because they have "wiggle", "burst" and a plethora of other made-up attributes. The final one to doom his draft status is the chorus from all of the experts that "his game doesn't translate to the NFL" bla bla bla. He'd best be working on his 40 drills before the combine.
The average 40 for an NFL running back is about 4.6. However, whites must be much lower (under 4.5) to be considered as running backs and not fullbacks. Blacks are allowed to be slower.
Maybe all the positive press Skattebo is getting will give him some leeway in that the powers that be cannot hide him as he has become a household name with his sensational game (and season).
