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.
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.

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).

Skattebo was voted the offensive MVP for the game even though he was on the losing team. Helluva accomplishment.

I see bigger and bigger cracks in the CASTE RUNNING BACK DAM. The powers that shouldn't be are doing their best to hold back this
latest wave of white running backs. The only problem is that many more fans are waking up. Even some of the DWF's. Interesting times indeed!

I do think we should expect a 4.6 just based on the eye test. Will it matter? I honestly don't think so - 4.6 puts him in the same class as a good chunk of NFL starters. He reminds me of CJ Anderson (4.6) and comps favorably to other power backs like Tyler Allgeier and David Montgomery who were 3rd-5th round picks at 4.6. So, unless his combine numbers are significantly worse than expected, he should get drafted around there because the cats already out of the bag.

Cam Skattebo should be on an NFL Roster no doubt getting carries!

I agree, based on talent and production alone he should be considered a potential star.

But if he doesn’t run at least under 4.6 I can see him being told to be a fullback. We have seen it before many times.

Gerhart was even talked about as a FB prior to him running in the 4.5 range… and he narrowly lost the Heisman.

Kind of related... anyone else remember when the NFL hosted a "Veterans Combine" back in 2015? They apparently turned down thousands of applicants but couldn't get interest in any of the players who they eventually screened through due to their lackluster measurements (despite old CF favorite Adam Carriker racking 40x225 on the bench). They never ran another one.

The running back candidates were particularly brutal:

A classic quote from Michael Bush:

Michael Bush wants back in the NFL. He, along with several familiar names, took part in the inaugural veteran combine on Sunday, and the 30-year-old running back who hasn't had an NFL carry since 2013, said he was happy "to show people I can still run a little bit."
Unfortunately, Bush needed 4.91 seconds to cover 40 yards."You gotta be (expletive) me," he said upon hearing his time, via NFL.com. "... 4.91? ... There you go, there goes my career."To be fair, Bush played at 245 pounds during his career, so it's not like anyone expected him to bust out a 4.3. That wasn't much of a consolation, however."Man, stop playing," he said to reporters. "4.91? You all just messed it up for me. A 4.91? That's like saying you can come off the bench, and you can come catch me."
Bush wasn't the only one surprised by his slow time. It seemed to be a theme for other veterans looking for work."They said I was a 4.6 or something, but I’ve been running 4.3s and 4.4s all through training," former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Carlton Mitchell said, via SBNation. "I think the lasers, I think it’s the first time they were using them. People that know me know that I’m not a 4.6 guy. When they told me that I said ‘What?’ ..."I was training six days a week before I even knew about this. Once I found out the good news, I just upped everything a little bit," Mitchell continued. "I had one [pass] that got away from me and that bothers me. First drop all offseason, but I felt pretty good. There’s certain things I still need to work on, of course, but I’m pretty happy for the most part."Meanwhile, Bush remained shocked."It hurts," he said. "It hurts."The former Louisville star spent four seasons in Oakland, another two in Chicago, and was with the Cardinals for a few weeks last season. In seven seasons, Bush rushed for 3,250 yards, averaging 4.0 yards per carry, and scored 29 touchdowns.

Again, to be fair, none of these unsigned players got picked up to my knowledge. I still think about this though every time some re-tread bum (who is black by default) gets a new shot. What drills exactly did they do to impress the front office? Did they perhaps lay down on a couch and be told to relax?

Watching these commercials are as maddening as ever. Hegetsus.com (the judeo-Christian propaganda campaign) has a great new ad. It’s shows the plight of some mestizo family in some nameless latin America country. Some warlord gang comes and they must flee (to enter America illegally of course). All the while the voiceover is telling Jesus’ tale and the commercial ends with “Jesus was a refugee”. Blatantly untrue manipulative heartstring pulling and guilt-tripping to further the invasion. They are browning your small town Mr zio-cuckservative and yet you still support this!!! I hope not but these ads must resonate with some….
As a proud Christian, I respond to all the lib/cuck "Jesus was a refugee, so we must let the brown people steal our land, our money, and our daughters" bleating with "No, Jesus was not a refugee, and if he were here he'd kick all the illegal invaders out, just like he kicked the moneychangers out of the Temple. He knows what to do with people who go where they don't belong."

This is a 'small' year for QB/OL in 25' draft, game changer RB like Jeanty or Skattebo should get drafted early than predicted.

Jack Sawyer also had a nice game, everyone knew he has potential, if NFL teams do pick guys who has huge upside even with white skin (Taven Bryan/Bryan Bresee), Jack Sawyer is there.

Brian Leonard 4.45 or so and that POS Dick Vermeil blurted out "fullback."
Yeah, but at this time he WAS playing fullback at Rutgers after the gap-toothed wigger HC moved him there to make room for the Real Athlete at RB. That and Vermeil was always a caste clown.

UGA vs Notre Dame starts at 4pm. Hopefully another good game with White athletes to root for on both teams.
