I think Skattebo is more talented to be honest. He is a tougher runner (Shrader is no slouch!) and his demeanor is better.
Well let's see what 40 yd dash time Skattebo runs at the combine. Shrader's 40 time killed him, even though he looked plenty fast in games.
Which brings the question should he not run the 40 if he can’t get at least a 4.6? I’ve noticed many black players no longer do 3 cone or shuttle as they don’t test nearly as well as whites in it. It would certainly hurt his stock, but maybe running over a 4.7 would hurt it much more
If I'm not mistaken there are a couple of really good speed camps right there in Phoenix. He should work at it hard. The 40 is such a bogus metric for determining how good an RB is. There is so much technique involved that is not applicable to football. My son worked hard on his 40 times for his camps and other testing. In less than a month we were able to drop 3/10's of a second off of his time with start technique, acceleration and speed, more like what he would do on track than on the gridiron.
Agreed, he is an elite physical talent. He is a three-down back and exciting to watch. Some team is going to get a star (if he is allowed to play).
Navy wearing out Army. Wow!
Navy QB Horvath with 199 yards rushing. Looks like Taysom Hill out there! What happened to Army?
