White Shogun said:I don't understand how they can make the argument with a straight face that the running back position is all about, and only about, speed. There are many black running backs who aren't that fast or agile, either one. Strength, power, peripheral vision, mental alertness, and a host of other factors have a role in determining just how good a running back a player may be.

Considering that you only need enough speed to hit the hole and outrun a few lineman, why do they insist on saying that a back have 4.4 speed? How many running backs actually run that fast? You're going to need more power and strength to take hits and break tackles once you're in the open field facing linebackers and safeties anyway.

Chicago Sun Times wrote an article wondering why there were no white
running backs in the NFL.
Thanks for linking this article JD074 and Ground Fighter.
white tornado said:I could go on. The speed argument is an attempt at an excuse. It doesn't work. Speed can't be the reason that Forsey, who runs a 4.6, gets no invite to the combine and Domanick Davis, who runs a 4.6, does.
There are other motives in play here.
Futuregohan30 what do you think the other motives are.
