nlesthought Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 5 games this year Jacobs didn't avg over 3yds per carry. I don't know many potential first rounders who don't show up on game day. Ark State (lol) 5 carries Miss 6 carries A&M 6 carries Citadel 2 carries Ark 5 carries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't correlate to pro success. Holyfield looks like YAC Ertz running out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top 5 program with 'chip aspirations had him running more times than their blue chip RB. Yet your convinced because hes timed slow in a 40yd dash he can't run at the next level. Meanwhile Jacobs being 3rd on his team in yds per carry and total yards means nothing yet he's a better prospect than his teammates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While his 40 time is underwhelming, my primary concern is that he's just so stiff looking when he runs. All those highlights you showed above did nothing to change that in my eyes, none of them were remotely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're comparing him to other top flight athletes doing hurdles and bending etc Barkley Gurley Ewok Bell Those guys are world class athletes, all I'm saying is Holyfield is an efficient ball carrier. EDIT: There isn't a world class RB in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
