BleedTheClock Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Who are the homerun hitting guys in CFB? The guys with insane electric speed. Even if they aren't consistent playmakers, I'm looking for dudes that can fly past you if given space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a game breaker and as frustrating of a player as you'll ever see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 If one is talking pure speed this is how I would rate them at the moment. Very explosive players who have big play ability. Rondale Moore FR WR PurdueMarquise Brown JR WR OklahomaJerry Jeudy SOPH WR AlabamaAndy Isabella SR WR UMASSGreg Dortch RS SOPH WR Wake ForestParris Campbell SR WR Ohio StateKaVontae Turpin SR WR TCUMecole Hardman JR WR GeorgiaKJ Hamler FR WR Penn StateJeff Thomas SOPH WR Miami FL The odd thing is Bryce Love, a guy with 260+ carries last year and a crazy 8.0 yards per carry average is having a pretty bad year in terms of explosive plays. Only getting 4.3 yards a rush and not nearly having as many big explosive runs. The OL has been surprisingly bad though and that does not help but it is odd, especially considering he is coming off the summer where he was supposed to get back to being healthy. And even early on he did not do great and now is injured yet again. One of the most explosive players coming into the season now looks like he should have totally when out for the draft last year. Could easily fall out of the 1st round with how he has played so far this season I feel. The lack of production is very surprising, especially considering now they have a decent pass game on Stanford when last year they were awful at passing the football early last year. Yet Love ran wild, and pretty much most of the OL is back as well this year, one would assume some develop and getting better from a strong group last year, but yeah they have been bad overall.

Jeezla Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I think Darrell Henderson might run 4.39 Quez Watkins, WR from Southern Miss, supposedly runs in the 4.3's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The problem with these "speed freak" guys is that they often aren't great football players. There's a big heap of them who don't amount to a hill of beans. Tyreek Hill has obviously made it the flavour of the week to chase...and i think some teams are going to go bonkers overdrafting speedsters...but the thing that really makes Hill special, is that he's got real football speed in pads, and it's not just straight line or shiftiness...it's both. And he's a terrific receiver in the other aspects as well...not just a 1-dimensional fast guy. It's hard to hide guys with that sort of explosive, dynamic, gamebreaking ability...unless they have the sort of checkered past Hill had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't categorize him as explosive at all. I definitely wouldn't say he deserves to be on this list, but he does seem to actually have a little bit more break-away speed than Dobbins believe it or not. Dobbins is definitely shiftier / a little bit quicker, but long speed isn't really a strength of his. Dobbins definitely has a more explosive jump cut.
