You know it's a stigma, all that sh*t should be over with. You put Jeff Thomas in south Florida and he would still be the most explosive player on the field and he from a powerhouse school in east st louisReminds me of Kai Hester , doesn't seem all that fast but plays physical. Looks like a good player but the rating seems high, he's a definite take doe
he has supposedly timed at a 4.4 and 4.5. good s & c might help him. some u guys have a stigma tho that if a kid is not from So Flo, he is slow. hester was faster than carter or jenkins prob JJ too.
Um no, I watched his film and he seemed like he wasn't moving that fast. I don't care about stigmas, I judge with eyes watching film. Not by stars or 40 times like most here.
That's why I liked some of the three star prospects more than some of the 4 stars, some people can't get past stars or ratings. If this guy was a 3 star most here would be like " he's a nice prospect but his speed seems iffy"
Like I said " he's physical and is a definite take". I just don't see great speed , just because you have a good 40 doesn't make you play fast on the field. If you don't believe venture over to the Holmes thread.
Am I saying he's too slow? No, he's just doesn't seem all that fast. Which I think is greatly overrated , especially at safety.
I mean we just haven't had true speed at that spot in years. Highsmith, Rodgers, carter, Jenkins Jaqua... yeah those guys were blazers...
