Just an absolute beast. Almost bested Chris Johnson's time on the 40-yard dash.

 

If there is a guy to replace MJD right now, Archer could be the guy to do it.

Speed isn't everything. Where was this guy before the forty?

He so fast he good!

 

But he is also 173 pounds. Isn't that like 40 less than MJD? Yeah I don't think thats good. He has more kick returned potential than anything else, and we already have last years 5th round pick. He isn't an MJD replacement at all. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/dri-...id=2543596 That is his report, not exactly stunning.

he's actually pretty well known but do to his size "173*" he's going to fall a bit. I could see us drafting him because we need more speed but I don't think he'd start for us.
He is like 173 pounds he would not replace MJD, he will be a great piece on the roster but def not gonna start for any team in the NFL, would be a solid mid round pick

Tore up the MAC in 2012. Hurt most of 2013.
He's talented and I have always liked him, but he's not going to be able to be a RB in the NFL. He's gonna have to be a more explosive McCluster, which he could be.

mayock compared him to Ace sanders on NFL network today

Yeah Ace is what Dri should aspire to be, but w/ the position switch and all the situation and learning curve will be more like McCluster at first...but hopefully better. 
Might be a great returner, third-down back, even a slot receiver, but he's not a pro running back. He'd last two carries, tops.

Nah, I'll take Tre Mason..... Speed isn't everything and this is speed without gear on. Combine doesn't mean a whole lot......

He's a gadget. We already have two of those.

No name University
I've watched his youtube cut ups, and I'd say he's just a return guy. He can't catch well enough to be a WR, and isn't powerful enough to play RB. All an NFL defender has to do is get one arm on him, and he goes down. 

We need a hoss. Give me a guy like Jeremy Hill or Terrence West. We have enough fleas to carry the ball, we need some more dogs.
