Quote:The hands certainly didn't help, but the bottomline is he's not an exceptionally talented back and he runs a 4.6. You find a few anomalies like Alfred Morris (playing under Shannahan's system) and Frank Gore or Eddie Lacy (rehabing injuries in the pre-draft process) who ran slow times in the pre-draft process and later become productive backs, but by and large it's hard to make it in the NFL as a RB with 4.6 speed. You look at the 1000 yard rushers in the NFL last year ... Shady McCoy (4.5), Matt Forte (4.44), Jamaal Charles (4.38), Adrian Pederson (4.4), Marshawn Lynch (4.42), Ryan Matthews (4.32), DeMarco Murray (4.41), Chris Johnson (4.24), Reggie Bush (4.37). When you're running 4.6 you're looked at as a platoon back, and those guys are a dime a dozen who will have to make their way on special teams and pick up pass protection concepts quicker than their peers to earn playing time.
