halsey Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 ..would he be getting a lot more hype? I don't see a lot of difference in him and say a Reggie Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidWest Falcon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 He is definately good. I watched him closely in his bowl game this year vs Boise St. He tore it up. He is a great recieveing back as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBunch Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'd like to see more on him.. Could be a sleeper.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott24falcs Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 BadBunch (2/25/2008)I'd like to see more on him.. Could be a sleeper..No one that runs a 4.24 forty at the Combine can be considered a sleeper anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBunch Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Well before then. He would have been none as a sleeper.. Not to mention. He will still go in the 3rd or 4th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will still go in the 3rd or 4th round.I think he may have worked himself into the 2nd. If he goes to a team with a creative OC, he should do well. Whichever teams gets him, they better find ways to get him the ball a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSkully Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Nice little highlight vid of him: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Storms Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Probably, depends on where he went and his true ability in pads, I bet he goes in the second round, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxatlanta Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 He is sick. Considering the Hester Effect, teams are gonna think long and hard about him in the late first/early second.He reminds me of someone who used to play for us. I won't mention him by name :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Wow, the kid runs hard as ****. He breaks more tackles in one game than Darren McFadden broke all season, probably in his entire collegiate career, and he runs faster than "DMC" too. I'm going to have to watch some tape on this kid, he looks like a baller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halsey Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 He looks like he's practically jogging while leaving people in his dust. Even when he ran that ridiculous 40 at the combine he made it look effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Storms Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It was impossible for this to not develope into a McFadden thread, at least a hater started the comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood32 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Wow i thought he was just fast and used his speed to outrun everybody but he's actually tough and isn't afraid to lower his shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Richard Nixon (2/28/2008)It was impossible for this to not develope into a McFadden thread, at least a hater started the comparison.Are you talking about me? I'm not a McFadden "hater"(anyways, when did Darren McFadden develop his own "haters" and "lovers"?). I give him credit in that he's probably the best overall weapon available in this draft. I just don't look at him for any more than he truly is. He's a very good weapon that can get to the edge quickly and catch well out of the backfield. Running between the tackles, which is what RUNNING backs are supposed to do, is his biggest weakness. Mike Mayock says what I've been trying to say for the last few months best: His legs go dead on contact. All of the best backs in the NFL keep their legs pumping until they're down by contact. McFadden looks like he's paralyzed when he gets hit. He just stops. He might fall forward for an extra couple of yards, but the idea is that he falls. That's what makes Mendenhall and Stewart so much better is that they can get hit multiple times and still keep moving because of their leg drive. Chris Johnson has a much better leg drive than what I've seen from Darren McFadden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearljamnash13 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Wow he is one quick man and he runs hard up the middle too. I saw more than just relying on speed to the outside. I'll have to find more film on him since I only saw him against Boise State and VT. He does run harder than Reggie Bush and seems to have that kind of agility. He would make a great kick returner, but we already have Jerious who is insanely fast and agile. I think we really need a power runner more than anything because we definitely don't have an offensive line that could open up big enough holes for him to get to the 2nd and 3rd levels and use that agility and speed to take it to the house. Overall, great prospect and a 4.24 is crazy fast, and if we weren't in rebuilding mode, I'd say let's take a flyer on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo smooth Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Chris Johnson is an amazing athlete an absolute burner,but when you start comparing him to Mcfadden you are setting yourself up for failure. The only thing they have in common is that they are both elite athletes.Mcfadden is a much better runner than Johnson and all this stuff about legs going dead on contact is crap. I am a huge SEC fan and I have watched Mcfadden since he got to college and I don't remember his legs going "dead" on contact. People put too much stock in what an analyst on TV has to say he gets paid to examine form an opinion and sometimes criticize players.Their word is not law.
