ryantlanta 1,135 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 He had good college production seems faster in pads. Maybe a late round pick? https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/03/20/elijah-holyfield-fails-to-improve-on-slow-combine-40-time/ Link to post Share on other sites
B_84falcons 466 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Sheesh. Had a good year at Georgia too. Hopefully someone picks him up and let's him develop. Feel that he could still be a really good power back in the NFL Link to post Share on other sites
runshoot 1,181 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 maybe the UGA homers will stop with the love for this kid. No thank you Link to post Share on other sites
FalconsIn2012 33,543 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 They should run the 40 in pads and helmet. Link to post Share on other sites

No thank you He's definitely powerful no denying that but I wasn't sold on him to begin with either. I'd much rather a recovering Bryce Love before him or even that RB from penn state Link to post Share on other sites
athell 29,517 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 UDFA Highly doubtful he gets picked at all imo Link to post Share on other sites

Sucks but sometimes on field success just doesn't translate Link to post Share on other sites

metatron360 349 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Elijah isn't your speed player but he can block and his avg in the NFL will be 5.5 to 6 ypc with a high after contact. Turner the burner wasn't blowing down the field either but watching him was alot of fun Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFanSince1969 12,367 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'd rather trade a late rounder for Jordan Howard... Link to post Share on other sites
B_84falcons 466 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I meant develop in general. He seemed to have some very good success at Georgia I can see him being a bruiser back. He worked with Christian Coleman the track star (holds 40 yard dash indoor record) so shocking he didn't improve his time at all Link to post Share on other sites
B_84falcons 466 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Josh Jacobs ran a pretty underwhelming time as well 4.63-4.67 which wasn't expected Link to post Share on other sites

Zero chance he has 5.5-6 ypc. Holyfield just isn't that good. Link to post Share on other sites
FinalScore2.0 1,122 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Michael Turner ran a 4.49 at the combine at 237 lbs. That's why he was the burner Link to post Share on other sites

Unless we assume he's gonna have a best average in NFL history, over Jamaal Charles, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders and Gayle Sayers, I'd say that's a bit of a stretch. Link to post Share on other sites
