He doesn’t play afraid, despite his size, and he runs with a lot of efficiency. As in, no wasted moves or motion. Keeps his speed even as he looks back over his shoulder. And he just gears up and takes off like a shot. I like that. He’s got special speed, obviously.
Will likely be a great weapon for the Rams, on occassion. It’s just a shame they burned a 2nd on him. If the Rams didn’t already have Woods, Kupp, and Jefferson, I could almost see it. But I’d still want the pick to be a later round, cuz, well, O-line, ILB, edge, etc.
They really need to put some beef on him too. As with Harris. They can make sure they add good weight/size, without disrupting their crazy athleticism. In fact, if done right, it should make them even faster.
Would love the pick if it had been Round Five or Six. And, yes, you can find speedy guys late. Last year they found a receiver from JMU who ran a 4.25 — after the draft. I wish he had been good enough to make the team, cuz he destroyed teams in the FCS with that speed.
Oh, well. It is what it is. He is gonna be exciting to watch.
