Ok, so in context, he is slow for a NFL running back. The slowest running back at the combine also.
Slow 40 time, not a slow runner. Watch his low lights from his worst game and you will still think he’s fast. Reads holes and hits them hard. 40 times are so over rated for RB

It's funny how we know the Rams don't pay attention to the 40 at all, they've told us this numerous times. And yet so many people still pay attention to it and worry about it when talking about people the Rams should or shouldn't draft. It's a nice number to know I guess but nothing to weigh too heavily.

There are a lot of big RBs this year:

Isaac Guerendo – Louisville (221 lbs) PPF rating = 90.3 - Pass Blk - 52

Audric Estime – Notre Dame (221 lbs) PPF rating = 94.0 - 60

MarShawn Lloyd – USC (220 lbs) PPF rating = 87.2 - 29

Trey Benson – Florida St (223 lbs) PPF rating = 87.2 - 75

Kendall Milton – Georgia (225 lbs) PPF rating = 88.9 - 75

Jase McClellan – Alabama (221 lbs) PPF rating = 84.5 - 27

Miyan Williams – Ohoi State (229lbs) PPF rating = had knee surgery - not listed


I think the Rams will draft a RB and/or sign AJ Dillon, Dobbins, etc.
Half of these guys are not good at Pass protection. Per PFF, I noted their Pass black rating above, off to the right...
Benson and Milton seem to be the only two of the group that are proficient.
I wonder if Zach Evans didn't get much playing time last season due to this issue?

If they drafted Lloyd with the 3rd round Comp pick.. I wouldn’t freak out.
Williams has been hurt both seasons and the fall off was terrible last year.
Also staggers contracts well.

But I doubt that happens.
Can he Pass block? His PFF rating implies he can't.

Jaylen Wright.
- 4.3 speed ; home run threat
- Great contact balance ; was close to leading the nation in yards after contact
- competent receiver
- Good pass protector

I don't believe any of the others can offer his skill set.
