1.68 10 yard split. Awesome... Yeah, not much of a need for OT speed like that, but it's fun watching how athletic some of these big guys are.
was hoping he would fall to the Cowboys, but that time will probably increase his stock to be picked much earlier.
5 plucks in a row no drops.
Cool.
Interesting isn't it?Kleck said:
I like the fact that both of these guys came in at least around 200 lbs. There is NOT a concern for me about size, and both guys can probably pack on about 5-10 more lbs within the next 12-18 mos. easily. I expect both to run 4.35 or better in the 40, solidifying Top 40 draft status. And lastly, I wouldn't annoint Spiller as the undisputed #1 RB in this class, not yet....Mathews and Best are nipping on his heels here, and over the next few weeks, I'm expecting the race to be wide open all the way up to draft time where it will become a matter of preference.ETA: Dwyer is out of the running for the top spot, I personally am avoiding him in fantasy leagues...Kleck said:
Why? I think he'll have the best pro career of the bunch. By a mile.
I agree with most of this....but adding weight can slow guys down and some may not be able to do it. I thought their would be more of a differential between Best and Spiller.Dwyer needs to run a great 40 to get any consideration from me.
Slow feet, not great agility.
For his size, he has phenomenal feet, quick feet, and fantastic agility. I watched virtually every game of his at GT. This is simply untrue.Now, I will agree that he is not the scat back type that Spiller and Best are. But, he brings so much more to the table, imo.I don't think Dwyer has slow feet. I really like this guy. He is going to be a very good RB IMO.
It takes awhile for him to get going....I don't see a great change of direction which is the two areas I outlined.Again...people evaluate differently....and it is relative.
I didn't think he looked that fast. He stumbled too....next one should be faster if he doesn't.
True, these are empirical questions that only time will tell. Beyond what my eyes tell me, even scouts you read have applauded how quickly he hits the hole. Again, evaluating a 230+ lb RB is just a different thing than guys that are 195-ish. Different animals, altogether. But, Dwyer has it all, and I would have no concerns about making him my feature back at the NFL level.It takes awhile for him to get going....I don't see a great change of direction which is the two areas I outlined.Again...people evaluate differently....and it is relative.
Drops too many easy passes IMOgolden tate just ran better than expected 4.36*...that would seem to increase the chance he goes in the 2nd round...mayock calling him best RAC WR in the draft...* my honda
5'10 1/4", 199... Not as small as I've seen some claim he is either.golden tate just ran better than expected 4.36*...that would seem to increase the chance he goes in the 2nd round...mayock calling him best RAC WR in the draft...* my honda
same weight as reggie wayne, almost 2" shorter (the giants steve smith is a listed 5'11" 195... santonio holmes - 5'11" 192)5'10 1/4", 199...

Who said he was slow?........ 
Reportedly ran a 4.48 in HS.I think he runs a 4.55 range today.
What are we projecting Spiller running here?FWIW, I love the 40 yd dash and all, but when guys like Emmitt only ran a 4.8, and the Raiders routinely pick guys who run sub-4.4s, it is sort of suspect how much interest I put in these times.
reminds me of how 'slow' Beanie and Shonne Green's feet looked to many. by the end of the year(thru playoffs) i think everyone was pleased. I'm sure everyone will be pleased by Dwyer as well in the end. slow feet on a bigger back is only a real problem is they tend to dance like Ron Dayne didI don't think Dwyer has slow feet. I really like this guy. He is going to be a very good RB IMO.
I agree with you. I like watching and talking about the 40, but it really doesn't matter a whole lot to me. If the guy is fast on the field and runs away from players, then he's fast no matter if he runs a 4.3 or 4.5. I also don't have a problem with a RB who runs a 4.6 or slower and seldom breaks runs of 20 or more if he averages 4+ypc and knows how to find the endzone.
Dwyer's only sort of difficult to evaluate insomuch as the GT offense and that crap spread option alignment, with Dwyer like 3 yards behind the LOS in a FB 3-pt stance much of the time. But, what I did see was a guy who had great burst, shifty and powerful through the first line of defense, no wasted motion, punishing stiff-arm, and out-running the secondary with ease. Obviously not the jaw-dropping quicks of Spiller or Best, but puh-lenty of burst + top-end speed.
