All I know is he ran right through Colorado all day, which isn't saying a ton, but he looked a little like MJD, though not as quick in his cuts. Has power, gets low and loves to keep grinding. His post-game interview, if one cares about that stuff, was quite impressive. You can be sure he'll work his *** off and give it his all. Kid gave his heart and soul to Kansas and the town, will be a favorite in any locker room. The kind you really root for...

I loved this dude's highlights. Ooh, he is smooth and quick and fast. He is patient when he needs to be and has good footwork. Man, I like this dude.

Y’all need to stop talking about my Jayhawk.
Big fan as well. I honestly think he's every bit the prospect either of the Ohio St guys are.

Wonder if he will run at the combine. Then we will know about raw athleticism.
I think I liked Judkins better. Not by a ton, but by a decent amount. I’d pick ‘em with Henderson, though I might give a little nod to Henderson because he looks dazzling in the open field. It’s between the tackles you worry about with Henderson, it would seem. (I really say that as a deduction from his injury history.)

All this fantasy space love leads me to believe that the GMs are going to hate him and he'll be stuck like Sean Taylor is on the Buccaneers.

Tucker is a tough one because it was never crystal clear whether he fell because of the health concerns that popped up at the 11th hour or if it had something to do with his college tape, which showed some flaws. Then, to make matters worse, he blew up when he got an opportunity only to get relegated back to the bench.
I think Neal will be a different outcome on draft with some team committing a day 2 pick on him. But, if not, it's a nice reminder to those of us that do a lot of early prep to throw most of it out the window after we find out how the NFL values these players.

Devin Neal has ELITE elusiveness
He’s put up 34 TDs and 2452 rushing yards in the last two seasons while forcing 126 missed tackles.
He excels in a balanced Kansas rushing attack thanks to his vision. Also has good ball security (2 fumbles, 421 carries).
Day 2 talent.

Devin Neal and Quinshon Judkins are the two guys I seem to be different than consensus on so far with RBs. I'd have Neal in that first tier with Hampton, Henderson, and Johnson (whereas from what I see most generally have him a tier below). And I'd have Judkins down in that next tier, where it seems most people have him in that first one.
Edit: I keep basically ignoring Jeanty, obviously he's in the first tier all alone. Then the next I'd have Hampton, Neal, Henderson, Johnson. Then below that Judkins, Skattebo, Ollie, etc.

Kansas RB Devin Neal has the skillset to be an early down workhorse and could be relied upon on pass protection situations. #BuildingTheBoard
Positives
Ideal NFL frame at 5'10 220 lbs
Negatives
Average to below average long speed. Explosiveness in general leaves you wanting more.

Combine and draft capital will be really important. Right now, he's got a Day Two grade, which probably means that range or maybe as low as the 2.06 or 2.08. It'll really depend on who you're drafting with.

In fairness, the forty time was disappointing, but I thought Neal looked really good in drills.
Lets just close the thread on this note please. Nothing else to see here. Move along and draft someone else guys.

Didn’t Bucky Irving bomb the 40?

There are certainly examples of successful RBs who posted disappointing forty times. I wasn’t expecting a 4.4 time, but 4.60 was surprising. Neal plays faster than that. Hopefully, he improves that time at his Pro Day workout. I still have Neal on my draft board, of course, but he was pushing his way up rankings, and in a very deep class, this definitely hurts him.

Yup, a 4.58.
He bombed his entire RAS score, yet on the field we saw a dynamic rookie RB with some elite traits, (short area burst, vision, contact balance, etc).

4.53 short shuttle at his Big 12 pro day.
The more this guy tests, the worse it gets. Still love watching him slice and dice college teams on film but those holes and lanes close quickly in the NFL.

There are loads of names who ended up nowhere.
Damien Martinez was getting serious hype. Brashard Smith. Tahj Brooks.
Neal just taken by Saints, but 6th round is not getting anyone excited is it.
