Every Running Back's 40 Yard Dash!

in the top 40 by a runner here at the combine is canceled and a 467 for Bailey. I'll give you the numbers here. Rich, we like to do this at the top of each group if you look at the top 10 riders in practice.

yard

s in the NFL last year, his average 40 time was 4.48, so that's what you're aiming for. There's the Chicago Bears Brain Trust and they knew they'd be there and they're smiling like yeah, right. Seriously, I know guys, I know it, I know it right away. I think they thought Florida State's Trey Benson might come first with 14 rushing touchdowns for him last year.

Look at him, he does a lot of long runs, so I think he'll do well here. 43 39 he's definitely in the category of doing well here, that's like Bree Hall territory. Look at Bree Hall. Bree Hall weighed 217 lbs and ran 439 mhm. He's 216 pounds and just ran 439 and now Blake Corm is truly one of the best

running

back

s Michigan has ever had. You can hear the Wolverine faithful in the crowd cheering for him at Ash's 40-

yard

line. 58 rushing touchdowns in his career. 27 last year. in the national championship season, Blake corm is a 453, so the competition with him is a name, we come

back

here for you, the rich Devonte Freeman Devonte Freeman almost identical size, he ran 458 Blake just ran 453, like

every

one We know, he had a Heisman Trophy campaign.

Two years ago he went down the drain with a knee injury in the second-to-last game of the regular season against Illinois, he tried against Ohio State but couldn't decide to stay and now he's here at the combine with a ring. Here's the Giants' Brian Dall's Isaiah Davis from South Dakota State breaking down what they're going to do with the

running

back, a big question with the franchise tag deadline early next week not It looks like Saquon is going to be tagged again, does that mean he? hits the free agent market, there are a lot of decisions and a lot of options for talented running backs on the market this year, the rabbit has a solid 459 time for him, they will use him to summon the wildcat and he just runs between guys and bounces off the tackles there's Jim Harbaugh with his son There goes dad, we're back and there's the crowd he's applauding I think Michigan could play a home game today he's wearing his Rose Bowl jersey his jacket yeah, there's a lot of the fans from Wolverine here Ray Davis from Kentucky I want to see him this time because he's one of the ones I really loved watching, he's a powerful runner, it's a good time for someone who weighs 211 pounds in that 58 and changes frame, the bottom of His body reminded me of Frank.

Gore, who we've seen in the building this year 21 touchdowns for Davis this year 14 on the ground seven in the air, let's send things to our trio at The Concourse Chris Rose Charles Davis Peter shreer jent Rich good afternoon and I thought uh rich and DJ , they just mentioned it, not only are these guys competing against each other in their draft class, but they're also competing against perhaps the most decorated free agency class we've ever seen, we don't know what's going to happen with Saquan. King Henry is Tony will be available for DeAndre Swift, who knows what could happen with Nick Chub in Cleveland, so Charles has a lot of interesting eyes on this one today, there are certainly a lot of different body types, you know, playing Styles Peters, we look at it . the brilliant Allen from Wisconsin Dylan Johnson from Washington the greats, you have the Flyers like Ailen Robinson coming out of Texas and Jaar Johnson from Louisville How about some guys that could emerge?

Do you think you'd be talking about a Monmouth running back? Come on, sure, Jaden, did you ever talk about Isaiah Davis? We just saw him run, those are the guys that emerge, don't forget Dylan lobby in New Hampshire,

every

team is looking for Christian Mcaffrey in the first round or Isaiah Peko in the 7th. uh I think the star of the combine drill is going to be Jaylen Wright, he's already done a broad jump that's 11 feet long, okay, that jump right there is the second longest ever done by a runner in the combine, so you're talking about 1102 and now you're talking about him going to run 40 and he could get to 43,433, we'll see, but he's at the end of this drill, Jayen, right at Tennessee's average of 7.4 yards per carry, fellow VA CD, you see this guy play, say that. more time where did you go to school Tennessee thanks Rocky Top I appreciate it well we just saw that watch on a 472 that's not official this is Isaac gendo out of Louisville let's send him back to the cabin Rich thank you very much Louisville Cardinal this The guy is moving pretty well, it's 433, he was definitely moving.

BR Brett Coleman had texted me this morning and said that when he visited Grindo, he said he used to run with Jonathan Taylor when they were together previously and said he kept up with him and me. I think that's a pretty good indication that he was telling the truth: 11 rushing touchdowns for Isaac Gendo in his final season as a Cardinal after five with Wisconsin, a lot again since we mentioned six-year players, a lot of players taking advantage of the extra year. of eligibility due to the co-season that will be something to watch out for with college football in the future, without this position having impacted more than any other George helani of Boise State 452 good time I want to finish that, Rich thought, I'm sure of the fact You know, we talked about whether he's undervalued and whether they're falling in the draft.

Will these colleges understand the value of what a great running back can do for them, so they offer them good packages to stay for that extra year? has led many of these kids to stay in school. Therein lies the uncomfortable truth. Frank Gore. Oh, this is one of my favorite players to watch in this class. Bucky Irving. Bucky Irving. It's fun. Reminds me of Devon. A little question about him. top speed, it's a good time for him, faster than fast, but if you've seen Devon single ter and what he's done in his young career, very similar, excellent, stop, start, quickness, change of direction, caught 58 balls, you can, you can do many things. with Bucky Irving NFL Network researcher extraordinaire Jack Android listens when you talk he says single ter ran a 466 here so it's a tenth of a second faster than the comp we'll take it Stacy Dales we just saw a photo of the great Frank Gore.

Of course your son doesn't run this 40, but we'll see him in drill work, you know what he said this week, you dads helped me become a pro, but I want to set a higher bar for the name Frank Gore , as? about that confidence that is a very high bar that has to be set higher here is Dylan Johnson from Washington Dylan Johnson suffered a little damage at the end of the year great physicality back 16 rushing touchdowns look at him against Arizona and he carries some of those Wildcat Defenders I said he likes It looks like a backpack, he had a wild backpack in that game, but his game has more power than speed. 233 totes last year.

Here's Jair Jordan, another Louisville Cardinal flask. Jordan, he has very fast feet. He also hits a lot of home runs when you look at him. goes out into space, can go a little lighter, you see, I hope it runs fast, it came out pretty good 456 I thought you'd be curious to know what the 10 is there, it looked like it came out fast Ian Rapaport, good Saturday to you guys, too rich , they saw Frank Gore Sr. having a moment and essentially becoming a personnel advisor for the 49ers. He participated in high-level meetings the first time he did so at the combine, that of Frank Gore Jr.'s son, Stacy Dale.

He mentioned he won't be running the 40 today, he's going to work out and he's met with 10 teams during this combine, including some interesting ones where his dad played for the Dolphins and the Bills, it was a late edition, in fact one of the last players chosen. the East West Shrine game he finished as the starting running back and one of the best players, so there's obviously a lot on the line for him today and a lot to see. Can you mention this class of veteran runners that we have already seen? The class of runners. You've already seen teams like the Vikings move on from Alexander Madison.

There will be plenty of teams needing running backs who may be the best class of free agents we've ever seen, especially if the Giants, for example, don't franchise tag Squan. If Josh Jacobs doesn't get a friend, there will be a lot of top running backs available over the next two weeks, which is interesting to think about. You know, and you talk about all the teams that Frank G played on. Did you know that before Jonathan Taylor ran for a thousand? yards and in this building for this franchise the last thousand yard rusher for the Colts was Frank G.

He didn't even remember that Frank played for the Colts, he played for everyone, he played a lot here and he was good here. By Dylan. For us we have New Hampshire. talks about catching the ball 68 grabs 708 yards seven touchdowns nine rushing had 15 rushing touchdowns the year before caught a million screens when you look at him there has exceptional hands knows how to set up blocks Sea Sean Lloyd I think he has has a chance to be the first to coming off the backboard he has a good combination of size, speed and can also catch the ball.

He showed that in the Senior Bowl there wasn't a lot of production to catch it in the fall, but he showed that he could catch it there rolling. 446 very well done your running backs coach at USC now the running backs coach of the Chargers your 23 career rushing touchdowns for Georgia Georgia share the rock in the running game it's a crowded field kayin Robinson from Texas is an excellent returner got four return touchdowns a lot of opportunities on offense, but there's the speed seen in the return game 442 Missouri's Cody Trer is one of the best stories in the draft.

He comes from Truman State and led the SEC in rushing. Very well, Monmouth is in the house. Monmouth in the Monmouth house is rolling, oh 446, nice, right, that one down, uh, absolutely, that was also a little question to see what that top speed would look like and he responded emphatically how much Monmouth film are you grinding last. gr I've milled some film of Monmouth, he's a short step, he likes to bounce it a little bit and here we go with uh, we've got Purdue Purdue coming up, we've got F here, oh yeah, they're feeling it in basketball right now too. that big guy been there for like 10 years the way I said that about Ronnie cyy back in the 80's in Syracuse number four, I mean because of the excuse that Tyrone Tracy Jr tries to boil it here for the home fans at the combine 2024 scouting. one little stumble, get going, it's a good time, it can go faster than that heck, one stumble, yeah, take that, Jamie Rich two years ago, Tyron Tracy Jr was a sub 2 200 wide receiver, special teamer at Iowa, actually let a thought slip through his head.

He thought football might not be for me long term, but he made a change, transferred to Purdue, put on 15 PBS and put that RB on the front of his chest, he said watching guys like Jir Gibbs make it at 210 in the NFL and the creativity of the offenses in the league has allowed him to have hope in what he can do at the next level and that family contingency that he has, he is a native of Indianapolis, so you know what they are representing here today, oh, without a doubt, Kimani Pell of Troy. I said he was a mini mini Josh Jacobs with his running style, like me, as I expected, Pat is in the house and that's the fan reaction, there you go, Pat, there he is, he's a big fan favorite here. go let's get Pats to come to the booth oh that'll be fun you may or may not have known about his accreditation for today Michael Wy from Arizona I'm cool with that man he did the right thing he's a he's got a style interesting, interesting race, he'll run a little high and then he'll drop a level and unload the run through the contact he was making the run earlier this week when we saw Monty atin because that was Alabama's Dallas Turner ripped a 44 and Monty He got excited, he thought he blamed me.

I told him, "I'm not in charge of that, they caught you, that's on you, oh man, we don't want people to start having poker faces around here, you know that when you see the defensive lineman running." the four four you're not going to be able to contain yourself I know it's a Wy reaction with a very well made Charles 456 Hi guys inde D I just want to start with these smaller school runners because they're starting to emerge. I talked yesterday about how kids in smaller schools are playing and playing well. This Jaden Sheran from Monmouth, Kamman Videl, who we just saw when we saw him at the Senior Bowl, these guys can flat out compete.

Videl was fantastic playing for Troy and The Last, let's go ahead and get the great Hank Aaron's great nephew out of the way, so when he makes a big long run, that will be your home run, well done and good job, CD jumping because your V It's getting prepared. To run, I'm going to lay down because I think he has a chance to be the fastest. I just want to see what this looks like. I'm going to get out of the way here for Peter because he's been talking about him for a while I want to let him keep talking about it let's watch him run first here's Jaylen R from Tennessee oh we'll start over okay okay okay Rich just make a jumplength just before here is the long jump going 112 is the second longest ever recorded in the combine by a runner the longest Justin fargus in 2003 Huggy Bear that's right, yes sir uh and now he's going to run the 4 this guy is a athletic monster Show, let's see and the way Justin Fargas married a v Nikki Caldwell, the great Tennessee basketball player, married to Justin Fargas, so the vs are getting all the way in, I mean, that's empty the Vault, there you go, the treasure trophy.

Tell us where Reg already did it, okay, let's see what we can do here with Jaylen. Well, he's going to fly. He is so elastic. That was the first note I wrote when I watched it. He just explodes. He's out four, four, four, I think. He may have a better start because he really started rolling once he came out. Look at the numbers that, from Tennessee CRA, they caught the ball a little bit more, but just in terms of an explosive dynamic, you see the verticals there, the similarity to Jaylen. running a little faster there, but uh, the vs did take out some runners over the years.

Jamal Lewis wasn't too bad as a 2K runner and obviously Alvin chra, so here's our second round of the 40 group of runners to see who's going to improve their time rest on their times one of the names CD when you look at the time there the 467 you go oh man that's problematic kyn Williams what he did in the League last year for the Rams he ran a 465 here Karen Williams was a fantasy football waiver wire honey he was dominant and mon Bailey with a 467 in the first race and I better go there go significantly Stacy DJ, you mentioned Cody Shider and the journey he's had and I talked to him this week uh the running back from Missouri. he said he'd been overlooked his whole life, obviously he's from St Louis Missouri and he kept walking after a stop at Truman State, but what's interesting is that in high school he was basically told that Missouri came to see him play, they walked into the building and then They left the building after seeing it, so walking on was just a personal mission to prove them wrong and represent the school he always wanted to go to with Jim Harbaugh watching Blake Corum run and he's staying. his first time so this is what you missed while we were away Isaiah Davis Jack Rabbit improves his time we a couple of guys run a little faster here in the second race that's what it's all about absolutely Ray Davis for true, 453 for him there. and we talked about how he had the same body type as Frank Gore.

What did Frank Gore run? On day 458 they are right in the same ballpark. 472 The first race was the one that surprised me the most. He ran at the same time twice. I thought he played a lot faster than that number, well I guess you can't name those unofficial times, you have to call them. Dear, ah I see what you did, thank you, very well done. I love making word games with French. 453 Bucky Irving, let's see if he improved his time. I just want to see him get under 46, that's a win, so yeah, that's perfect, well he did it.

Washington's Dylan Johnson is about to run as we go live to the Indianapolis quarterbacks and wide receivers once the running backs are done with their drills. I have a host of guests lined up to join us at the booth today as well. It's going to be a fun day, it should be. In fact, it will be. How about I remove the conditional phrase? I guarantee you a fun day. sure guarantee see dylan johnson just get a little faster he's more of a speed when he gets going he gets to that speed and he stays there stepen jones the dallas cowboys mlay and there's jerry hydrating well jerry's in the building the bus is in Indianapolis, what do you think about the Commander's new owner being in a meeting and interviews with the children he apparently fathered?

Look, if I bought myself a nice new toy, I want to play with it too, so, hey, I'm fine with that. literally invested, so Johnson will stick with his first time Jamie erall Rich, we've seen George Holani, Boise State's two-time thousand-yard rusher, run a couple of times Holan's parents are from Tonga, he was born in New Zeeland before family. He moved to California, as I mentioned, in his 5 years at Boise State, his running strength grew, but his father was not familiar with football at that time, he was a rugby and track player, but he knows the value and preparation.

Hanani told me when he was 8 years old. He was the kid who drank Muscle Milk and did 300 sit-ups a day, so he's been preparing for a workout like this since he was virtually eight years old. I love that jaar Jordan, it seems like the moment where everyone is going to beat Gendo didn't run again, I'm just going to stick with it. The second number is a three at the running back position. Stay with him, take him to the 46th floor of the clubhouse, so Jordan will get the first one. Here's Mike McDaniel. Is He going to take us out again?

No, he's showing off his shoes at his place, oh, the fans dug him right there, a warm round of applause, was it him or was it? Can you put McDaniel back, let's see if it was him or the crowd, is he, he's popular, very good, is he? yeah, cute, he's like that little kid at Red Wings games right where they put him in and everyone goes crazy, he's a fan favorite here, he's gotta hold on, keep this start here so he doesn't get whistled at. Dyan Lobby, use it on a bunch of plane sweeps too where's Ravens GM Eric dasta is putting what's that W what's the problem is what he's doing he kinda no, he's texting to someone saying why did you give this guy such a low rating and you're the scout that rings when you're sitting in the stadium you say uh oh do you get those texts as a scout?

No, I mean, look at those conversations, they're usually fun, you know, with guys where you've had heated debates and whether your guy runs well or not, there's usually some good communication for him, a little faster in the second one, by the way, I don't know that Wordle is all over the combine, but the word of the day a couple of days ago was 40, right? It wasn't really to give it away how many guesses it took you three, that's a solid good, I mean, I have the combination on the brain, you know, Peterson, he said he stays in every combination since he's been in the league.

Milton 462 for running backs, he just feels different when that second number is a five. Look at that card on the draft board, it feels a little different. There is Milton 4640 with the first rb21. Ken Robinson is up now for Texas. I'll tell you what. he's paying attention to the rule changes with the return game, you know when you're a guy who specializes in the return game and now there's talk that they could do something to increase your chances, that increases your value, Texas, like We know, he sent a Robinson. from this group to La Liga last year I wonder what it will look like in the second year.

I wonder who will pass him the ball. That's not the question. I have a feeling we'll have a conversation in about an hour. a, it's going to be a wild couple of weeks so far, look what happens, the new league year starts on the 13th, the negotiating window opens on the 11th, that's right around the corner, we'll get a lot of answers soon , yeah, it's going to start to start to clear up a little bit, it stayed low for a long time and then 443 came up, but it's rolling, let's see how the crowd appreciates the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, there you go, that guy wearing his jersey McAfee.

Well, come on, Shane, say hello, no, it's all business, we're just talking about Cody Shraer a minute ago, he, he walks, he scores a touchdown in the spring game and his dad tells Coach Drinkwitz afterwards, this is the best day of his life. and he said, I think there will be better days and, I'm sorry, Charles, when he put up 300 yards in the vs, I think that shot him to the top of the list of the best days of his life and now he's running a combine getting ready to be selected. We at the Ian Rich National Football League have been talking about the wild couple of weeks ahead now.

I got some news about where the Dallas Cowboys stand in free agency. First, Pro Bowl All-Pro Tyron Smith is gone. The tackle has really been a mainstay of the Dallas Cowboys offensive line for the last decade, as I understand it, it's unlikely he'll quit in Dallas at the end of an era. He's going to be an extremely coveted free agent, an everyday guy. The team could obviously use a big name over the next two weeks and then Jerry Jones made headlines yesterday talking about Dak Prescott's contract, of course we've been talking about how he has a $60 million cap hit.

It made sense to make a deal before free agency to soften the cap and give himself some room, but Jerry Jones told reporters last night that they want to address it in the next few days, but I don't know what we'll do there, it's a date, I don't know . the door that they possibly won't, which raises a lot more questions than answers, oh yeah, because they can't franchise tag it either, so it's a walk year, meanwhile we've just seen another 446 run here, the one from Tyrone Tracy Jr. from Indianapolis via Purdue tries to improve his 449 and let the crowd say it, those are two good times, though the Charles Davis guys, I find Tyrone Tracy intriguing and DJ, he's one of those guys that in this time where people remember Jaylen Herd when he was in Tennessee. and he transferred to Baylor because he wanted to play receiver instead of running back and he wanted to extend his career.

This kid went from being a wide receiver to wanting to play running back and transferred from Iowa to Purdue so the carries would add a little weight and a little frame, I think. he's got some juice to him DJ when he's carrying the ball and yeah I heard Cody Shader I got it hey you're swimming against the current when you go from receiver to running back that's a short line of guys doing that he did it and he Vell paid off with a 446, yes, well done to him again. I said mini Josh Jacobs was the first note I wrote incredibly productive, he was in and out of the hole quickly, he had a nasty stiff arm, um, he. doesn't give you much surface area to hit with his body type there 5077, so 57 and 78 2113 pounds, the second to last 40 of a runner here in the combine 202 before is an improved time for Michael Wy, he has a some incredible catches, he's got great hands 123 catches in his five years one of the best one handed catches you'll see this year from Wy and then here's Jaylen Wright let's see I thought he'd be in the top four rich threes I mean that's a big time 444 it's moving I thought I might get into the 4 triples there it goes well just wait and you'll understand 438 so Isaac gendo has company in the neighborhood running a 4340 in the rb30 running group the final run of a 40 at the Combine in 2024 It's a Head Shaker apparently because I wanted faster than that.
