At the NFL Combine, T.J. Yeldon talked about three injuries that slowed his final season at Alabama.

What ya think...healthy, no pads, he's hitting 4.5 on his best day?

I think he's 4.4-4.5 guy. He's deceivingly fast and is quicker than most. His lateral movement is amazing. Put me down between 4.4-4.5, healthy.

I'm curious to see where he goes in the draft. I think that kid from here in Plano (played in Frisco) - Jay Ajayi outta Boise State will go before Yeldon.

I'll go with a 4.45 for Yeldon's 40.

4.48-4.59

Amari put up a 4.43...can't see TJ getting there.

Amari went 4.42 on his second run.

 

[BamaFan334]

Man, thought Coop would easily hit 4.3 something. I bet his initial burst for ten yards was great. I'd like to see the breakdown in ten yard increments.

4.58 follows the 4.59 for Blake.

4.61 for Yeldon

On Yeldon being only 60%, all the more reason why we should have run D. Henry way more in the OSU game! :flaming:

He still averaged five yards a carry, so you need to say we should have simply ran the ball more in general. Henry averaged over seven yards a carry, so between them we can say they should have been fed more.

Henry had (or has) a tendency to run stronger as the game goes on. When he gets 3 or 4 unrestricted strides, usually running to the outside in, say, the 4th quarter, he just about can't be stopped. Along with nearly every other Bama fan, I had an issue with not using Henry to score a touchdown when we had the ball on the OSU 22 yard line (or something close to that) and we only needed six to go ahead.
