In shorts, 4.3 range.
In pads, I'd guess at 4.4-4.45. He has breakaway speed.I
Gazooks! Question: Any word that Lane or any other RBs doing the same?
Trent Richardson last year hit the weight room big time and looked like a rhino during the season. If other backs are doing this, we may end up having a Lattimore-Richardson combo somewhere among these backs.
I wish people would stop throwing out high-school 40 times as if they were in any way, shape, or form, accurate.
Guys who run an NFL timed sub-4.4 forty are extremely rare, and unfortunately I doubt Rajion Neal is one of them. I would love to be wrong.
When I was in middle school I played with a running back named brandon davis. ( was a heck of a back for coalfield in hs some of you may have heard of him) and he had a fumbling problem for a few practices straight so our coach gave him a ball to hold onto all through practice and if anyone brought the coach the ball then that player got out of conditioning the next three days and the rbs had to do double conditioning. There were almost fist fights over that ball but nobody ever took it from him and it basically fixed the problem.

The question was asked, an answer was provided with the information available. If you have different information, it would be welcome; if you just feel like whining and moaning, I will disregard your posts accordingly.
Sunday is a big day for the 2012 NFL Combine since it's when the offensive skill positions work out. The 40-yard dash is one measurable in particular that can mean boom or bust for an NFL hopeful.
The running backs posted official 40 times on Sunday, which are all listed below.
No one broke the 4.40 barrier, but Miami's Lamar Miller came closest, hitting that mark on the head with a running back-best 4.40, LaMichael James also helped himself with a 4.45 time -- tied for second-best among running backs.
Maybe Neal is working out wit the OL to become their favorite little buddy, so they will do everything in their power to help their 'lil buddy out come gameday.
Agree. I'd rather have a great line and an average back than the opposite.
Is that right?

As I said before, it's highly unlikely Neal runs a sub-4.4 forty.
