In shorts, 4.3 range.
In pads, I'd guess at 4.4-4.45. He has breakaway speed.I

I think he'd be classified as fast all the time and quick when he gets motivated to be.

We all know that Neal has the most "potential" out of the group. We also know that there is definite concern about ball security. I really hope that all Neal needed was a good running back coach to teach proper technique and we can see him have a coming out party!

I heard he was carrying a football everywhere with him (second-hand knowledge alert!), so if true it sounds like they've made it a point of emphasis for him.

Tennessee's best rushing year in recent memory featured two 1000 yd rushers who both brought different skills to the table. Let's hope we have that this year.

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.

As far negavols and their tails, I mean tales, you know how it is with slimy things.
I know they can pop up. I just recall a few posters saying he was gone after DD mentioned his work ethic and fumbling. Another one of those threads full of great info from solid posters. Same ones as the unc bs.

Im not sure many have ever question his athletic ability. Not sure Im ready to expect Jamal Lewis to walk out against NC St. tho.

Just put one of them dog shock collars on him. Fumble, hit the button. He'll learn.

The measurables on this guy have never really been in question. Then again there's a long and rich history of "workout warriars" that never seemed to be able to translate those measurables onto the field well.

Let's hope RN manages to have the production match the potential this season.

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.

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.
Let's pump the breaks a little scooter.

These r not high school #'s. These times were done last summer for the team and they were laser timed.
