Derrick Looked nice especially when he lowers those shoulders.

I feel bad for Hack he has no line what so ever.

Green didn't look like he had 4.3 speed to me. Looked like a power back. He tried to get the corner a few times but never turned it. Like the back a lot but didn't see the speed I expected

Where did you see 4.3 speed? He is my favorite back in this class but not because of speed. I think he is in the sub 4.5 range.

I would take this kid over every back in the class, including Henry. Special talent.

He'll be another one of these kids with "4.3 speed" coming out of high school that runs a 4.67 in the combine. These darn S&C programs are just killing all these kids' speed!

I agree use to if these kids ran a 4.4 in the past they were blazing fast. Now there all sub 4.4 players and when they get to college they seem to slow down big time.

OP has him listed as 4.37. Rivals has him at 4.4. Didn't get to see him play though.

He's quicker than he is fast, but he's not slow. He also seems to love contact and when you can run over guys like he does that's a very good trait to have.

In the first post of this thread. He looked incredibly powerful, but more like 4.5 range or so in speed.

He may like it at this level, but it may be a little different when he gets to the next level.... Hopefully he will continue to play that way though....

Let's not put too much emphasis on 40 times---it's one component. Burst, elusiveness, quickness, power and vision are key (abilities) as well. Green has the whole pkg.

If he ends up here I feel like Graham wouldn't let him run easy. The best backs aren't always the biggest/fastest but they run hard every play an just keep their legs churning.

last week and Green did NOTHING! You know why...he was playing against some good competition. FUMA is a private school here in VA and they are BADDDD. You guys think what you want but last week vs. Salem he was bottled and did nothing and the Herm was shut out!

We're familiar with your thoughts on green and that he is vastly inferior to mizzell. We think he may turn out to be a good back. Let us be with all the hate on him. I hope they both succeed , can you honestly say that?

I hope they both do well but in no way is the kid as good as #1 IN THE NATION! You guys act like when someone gives their opinion they are hating or they wish someone to fail when thats not the case. You get all pissed when someone comes on here and doesnt agree with yalls assessment of a player. The kid is good but you guys havent seen him against good comp. The district his team plays in is cupcake and when it comes playoff time teams stuff him. FUMA is Horrible just like every team they play.

Stating an opinion doesn't have to mean go on a year long bash fest on another kid. It's ok for you to think someone is better but it doesn't mean you have to do it this way
