Scattebo runs a 4.65

I think Rich has a hundy coming his way (actually I predict a push)

At least it wasn’t as bad as Jerry rice’s 40.

Kid's going in the 3rd at the latest -- and I hope it's to us!

David Montgomery (my comp for him) ran a 4.58 at his Pro Day.

Josh Jacobs ran a 4.65, etc.

Here are the 40 times for the top 25 RBs of all-time from TheHuddle.com:

I'm confused...did people think he was blazing fast, or something?

No, but being both slow and small and not having much wiggle either is typically not a very good combination lol. I just can't see him breaking tackles in the pro's like he did in college. He's a mini me version of Mike Alstott IMO.

There's been a few guys good at breaking tackles but they take lots of physical punishment and burn out quicker. Guys I call hammers: Earl Campbell, 5 really productive years and 5 with much fewer carries. Eddie George 8 productive and 1 mediocre year. Derrick Henry seems to be the energizer bunny, he ran for 1900 yards + in his ninth season.

Yea those guys weren't 5'9 shrimps though...I don't mind having hammers, Derrick Henry was an MVP candidate last year. But you can't be a little dude in the NFL that has a big boy play style.

Well, anybody thinking he is a feature back is fooling themselves, that's for sure. He's complimentary/rotational, at best.

Very much agreed here

Not sure why his draft status is such a big thing. There are a lot of dumb GMs who could draft him earlier than they should. He could then suck, so the draft status is kind of nil. We know there are dumb GMs, I mean some are still courting A A Ron.

Bruh.

Tell me you haven't watched him play without telling me you haven't watched him play.

What's next? Queen Latifah needs weight gainer?

thunderspirit · Sun Mar 30, 2025 10:46 am

Best case scenario, Skattebo is approximately Kareem Hunt (hopefully without the off-field stuff in college and the NFL). More likely, he's closer to James Robinson pre-Achilles injury. That's probably still worth a Day 3 pick.

We're drafting him at #72

What the hell is the deal with Queen Latifah stuff? I don't get it.

Does that all stem from something that went down before I arrived?

In this draft, I don't think anybody will be drafting him at #72, dude. We'll see. He's a good player, so you never know.

He didn't get that many carries in his first 2 or 3 seasons, which has probably contributed to him still going strong into his 30s.

I think this game shows what he is

His oline was outclassed so he got the muddy backfields and tiny lanes he'll see in the NFL. You see him make the best of what's available. I don't think he's special but I think he's an NFL caliber player that deserves the mid-round grades he's got

Z Bear · Mon Mar 31, 2025 9:54 am

Serious question....you put Scattebo on Boise ST and Jeanty on ASU....how much different would their production look?

And I'm hoping the Bears don't draft Skibidyrizz at 72. Or at all.

That's him TORCHING TEXAS though!!! Or not.

You have to respect the natural muscle tone though like he's a 1930s boxer.

Zero percent chance he's on PEDs!

30 carries / 143 yards / 4.8 ypc / 2 TDs
8 receptions / 99 yards / 12.4 ypr
1 passing attempt / 1 completion / 42 passing yards / 1 passing TD

That's a dominant performance against the #3 scoring defense in college football, one who gave up 3.2 yards per carry last season.

Come on counselor, the facts are the facts are the facts! #TorchEmHorns

Dominant still doesn't mean poor 1st half, solid 2nd half.

But you do bring up a fair point....maybe he's reverse Justin Fields and he's a better QB prospect then HB? Might help him in this class
