At the combine. Seems like he had an off day cause he is way faster than that. This just goes to show you that its not all about combine results. You have to watch the film, cause if you would have watched Jeremy Hills film at LSU you would have seen that all he did was break big runs and rarely, if ever, got caught from behind. really rare blend of size and speed.

He was the 2nd rb taken in the draft.

People act like 4.6 is slow for a rb. What do you think Marshawn Lynch's current 40 time is?

He's the slowest fast guy I've seen

He looks like he's running in slow motion but he runs by everyone

Anybody who watched Hill at LSU knew he was faster than a 4.6 anything. He also had one of the fastest 10 yard splits at the RB position, which shows you his explosion.

true, but Bishop Sankey got drafted before him because he ran a better 40 time. That is laughable.

I live in Nashville and the city almost burned the GM's house down. I don't know how it wasn't obvious Hill was special

well, that's what the Titans do. I try to still care about them but they make it really difficult.

It would have depended on the team looking to go rb. The titans had him as the top back and maybe you're right that a lot of people did because of his speed. My point is that that wasn't a major concern because almost every team had Hill projected as a top 3 rb.

It's fun as hell to see Hill on the Bengals. Bernard averages like 3 ypc for his short career so Hill just needed the rock enough to show he could be the starter.

Cincy had enough sense to see this. Icant believe the other teams didnt draft him sooner. The RB position is so undervalued right now. Cincy had other needs and still took Hill. The 3rd RB taken, btw.

football on-field real speed and acceleration are what matters

The 2nd rb taken, btw. Sankey at 54 and Hill at 55.

His 40 times are shockingly bad for his elite breakaway speed. And yes he does have elite breakaway speed, he's the only RB besides Trindon Holliday and Keiland Williams who could just run away from LBs and even DBs.
