hey buddy just saying it would be his best position IMO and the one that would have given him his best shot at a long and successfull NFL career.

I agree he and Bush should have been CBs, they probably would have been Dion Sanders type NFL players. If Bush is too small for the NFL Joe won't have a chance because he's not as fast as Bush. Don't get me wrong Bush is good at what he does but I don't think he will last long with that type of roll.

it's a good thing that most football players usually don't have to run a 100yds that often. i'd take the 40 time anyday

The best way to time it would be a 3 to 5 yard dash for o-line, 10 yard for d-line and 20 for everyone else. How often do these guys really run 40 yards? That they do a 40 yard dash is just stupid.

When did sfp bring the moronathon to the recruiting board? His posts on this board are pretty much always way off base. He should stay on the rant with the rest of the tards. His football iq isn't any higher than the roughneck with wal-mart toonces tee that wants Miles fired and thinks j lee is transferring to follow Peveto.

Someone obviously thinks Jonathan has a shot to be better than Joe:

• While there certainly is room for debate, many of the area high school coaches believe that athlete Jonathan McKnight (River Ridge, La./John Curtis) could actually end up being better than his older brother, USC running back Joe McKnight. We often hear this with regards to younger siblings, so it remains to be seen, but that was the scuttlebutt at the combine Saturday. McKnight led his team to a state championship on Friday night.

I don't know anything about Louisiana high school football so I don't have an opinion either way. I just thought it was interesting that this was posted about the same time as this thread.

Yeah, but that's not because X. Carter wasn't fast.

40 times measure football speed and do it pretty accurately (although not perfectly). Speed is very important. I can't imagine that you would argue with that.

Showing an example where the faster guy wasn't the best doesn't really show anything.

there are a bunch of tards in this world also, cause one said that don't mean shite. If Jonathon's last name wasn't McKnight, no one would be talking about him as posibly being one of the top players in the state next year. Not at this point anyway, however no one knows what he will develop into.

not really true, Usain Bolt 6'5" prospect out of Jamaca runs a 9.69 100m which translates into a pretty fast 40 time. Better prospect than either of the McKnights IMO. Also would smoke x-man, holiday or joe.
