2025 NFL Draft - Round 1 Discussion

XL was a 4.39 40 guy. Is that slow now?

Also, Tet didn't run a slow 40. He ran basically the same general 40 time(4.5-4.6) that guys his size usually do(minus the freaks). Evans, Hopkins, London, etc.

combine be damned there is no way you can argue XL is a fast player watching his tape, same with Tet.  They are not fast players.  Mike kaye even made a thing about it last training camp

 

Mike Kaye, a writer for the Charlotte Observer, described Xavier Legette's running style as "awkward" and "like he has pebbles in his shoes". This description suggests that Legette's running form is not as smooth and efficient as some other NFL players, and he appears to be a bit off-balance despite his speed.

Funny enough, I thought to myself when we didn’t take Walker that he was gonna end up in the division and whoop our ass for the next decade… went upstairs to put my kids to bed and came back down to find ATL took him.  Never fails.

XL was able to run by some guys last season and then promptly dropped the ball or didn't track it correctly.

I will say that he definitely doesn't play like a sub-4.4 guy. 

But he is in no way shape or form "slow."

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
    • If BY continues to develop.  XL learns how to catch with his speed. Tet lives up to his hype... THEN Brooks comes back.. dammmmmmmmmmmmmm
