JerseyBills Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) That speed and toughness to tackle with that arm? We might have struck Gold with this kid. Wow!! Edited September 24, 2018 by JerseyBills 1

John from Riverside Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 I saw some detractor's that didnt want to put Josh Allen in Cam Newton's level for this type of stuff They might want to rethink it 1 minute ago, Doc said: I wonder why he only ran a 4.75 40 at the Combine?

Comebackkid Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Figured it out, was trying to scroll from the wrong area.
The Virginian Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 He's also the only quarterback on the list.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 He looked exceptionally fast. The hurdle run he was pretty fast, too. For a 6'5" 245 or whatever he is dude, he's not only agile, but pretty quick and pretty fast. "A good athlete for his size" doesn't come close to describing him. There really is a ton to like about him. 7

I think it's just he is extremely quick , and because he's 6'6 , he's able to reach his top speed extremely quick , so he might max his speed out in 10-15 yards.. On top of that, he runs so physical and is extremely agile for a guy that size. What he did to Barr , considered an elite lb , considered a very fast and athletic lb was amazing. The dive, hurdle and stiff arm displayed his speed , quickness,agility , and just awesome physical running style. Barr had to be shocked that this giant QB can run like that . ???? 4 minutes ago, The Virginian said: He's also the only quarterback on the list. How did he not go # 1? To run AND throw like that is a cheat code. 1

Not going all out? he was tanking so that we could get him. he has secretly been enthralled with the Buffalo Bills for quite some time now. that dive to the pilon was but a warm up for some table shenanigans! 1 2

Warcodered Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 He still had the fastest 40 of the QBs though that's probably because Lamar didn't do it.
Doc Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 Just now, billsfan_34 said: Track speed and football speed much different a player should theoretically be faster on a track than a football field. A 4.75 40-yard translates to 17.2 MPH.

A 4.75 40-yard translates to 17.2 MPH. I wonder what those MPH would be at 10 yard intervals. He seems to accelerate pretty quick too for a tall guy. Usually if they have any speed it's after they get going full speed with the long loping strides.
