foreboding Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) If this has been posted, sorry about that-- Enjoy - this kid has a little Thurman Thomas in him and he plays faster than his combine, though not terrible @ 4.66 I think, and he plays bigger than he is, he is not at all easy to bring down. His field vision is like old Thurman. Edited April 29, 2019 by foreboding Fixed link 10 3
Kirby Jackson Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 His change of pace is really strong and he finishes. I really liked the pick and think he may be the number 1 in 2020. 3
flmike Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I noticed that too. I watched almost every game Thurman played.
Prickly Pete Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) I was thinking the same about the Thurman comparison. He hasn't shown anything as receiver, but maybe that can be developed. To say he isn't fast enough is ridiculous. he won't be running many sweeps, but his game speed looks pretty ***** good to me. His change of pace is what makes him so elusive, and his vision is verging on Barry Sanders (no, I'm not saying he is as good as Sanders). Edited April 29, 2019 by OJ Tom 2

Yup, his football speed is definitely good.
Prickly Pete Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) I like the way he acts too. No preening after scoring, no "pretending to pee like a dog on the field" (see DK Metcalf), just finds his teammates to celebrate with them. I love that run at 2:13, leaving 3 defenders falling into each other like the 3 Stooges. Edited April 30, 2019 by OJ Tom 1
BuffaloBill Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Josh can help him with his linebacker leaps.... 2
MikeSpeed Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) He may not have top end speed, but he looks like he goes 0-60 in zero seconds. Edited April 30, 2019 by MikeSpeed 2
DCbillsfan Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Singletary was interviewed on NFL Network before the draft. He sounds like a good kid who talked about being a leader. They asked him about catching balls coming out of the backfield. He said he can do it. He wasn't aksed to do it at FAU. They showed highlights of him catching balls out of the backfield during the combine. Coaches asked him to do it and he obliged. He looked pretty good. Edited April 30, 2019 by DCbillsfan 5
TroutDog Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 It looks as though he uses his lack of height, combined with his vision to an advantage over the DL and LB’s. It’s as though they can’t see him and, even if they do, he’s highly elusive and slippery. Seems exciting to watch and I hope that translates to the next level. 2

RememberTheRockpile Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 The Oklahoma game is pretty interesting seeing that Oklahoma destroyed FAU's offensive line. The guy does some amazing things.
SoCal Deek Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 I’ll root for anyone in a Bills uniform. The kid is much thicker than I thought he’d look but against Oklahoma the film looks pretty uninspiring.
PIZ Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 This might be the first highlight video I've watched that didn't have some annoying music blasting in the background. Thanks! 2
Sanners Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Not even close to Thurman. Looks like a 3rd round back, that can make a quick move and cut up the middle. Thurm used to carry people in the middle of the pile, and outrun them.

I saw good acceleration, vision, elusiveness. I was surprised with his willingness to slam it in a hole to take what's there vs bouncing everything outside. 2
