Was he serious? I thought it was sarcasm. These days, it's getting harder and harder to tell.

4* RB Rahmir Johnson is N!

This is what I call the EOD. (end of discussion).
No it isn't; I want to know who the other four players are and how fast they can run the 200 meters.
Lets put it this way. He is faster than anyone posting in this thread
For the record I was not basing my opinion on his 40 time. Those can be misleading. I was commenting that on a couple plays he seemed to get caught from behind. Like I said though. I did like that he seemed to move as fast laterally as he did N/S.
Milt Tenopir might be rolling in his grave right now with this statement.
I don't think there is anything easy about developing (great) O-linemen.
Not only do you need the physical gift of a large frame but there is weight training, muscle training, setting and releasing off the line of scrimmage, block technique run, block technique pass, which way to go and who to block off each play in the playbook, and especially synchronizing your play with the other hogs on the O-Line. There are very few O-Linemen out there that are great and stupid. It's both a very physical and very mental position on the field to master. THERE IS NOTHING EASY ABOUT DEVELOPING A GREAT O-LINEMAN.....THE BAD ONES ARE EASY TO DEVELOP INTO BAD ONES.
I was never an O-linemen, but the very limited time I was playing RB (way back when and not at the collegiate level), I really appreciated those guys making a crease for me to punch it in straight ahead. My job was easy. Their job was not.

I would almost bet that not many backs in the NFL are any faster
Which makes me wonder.... who exactly is fast enough?
Bo Jackson?
@N2FL dropping a Nebraska kid in his recruiting rankings?
@ShortSideOption putting an ignorant poster on ignore?

If you were able to sort every post I've made regarding 40 times it becomes pretty easy to know if I was serious. I was hoping his 40 would be in the 4.6s, but 4.54 at least kept him out of the "OMG he runs a 4.4" range. Watching his film and knowing the competition level I'm not sure why anyone would care. 40 times, 100, 200, last leg of relay, quotes from coaches........we are recruiting the fastest athletes on the planet and don't you dare try to claim otherwise. It's only a matter of time before a girlfriend takes to twitter to claim her boyfriend just beat Usain Bolt in a foot race. I just hope we get a few football players along the way to go with our track team.
That track team down in central Florida had a pretty good year.

That may have something to do with the coaching staff developing and exploiting their football skills. There tends to be an obsession over 40 times, Rahmir Johnson is plenty fast to excel at Nebraska while posting a 40 time that is somewhere around a little better than average for his position. Borderline irrelevant.
4.54 if electrically timed...is at the top of the real 40 times for HS players. This 4.4 40 non-sense on every ones recruiting profile is suspect at best.
