How fast is Todd Gurley?

[AvengerRam]

Because he was recovering from his knee injury, Gurley didn’t run a 40 in the Combine or his Pro Day. I his first year, I wasn’t convinced he had all of his speed back, Ashe was caught on some long runs. I figured he was a 4.50 guy, at best. In year 2, he never seemed to have a chance to show his speed.

Last year... different story. He looked fast...really fast. The best example was the screen pass he took to the house against Tennessee. On that play, He showed a gear I didn’t think he had. I’m thinking he may be more of a 4.40 guy.

So...how fast do you think Gurley is?

 

[VeteranRamFan]

He just has to be faster than the guys chasing him!

Other than that, I dunno.

 

[Memento]

I've heard stories at Georgia that said that Gurley actually ran a 4.3 in college, and he was a great track star.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Look at his college tapes and he was somewhere in the 4.3/4.4 range.

Now I would think about 4.45.

NFL has these next gen stats that clock players in mph. In the Tennessee game Gurley hit 21.23 mph and I think we know which play that was.

Puts him in a pretty unique category for his size. More impressive, only Fournette, and one of those was against us. uke:

I think he is fast enough to take us to the Super Bowl!!!!!!

 

[den-the-coach]

Gurley is so fast, he can get into bed before the lights go out and when he runs when it's raining, he doesn't get wet.

He's so fast he's already in 2019.

 

[ReekofRams]

He's so fast that he can slap his own butt.

 

[Alaskan Ram]

He's so fast he propagates through transparent materials.

Oh Gurley is much faster than a 4.5 guy. He and Chris Conley raced each other at Georgia and Todd won. Conley later ran a 4.35 40 at the Combine. Todd could run at least a low 4.4 right now, if not faster. Dude was a legit track star.

Hes an Olympic caliber runner , forget the 40 I'm sure he is one of the top 100m guys in the NFL.

Usually smaller guys do great in the 40 but Todd's size benefits him downhill once he gets going

He is deceptively fast as (at least to these eyes) he does not appear to be moving that fast . . . probably because he is a bit if a long strider in the open field. Yet he finds angles through defenders and accelerates to the point they often cannot even touch him. Keep in mind that he also accomplishes this while encumbered with football padding and will often do these things late in games when he is supposedly tired---a testament to the strength, stamina, and sheer force of will he possesses whenever he especially strives for pay dirt.

 

[Farr Be It]

You guys are delusional. He’s just a hurdler. That skill set has no transferable applications to football!

Yeah. And he’s football fast.

And this too..........but your clip shows the extra gear kicking in better than this one.

We could post that run against the Seahawks just before the half. He blew by everyone on that play.

 

[Angry Ram]

Ask the shitbirds how fast he is...

Wow. That last run against the Whiners was just a couple seasons ago in his rookie year, but just look at the turnover/upgrade of this team. The guys on the field greeting him after that run that I saw: Foles, GRob, Kendrick’s, Barnes, Britt, Tavon, G Reynolds, Harkey, and I believe Stedman. ALL gone. Only Havenstein, I believe was on the field for that play, and is still here.

I’ll take Gurley’s current surrounding crew, thank you.

:rant:“Are you crazy? Foles is the reigning Super Bowl champ!!”

Notice when he gets through the hole how he straightens up and shifts gears to leave everyone behind. He was untouched on that run.
