Arian Foster got 2nd round projection

[BigPapaVol]

I would almost bet that a healthy Foster would run at least between a 4.45 and a 4.5 in the 40.

I would almost take the other side of that bet.

 

[justingroves]

there are more big, hard to tackle guys out there than there are burners. AF will be fine in the NFL.

Ruben Droughns and Mike Anderson come to mind

 

[k-sny-vol]

I would almost take the other side of that bet

I would too..
if Jayson Swain ran a 4.67.. then AF had to run at least a 4.7.. because he's definately slower than Swain.. and if Hardesty runs a 4.5.. then that would make sense that AF runs around a 4.7, because Hardesty is way faster than arian..

5 sec 40's wont get you very far in the League

Id doubt hes even that fast! I like Foster but I think hes the slowest back in UT history.

Now you are just being silly.

Rex, I'm as surprised as anyone with Arian's projection. I wish him the best.

Freak, when you deal with issues as serious as I deal with on a daily basis, sometimes you jut have to be silly. I wish him the best as well, but I dont think he's all the way gone just yet. I always want a Vol to succeed.

unless he's a coach

Understood, I'm with you Rex.

I'm not sure he's all the way gone but I think we all agree that if he truly is a second round pick, he should jump at the opportunity.

What in the heck were those NFL scouts able to see after his junior year that we were not able to see?

A great combo of decent size and great speed.

They saw the terrible team he played on which many of us refused to accept and instead blamed Foster for his struggles

Foster will never start in the NFL........he's way to slow and fumbles to much.....he'd be a fool to leave..... he'd prolly stay if Troop was still here.

.

Dooley's not the answer even if we give him ten years. Let's give our AD, who has been at big time football programs, a chance to get a real football coach. Not this loser. Can you say anything about Dooley other than he's a proven loser?

Foster showed flashes of greatness that I overlooked and focused on the negatives...has Dooley showed us any positives whatsoever? Any signs that he even knows what he's doing?

Was this about Arian....Arian Foster?

a wise man might take a wait and see attitude when something like this is brought up

you're right, the NFL loves slow backs

You can't begin to comprehend Foster's awesomeness until he has either

A.) been on your fantasy team or

B.) been on the team you are playing against

That people that coach football and are around football know a whole lot more than people who sit on their couch and think it is so simple.

Could it be possible that you are doing the same again?
Foster is 20/20 hindsight

Dooley has done a good job recruiting thus far
He came so close to beating LSU last year
He beat North Carolina the first time
Wilcox has done a pretty good job IMO (good hire)
When fully healthy had an excellent passing attack going
We were in the UGA game until the end
We still have a chance at a bowl game this year

solid post^ was thinking the same thing

Well done. That's a lot of crow!

Arian has many other skills that make him who he is. Below are his combine results, I don't consider his results showing speed but quickness.
