Is Neal as fast as Todd Gurley

[#1DicksonVolFan]

so it seems like everyone agrees neal is faster but a pansy and gurley is an animal.

Rajion Neal is to Todd Gurley as Jamie Harper is to Adrian Peterson.

I posted their times recorded by NFL scouts and you still have doubts.. Can we say morons! I'm starting to believe we have the dumbest fan base on the planet. Can you people not read?

Didn't know we were not supposed to stop talking after your post. 'Scuse us for having a discussion on a message board

Neal does not have break away speed, that I have seen. He runs very stiff and has an incredibly short stride. Not a natural runner by any means.

Same BS was said about Arian Foster, while he was here. Lots of hating coming from fans like you. Doesn't have blazing speed....neither did Eddie George. Shows what your opinion is worth.

I'm pretty sure that it was Gurley that was a big time sprinter in track in HS. Dude is pretty fast.

well even 4.5 is still pretty damn fast. If a guy with the size and power of Gurley is running under 4.4, he's nearing the top of greatest athletes of our generation.

If he really is under 4.4 (I need to see the hundredths digit posted by Brick by Brick, cuz no way it rounds down to a 4.30), he sure doesn't look like it on tape. He looks pretty quick and decently fast on tape, but under 4.4 is lightning. Neal is lightning. Just not half the RB that Gurley is.

Then again I'm not looking up numbers and everything here, just going off what I see.

Not sure what he would officially run the 40 in bc 40 times can vary so much. But here are some of his high school track times:

[VOODOOVOL]

He has been measured at 4.3

He's definitely taller than that.

 

[VOLinAL]

Gurley looks faster.

Don't know and don't care..
F... gurley F... GA
Neal is better. why???
Cause he wears orange.

 

[gnm53108]

Gurley is damn good, I don't disrespect him at all. Having said that, I'd like to think our D will do significantly better against him this year than last.

Amen.

This!

With a name like Gurley, dude had to tear it up on the football field.

 

[ManningBerry#1]

I was about to blast you for even asking the question. But no joke, they have similar 40 times. I don't know what to believe anymore.... MASS HYTERIA... DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER

Meow that's rough

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Did you watch the two videos? Derp?

I have watched their careers, to this point.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Neal probably beats him in a foot race from point A to point B, but because Gurley hits the holes alot faster, has better vision and is more elusive he probably looks and is faster on the field. Definitely would rather have a RB like Gurley.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Easily Gurley.

Will Neal be a high draft pick in April ?

 

[YankeeVol]

Simple. No.

Neal might be faster on the track, but on the football field, no. He runs fastest when he's running out of bounds. I like Neal. He's hung in, and I hope he goes over 1000 yds and gets drafted. He's looking better this year, but he's not up there with Gurley and Marshall. Or Chuck Webb. Not many are.

 

[CMcEver]

I timed 30 yard segments between both, both ran about 3.3 seconds at top speed for 30 yards, almost exactly the same time.

 

[YorkVol]

Neal has small feet.

Two links below. Simple question. Is our RB as fast as Georgia's in open space. Your thoughts?

It appears (I'm not a expert) that Gurley runs with a attitude or mindset that it's going to take more then just one or two guys to get me down. It seems like Neal gets tripped up a lot. Not bashing Neal, but I do think Gurley is better back.

Cool. Way to stay objective. Worley is also better than Murray, McCarron, and Manziel combined, right? Don't get me wrong I'm as big of a Vols fan as they come and a realistic homer (if there is such a thing) as well. But I do have the capacity to discuss how good another teams players are objectively as well.

 

[BeecherVol]

I think Neal is just as fast but plays slower.

And less physical.
