"Duke Johnson's 'snail-crawl' 4.5 forty time" -- Omar Kelly

[NateDogg]

Remind me what round Omar is projected to be drafted in...oh wait

If it was racial draft he would be UDFA with CFL interest

Not to bring up a gator but didn't Haden run a 4.5? He seems to be doing decent in the NFL. The 40 is overrated in that people put to much stock into it. When has a rb ever got the ball and ran straight? I'll say quickness/agility is more important than speed and above all its vision. The best example is Jeff Demps. The guy is probably the fastest player in the NFL but can't stay on a team or get PT.

that's not the issue.

the issue is the hack Omar Kelly attacking a Cane standout purely for his own agenda.

The only relevance that scumbag can attain is by saying dumb **** that bothers the local fan base....

Duke will be a successful player on the next level provided he can stay healthy and lands with the right franchise. That will allow him to be Duke Johnson. Other than needing to learn pass protection better. The guy is a special talent running or catching the ball. He can be a every down back. Regardless what his critics think on this forum.

Emmitt Smith ran a 4.65.... how did his career turn out... not to mention he slways had a fantastic OL

Omar kelly pees sitting down

 

[AsylumGodfather]

Duke to me is more similar to Thurman Thomas than Barry Sanders

 

[accomadus]

What gets me is that Kelly "defends" his antics by saying he loves the U and its history.

Then immediately goes behind everyone's back and blasts everyone and every thing in Coral Gables.

Sounds like a lot of fans, though.

Great article on Emmitt Smith and the scout that sold Dallas on him. BTW, he never ran a 4.5 forty or even close for that matter. His best time 4.7. Barry Sanders did a 4.43 and 4.39 on his pro day. Bottom line, great vision makes a great RB, along with a great OL in front of him, not a 40 time.

Someone remind me what Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, or heck, even Jerry Rice ran.... Duke doesn't need to run a 4.3 40 to be special.

Omar kelly is an uncle tom. His childhood was devoid of friends or any type of enjoyment, as he was constantly picked on for lacking athletic ability. In addition, he was avoided by girls as if he was a leper. Was probably molested. He is nothing more than a sad human being with an inferiority complex that can only draw attention to himself or his 'work' by being a contrarian and/or stirring the pot. He is a lesser talented skip bayless. I cant even believe thats possible, but omar kelly has proven that yes, it is.
