I'd like to see us start using laser timing at Greentree.

Just got complemented in the running drill for looking fluid
I think Homer is one of those dudes that accelerates to another gear when the pads come on
He looked faster than 4.46 on that VT run

He's way faster after that cut and he has to beat a linebacker to break the long run. He has to be on the right team but he can be a steal

Don't know if it's gonna get any better any time soon.
Heard Trevon Hill is bringing that VT stopwatch with him to The U lol.

Agree but he will make a team based on his ST ability as well.

Still one of the more bizarre runs I've seen.

His 2 40s were 4.49 and 4.54 but they were unofficial times. 4.46 is his official time.

Travis didn't surprise me honestly. I think that UVA run was an anomaly
SN: Jordan Scarlett ran a 4.4? That is surprising

I think this is a fair and accurate assessment of Travis
Strengths
Strengths
- Has experience offset and from I-formation
- Runs with pace and conviction
- Good lateral agility for smooth bounce-outs
- Bob-and-weave footwork to navigate traffic
- Able to make the late, sudden cuts to slip tackler
- Good speed and power to turn and finish as outside runner
- Above-average contact balance
- Doesn't slow into contact and finds ways to resist tackles and fall forward
- One of the better pass protectors in this draft
- Steps up and steps into contact giving blitzers a taste
- Fumble in spring game foreshadowed fumbles in-season
- Fumbled four times at clip of once every 42 carries
- Leaves yards on the field
- Field vision appears filtered through a straw
- Misses back-side one-cut opportunities too often
- Inconsistent in setting up tacklers
- Quick to duck head and bull forward when he has no clear point of entry
- Takes on tackler in the hole rather than eluding him
