What about the run vs UVA where he got HAWKED

Also got caught vs UNC this year

I would've like to see Homer house those, but....

UVA - Homer got caught by Bryce Hall, 1st team All-ACC CB. And it still took Hall 60 yards to catch up from behind.
UNC - UNC DB had a good 8 yards on Homer and still barely caught him after 45 yds.

Homer's speed is legit.

At the 2:30 mark. That's a bad look for a guy with "legit" speed
I'm a huge Homer fan and think he's a **** of an athlete, but he lost some speed in 2018.
Let's just call a spade a spade.

He hasn't lost any speed.

At 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, Homer recorded a 4.55 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.03 in the short shuttle and a 37-inch vertical leap to come away with the best SPARQ score.

I think this is a fair and accurate assessment of Travis

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
Weaknesses
  • 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

That's an excellent assessment!

  • Homer can side step, and accelerate fast off one cut. Speed is his game and he finishes runs violently.
  • Pass catching/blocking are above average, and he's excellent on ST.

  • His weakness is he has no wiggle. He can't make sharp cuts at angles. Once he gets moving, he pretty much stays on that straight line. And at 200 lbs. in the NFL, running through dudes instead of eluding them becomes much more difficult.
  • You're right that fumbles are a concern, but at least that's correctable.

Can't take credit for this lol. Got it from NFL.COM
 
Anything under 4.5 is great for Homer. Straight line speed has never been his issue. My one criticism is that he's been an all or nothing guy for the two years he played. He'd have 7 rushes for 9 yards and then break off a 30 yarder before having 4 straight runs for no gain. Fast guy but not shifty.
