    how many touchdowns does he have so far? IF he has that kind of speed, then a high second could be his spot. if he keeps on at this pace though, i would have to say late first but, he has to have a very good season/combine.

    I bet he runs in the 4.45 range, I heard he ran like a 4.42 or something last year (not a 4.35), but don't think he runs that well. But if he does run a 4.35 he is a first round pick for sure.

    I know they tend to make an issue out of 40 times, But anyone that watches Addai run can see he has that gift of an extra gear that few athletes posses. I do think he runs the 4.4 range, but who knows.

    And by the way, Addai is officially leading the SEC in rushing with 107 ypg.

    Good news about Addai! He's been a great running back for us. If he stays healthy, he could go as early as early second and as late as the middle of the third round, IMO.

    I was just telling me friend at the game that even though Addai doesn't really look like he's going that fast he always seems to get the corner on anyone.

    "Ditto" I think you are right on the money Red.

    Does anyone know if Addai is the number one rusher in the SEC? If so, please provide a link.

    yeah it was 4.35. we were discussing this the other day when stupid ott said addai doesnt look fast and said it must be wrong. i thought the exact opposite.

    umm ok, he doesnt look fast.


    id guess early second rd. hes kinda like a warrick dunn/ roger craig combo. i like how the experts thought dunn could never carry the load like he does. nor for so long. you cant measure heart i suppose and addai has it as well as great skill.

    his pass catching ability will make him a gem to any team who throws to their backs often.

    Don't get me confused with the otter I always thought he was pretty fast but 4.35 is blazing fast.

    Dunn has done much much better than many expected just like many others the experts missed on....Montana, Rice....the list goes on and on.

    He is also a pretty good blocker on passing downs, but who knows with the way the combine plays such a big part these days the draft is sometimes crazy.
