He did say he was running 4.2 40's in practice. [Reply]
LRZ is a great athlete in a straight line, but people are going to need to be patient and maybe keep expectations low. As a returner I could absolutely see him working well and early. He's good under a high ball in rugby so rhe skillset fits.
As a RB he's not built to block and obviously has no experience. I think it'll be a tough ask. I honestly think he might have more of a chance as a WR with a limited route tree and see how it goes. Again, not sure he has the agility and lateral quickness but if you're just asking him to go...it'll work imo. [Reply]

It's 100% true apparently

That doesn’t mean he’s faster than Achane. 24.2 would be faster than any speed ever recorded by NextGen in the NFL, even faster than any time Tyreek has posted.
Surely you don’t believe LRZ is the fastest player in the league..? [Reply]

What makes you think this?

I know it's faster than anyone in the NFL has ran. Now, personally I don't know how much I trust those MPH readings because they do seem wild.
But on the one hand you have "this can't be true" and on the other hand you have all this evidence of it being true.
If he is NOT the fastest guy in the NFL, he is damn close. And clearly way faster than his 40 time which was a debacle apparently.
We have three guys who can run sub 4.3 40s. [Reply]

Meant to respond to this earlier.
You are so right. He looks like a 7th grader. If he had played football his whole life that would have been coached out of him. Take decisive, efficient cuts.
The good news is that can be learned, even if it takes a couple years. Probably part of why Mahomes and Reid say things like he's come really far but has a long way to go still.
But the promise of his size, speed and ability to catch makes me think you keep him around and see what happens. [Reply]
