Just destroyed his draft stock. And marshawn Loyd is a pound lighter and 4 inches smaller and ran a 4.46

He'll be fine. Probably goes from a Day 2 pick to Rounds 3-4, but teams aren't going to ignore his production just because his 40 time wasn't great.

He also will have an opportunity to improve the time at ND's pro day.

Agree… his weakness is exposed by this time … really good rb but lacking nfl agility

I really thought he’s run in the low 4.5s

Can he be a good nfl rb, or course. But this puts him way behind and way more of a risk. It’s not normal to be that slow to get going at rb (we know he has good top end speed) and be really good in the nfl.

Hade 3rd best broad jump though.... Dudes explosive and powerful.... Be real here he's not running away from dudes in the league. Just needs to get the pads North and South
He can actually run away from lb, he just takes too long to get going for nfl unless he’s on elite offense with top oline

I’d want him all day on my team but I’m not using a top 4 round pick unless he improves time

I love Estime but I’ve never seen as being a good NFL RB. For his size I really don’t think he hit holes well and was too tippy toe at the LOS.

Running backs are worth pennies in the draft unless its a God-like prospect and you are anticipating making a run at the Super Bowl in the next few years

The NFL game has changed and running backs aren’t drafted that high anymore. The Chiefs just won with a 7th rounder.

Exactly, and that time removes him from that

I love estime, but that time would concern me since he struggles at times getting outside tackles

Jerome Bettis best 40 time was 4.7
And there’s 1.2B other people that could run a 4.7 and didn’t become a good/great nfl RB

I think estime is unique, but I’m incredibly shocked his 40 was that bad. It absolutely should make any team really interested in him re evaluate him. I hate saying it, but 4.7 is an awful time.

I mean. Idk why he ran it.

For reference Sam Hartman ran a 4.8. Running a 4.7 as a RB just isn’t an awesome look, even if you’re a bruiser.

I still think Estime massively succeeds in the NFL, but this will probably make most teams doubt him a bit.

NFL teams don’t give a shit about his 40 time, his game isn’t built for speed. He may have hurt his draft stock a little bit but the team that drafts him is most certainly drafting him for his strength and size in the short yard red zone. I’d be stunned if he doesn’t have atleast a decent NFL career

Except he’s first round with his abilities if he’s sub 4.5
