Guess what powerful running back managed only 18 reps at a previous combine?
I'm guessing Ronnie B. or Ricky. Doesn't really matter though, running the ball requires different areas of body strength. Lower body is more important for an RB or MLB. For an OLB he needs to have some upper body strength to be effective in the NFL.LIQUID24 said:Guess what powerful running back managed only 18 reps at a previous combine?

SpeedRush99 said:I'm not as high on Greenway as most. I've only seen him play about 3 times and he wasn't a major factor. Especially in their bowl game, you'd expect the star player to shine in the big game but he was basically non-existent against Florida, had maybe 2 tackles tops. While his teammate Abdul Hodge outshined him greatly breaking the Outback Bowl record for tackles.
Yeah it was Ronnie Brown. Anyway, Greenway has always been a little more finesse than he is physical, kinda like Derrick Johnson of KC. It's probably his main weakness. So I'm not sure why anyone would be all that surprised by his somewhat low reps. Still, I don't think it's a dealbreaker.Dolfan5000 said:I'm guessing Ronnie B. or Ricky.

It just doesn't make sense to me how someone could be characterized as a "high motor" guy and be a finesse player. Well, either way, don't want him. I'd much rather get Ryans or a safety like Roman Harper.LIQUID24 said:Yeah it was Ronnie Brown.

ChambersWI said:40 times and bench press are important, but are alsothe most overrated things in scouting. Sure if you're a 6'4 WR with 4.4 speed (like local product Marques Colston) you'll help yourself a lot. As will Mike Kudla who benched 225 45 times.
At the same time, Kudla isn't the greatest player in the world nor is Colston.
Of course, this is the same reason Derrick Johnson fell so far last year. He and Greenway both have a lot of skill, but they can't take on blocks.
