Very solid time for a RB, but that seemed about right. Rodney Adams is the one I want to see tomorrow.

The way some on here hype Adams time I sure hope he wears Adidas tomorrow so that he can win a private island. I expect him to be right around Mack be it high 4.4 to low 4.5.

Should have placed some UCF DB's in front of Mack during his 40. I bet he would have run it faster. :GoBulls:

Right where I thought he would be. Confirming his film speed will definitely help his draft stock

Cook 4.5, Fornette 4.51, Elliot (2016) 4.47. I'd say pushing round 2.

Right now he's tied for 9th best RB. The great McCaffrey ran 4.49. Check out nfl.com/combine

OVERVIEW

It was a major recruiting coup for USF to get the All-Florida star running back and safety to sign in Tampa. He hasn't let them down, becoming the school's all-time leading rusher and earning first-team All-American Athletic Conference nods in each of his three seasons with the Bulls. Mack led the AAC in rushing as a freshman (202-1,041, nine touchdowns) and sophomore (210-1,381, eight TDs). He finished fifth in the conference in 2016, but had only 174 carries for 1,187 yards and scored 15 times on the ground. Mack also had 63 catches for 485 yards and a score during his career while averaging over 100 rushing yards per game over his three seasons.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

 Looks like he has ball bearings in his hips. Able to swivel in multiple directions. Can tilt and slalom around defenders on the second and third level and is able to string moves together. Has slippery feet and is hard to pin down when bouncing laterally. Runs with knee bend and his pad level is low at contact. Explosive burst carries him into his getaway gear. Able to run away from tacklers. Six of his fifteen touchdowns this year went for 43-plus yards. Always plays fast. Contain buster to the outside. Finds ways to slither out of tackles. Hands showed improvement as pass catcher.

WEAKNESSES

 Runs with inconsistent power through contact. Will need to accelerate through contact on next level. Serial run bouncer. Too willing to make wild bounces to the furthest reaches of the perimeter if interior lanes are gummed up. Lacks a committed approach between the tackles. Feet start dancing if he doesn't see an early point of entry. On jet sweeps, he rarely looked to cut it downhill in space and defaulted to the wide track. Has a very poor fumble rate over this three years and has put the ball on the ground twelve times. Ducks head into traffic to finish rather than keeping eyes scanning.

NFL COMPARISON

 Denard Robinson

BOTTOM LINE

 Scat back with decent size and blazing getaway speed. Mack has plenty of wiggle to bounce from run lane to run lane and make tacklers miss, but he has a penchant for looking to break runs way outside when the interior becomes too trafficked and he won't be able to get away with that against NFL speed. Mack is a complementary runner who can hit big runs against defenses who have been worn down, but he needs to be matched with the right scheme in order to unlock his big-play potential. -Lance Zierlein

Definitely a fair analysis.  I'd put him in the 4th round or later due to the depth at the position.
