Hope you're right, ponyscott

Hope for his future and that of his family that some cash comes his way...

[PonyPride]

By comparison, former Washington Redskins star Darrell Green ran a 4.43 .... on HIS 50TH BIRTHDAY.

Hope you're right, ponyscott

Bump....4.47 was what he did on his second run.

[SMUguy]

Ran a 4.56 on his first run, didn't he?

[PoconoPony]

He ran a 4.56 at the combine on Sunday. This is fairly commensurate with most of the 40s that have been attributed to him lately including this Sporting News article. Problem I see is that most of the smaller RBs in his size and weight range were much faster and the real big backs weighing between 230 - 245 were in the 4.4/6 range. I did not see any of his other stats.

[ALEX LIFESON]

On his second run he had a 4.47

On his second run he had a 4.47

Thats the one that counts...many of them run a worse time on the second run. It was good he improved.

Prospect profile: Shawnbrey McNeal, RB, SMU
Article By Unknown on 14th February, 2010

Sporting News' Pro Football War Room has hundreds of player evaluations in preparation for the 2010 NFL draft. Here is a capsule look at prospect Shawnbrey McNeal: NFL position: RB Height: 5-10 Weight: 190 40 time: 4.55 Current projection: Fourth-round pick Strengths: Shows excellent instincts, cutback vision and elusiveness, especially in the open field. Has outstanding speed, quickness, lateral agility, explosiveness, acceleration and gear change. Has soft hands and runs excellent routes out of the backfield and as a slot receiver. Adjusts well to the ball in the air and runs well after the catch. Has the skills to be a quality return man. Weaknesses: Has an undersized frame with limited potential to develop into an every-down NFL running back. Played in a run-and-shoot college offense with a one-back formation. Has merely above-average strength on contact. Is a marginal pass blocker due to his lack of size, strength and effort. Had only one productive season in college. Has limited experience as a return man. Bottom line: McNeal was SMU's starting running back for one year after transferring from Miami, where he had two undistinguished seasons. He is a strong third-down back prospect who ideally will serve in a "Reggie Bush" role. He deserves fourth-round consideration by a team like the Eagles, whose offense utilizes running backs in the passing game more than most teams. For more than 200 player scouting reports from Russ Lande and his team of former NFL scouts -- plus updated mock draft, Super 99 rankings and more -- go to warroom.sportingnews.com.

Wish him the highest pick possible with whatever team, but please -- not the EGALS.

As a slot receiver? Where did they get that? From the Hawaii Bowl?

... I'll say McNeal runs about a 4.55 at the Combine.

.....no way he is only a 4.55....he is a 4.4 at least.

4.56 is the official time

Sorry that was unofficial after the first run..he ran a 4.47 and that will over ride. Thats why they run two. Why would you question this as that was what he ran..a 4.47? NO point.

[White Helmet]

Official after the second run still says 4.56
