I think he can be a pretty good player. He seems to lack a bit of speed to have the chance to become elite but otherwise he looks good.

Huh? He's faster than Kareem and reports have suggested that he ran 4'47 at his pro day which is the same as Zeke and faster than Gordan, Bell, Michel, Hunt, Kamara etc. So he's quick enough for sure and he claims he's even faster now after dropping a few pounds since college .

Not only that the 40 time is misleading because his 20 time was elite. In my opinion that's all that matters. He's clearly faster than Hunt. He's going to get all the short yardage plays that the past five years of scat backs got but has the strength to break tackles too.

I completely agree. I feel like you can find undervalued guys just by drafting players with bad 40's but really good 20's who have showed they are agile as well. Seems like this is what Darwin is, which is why I'm a big fan of him.
