Nkemdiche is faster and more agile., and has the ability to play 3 different positions. Goldman will be a tackle IMO.

I've seen where some say Robert is a once in a generation type player and has been compared to Julius Peppers. Goldman is a very good player but Robert is in a class by himself.

The fact that Robert was his team's go-to runningback in the playoffs just shows you his athleticism. Big, strong, and very fast.

Most sites said if RN was in the 2012 class he would be the #1 player hands down.

Robert or foster would be rated #1 in the current class.

Someone was asking how fast he was.

He is large, yet agile. His explosiveness is off the charts. And, get this: According to his coach, he recently recorded a 40-yard-dash time of 4.56 seconds, something you'd expect from a receiver, not a lineman. Then again, he was also his team's leading rusher when it won the Class AAAAA state title.

Nice video to.

its a huge bonus that his HS coach is a former Bama player, Mickey Conn.

If true this is amazing but a 4.56 seems insane for someone that big even with Nkemdiche's talent. Keep in mind that Mark Ingram ran a similar time and might have even run slower than that at the NFL combine.

Awesome!! :cool2:

How does he compare to Jadaveon Clowney? Hearing a lot of the same comparisons.

Very similar IMHO, although Nkemdiche will likely be 10-15 lbs bigger heading into college than Clowney was. He is a rare physical specimen there's no doubt about that.

Wow. This guy sounds like he'd be a beast in our system. Is he a Jack or SDE in our system.

It's definitely possible. Former Florida Gator & NFL All-Pro Defensive End Javon Kearse ran a 4.43 at his pro-day.

Good Read

I could easily see him playing either, although if he continues to grow think Dareus only faster and more athletic. Definitely food for thought.

I really hope we can land this guy! I see an extremely talented defense in our future...as if we don't already have a talented defense.
