Augie Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 So how fast is this guy? Obviously faster than anyone chasing him today, but I’m curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to change the way you play and hit. He was obviously at a much higher level, but it’s got to be crazy strange for him to have a helmet and pads. Much harder than going the other way. Yeah for sure, and I was dying when he said that. Loved this moment and loved his interview. I am really pulling for him to make the team even though it’s going to be tough, but hopefully at least the PS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has explosive pace and great top end speed. Coming from a rugby background he is clearly an athletic individual and he is extremely tough to bring down. He possesses good hands and a good eye for the ball, and when running he can be very elusive. His rugby highlights look amazing, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Kelly the Dog said: He still would have to go through waivers. It turns out that Wade read the defense before the ball was snapped and knew he was going to take it to the opposite side because they overloaded to (the Bills) left. That's almost more impressive than reading the play as it developed considering this was his first game and carry. He said after the game that is what he was taught by the coaches to look for. Incredible really. That is a good sign watching his rugby highlights it seemed clear he'd be dangerous in space but if he's picking up the system quick that's great.

I watched some recaps of his rugby games. Hes fast and can cut on a pence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 RB is a relatively easy position to learn. Look at all the rookie RB's in recent years that started out great. If this kid is the athlete he looks to be, they'd better keep him because a lot of other teams would be thrilled to pick him up. Rugby offers some very transferable skills to an NFL RB. They need to give him more touches to see what he can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I can easily picture him becoming a sensation. Next season's backfield...Wade and Singletary. That's badass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
