What do you all know about Jackie Battle? Can he block? Catch? Run the ball? His numbers are NUTS!


University of Houston's Big back JACKIE BATTLE has caused a buzz after his stellar Pro Day evaluation (March 23rd). Battle, who came in at 6'2", 238 lbs, ran 4.41 / 4.38 in the 40 (low watch of 4.35), had a 41" vertical, 10'11" standing broad jump, 4.11 short shuttle, 6.51 3-cone drill and did 19 reps of 225 lbs on the bench.

Scouts were shocked after the 40 times as they expected Battle to clock in the mid 4.7's. You can watch Jackie's domination right here!

HEY BRO! WHAT UP?

Wow that's a big back! But what did he do in college? Another workout warrior, Arizona RB Chris Henry, didn't do much in college.

He actually had a lot more production than Chris Henry. He's listed as a FB on NFLDraftCountdown.

Here's there profile:

Here's the video of his Pro Day workout

Here's his NFL.com (Sports XChange) profile.

Battle did some good things in college unlike Henry

last year he was part of the 10-4 Cougars and had 943 yards. 15 TDs with a 5.1 ypc avg

he didnt get a ton of carries so hes fresh

he played well against some quality teams

Miami: 4.8 ypc
Oklohoma State: 4.7 ypc
S. Car: 7.7 ypc

His three cone, short shuttle, and 40 time are all better than the times listed for: Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Brian Leonard, and Tony Hunt (among others) He also put up 19 reps at 225.
Here's his highlight video
Here is video of a long run

im hoping we take a shot at him or Henry..big guys with speed. Even though he put up better #s on agility and speed drills..hes nothing compared to AD and Lynch on the field in terms of quickness/speed but hes a good player imo...powerful runner..breaks tackles..a tough kid .. doesnt have breakaway speed or agility to break peoples ankles but hes got vision and toughness

What's your guess on the round? I'm guessing mid forth. Does that sound about right?

I've been trying to mock the draft out in order to post a forecast for ayjackson, what is happening in my mock is runs on different positions as teams realize the next available players are it before a significant drop off. I find it happening with Safeties which are considered deep, and OT which I thought were pretty decent. Even TE is getting pressure and they almost all run like OL. Maybe it's just my warped imagination. I think Battle is a limited role player, but the demand for RB may cause a run and pull him into Day one.
