So tell us a bit 'bout this dude, Ras.

Is he fast? Personally, that's all I care about cos I still play Madden even though I'm, alas, in my early 30's. Fast RBs are awesome on Madden.

[smuggler]

He ran a 4.38 at his pro day. Safe to say he's pretty fast.

Yes! Just popped in Madden 17 and found that Pressley's current speed rating with the Vikes is 92, which is faster than Lacy's 87 and Starks' super slow 85. J-Press also has 92 agility, 95 acceleration. But 49 catching? WTF?

I ain't embarrassed to say I still play Madden, although I only play about 2-4 hours a week now; not all day like I used to do in my no-life youth. I bet Nutz still play Tecmo Bowl.

Btw, yo Ted, while you're going through the Vikes' "trash", why not sign German rookie sensation Moritz Boehringer? Imagine Boehringer and Janis as gunners on punts.

Yep. He's fast.

I think both Davis and Dorleant go to IR. Goode and Pressley now on the team, although our 4th RB could be cut.

Pressley looks like he could be the change of pace back a lot of us have been clamoring for.

They decided to have their #3 RB be a scat back instead of a pile of scat.

Very Sharp, I'll bet you made that up ! U Funny !

The UDFA exchange. He looks intriguing. Great speed. Great stiff arm.

This Packers team is significantly faster everywhere on the field, up and down the roster, all three phases.

And wasn't that one of the goals this offseason?

They accomplished it.

Jhurell Pressley
School: New Mexico
Position: RB
Positive: Rotational ball carrier who posted a career-best 1083 rushing yards and 12 TDs as a junior. Senior totals included 907 yards on the ground with 11 TDs. Well-built ball carrier who consistently picks up big yardage from the line of scrimmage. Displays the agility and speed necessary to turn the corner, fast in both a straight line as well as laterally and has a terrific burst. Bounces around piles or avoids defenders, can turn it on in a single step and beat opponents into the open field. Quick footed, slips tackles or makes opponents miss altogether. Gets a lot of momentum going and falls forward when tackled.
Negative: At times does too much East/West running. Poor pass catcher out of the backfield. Not a big bodied ball carrier.
Analysis: Pressley is a homerun hitting running back who amassed a lot of yards carrying the ball at New Mexico. He's a situational running back who must improve his pass catching skills and learn the NFL system for a chance to make a roster.

He looked pretty good last week. I was a little surprised they (Vikings) had no interest in keeping him, even on the practice squad per the local rumors.

Yeah, someone must have been using a lot of subliminal messages around the Packer offices this offseason. For some reason, TT decided to suddenly start drafting a bunch of speed and athleticism everywhere. Whatever it was, I think I like it.
