Dri Archer ran a 4.26 today!

Post by BGSU33 »

Dude is simply fast! I remember our vaunted run defense just get destroyed by him as he singlehandedly ripped BG apart on two runs two years ago to crush our chances at a MAC Championship. We didn't stand a chance on his one run and on the other run he made what seemed like our entire team miss on him. I was not sorry one bit that he didn't play against BG last year. I enjoyed watching him play against every team not named Bowling Green. I wish him luck.
GO BG!!!

Good for him. Did he get a cookie at the end?

Oh my ... that is incredible but not horribly surprising. I heard he ran a 4.28 at Kent and he outran Denard Robinson in Florida high school track events.

He fell a bit short of his bold prediction of breaking CJ2K's record. Still 4.26 is blazing fast.

He also looked smooth as hell in the agility drills that I saw when I flipped it on for a bit yesterday afternoon.

I love Dri Archer as a late round "weapon" type player...a McCluster type player. I think he'll be electric in the return game, and can bring an instant big play threat as a WR as well. At 170 pounds I just don't see him getting too many traditional RB carries in the NFL.

Either way I think he's a guy that gets taken in the 4th-6th rounds, makes a roster, and will make plays so long as he can stay healthy. That speed/elusiveness combo has value in the NFL regardless of his slight stature.
