However, you make a good argument for Wells’ vision with your example. I do think that his success is highly contingent on the system he is placed into. Kind of reminds me of T.J. Duckett. And as a final note, I am a strong believer that his game speed is much better than his timed speed. His game tape confirms that, for sure.

Me personally I like Wells a lot I think his game speed is better than his 40-yard dash speed and his size is one of his best assets going forward.

I also think he has one thing going for that way to often is overlooked and is certainly not talked about in most scouting circles, but it’s one of the most important aspects of any RB at any level. That’s their vision to find holes and make the most out of exploiting those holes. My favorite highlite of Wells comes from the Michigan State game where he takes a hand off on a zone-isolation play that is sorta slow to develop to the right side. He is so patient, he sorta runs at almost half speed at first…then all of a sudden he sees the hole, he plants his foot and EXPLODES up the field.

As Mike Mayock likes to say it’s one of those high lights that makes me fall in love with a prospect. That’s the one that makes me swoon over Beanie Wells…it’s that one cut AND BOOM explosion of speed through the hole and into the second level. It’s like 68-yards later he gets tackled, but it was just so impressive to me how he just hits the hole so hard.
