Georgia football running back Zamir White

Zamir White didn’t have quite the career everyone thought he would when he initially committed to the Georgia football program. After two ACL injuries, the running back is still a talented, hard-nosed, physical football player that will make some NFL team very happy.

The NFL likes running backs who are quick, have great vision and can be a piece of the passing game if needed. White can do all of that.

He piqued some more interest after running a 4.4 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, the seventh-fastest among other running backs.White recorded a 33.50″ vertical jump and 10.8″ broad jump.

Before the NFL Combine, he wasn’t getting much attention because those two knee injuries can be a turnoff, but White proved that he is 100% healthy.

Originally projected in the fourth or fifth round, White could get selected in the third round now. Someone could even grab him sooner if they feel like he is a risk they are willing to take.

His speed is going to really help him because 4.4 40-yard dash for a running back is right where you want someone at his size to be.

White is a stud and was someone who needed a good NFL Combine performance to remind people what kind of athlete he is.
