Texas State RB Stan Zwinggi

Originally posted by TKent715 Originally posted by Observer Combine 40 times Draft Daddy's being a little disingenuous with these "average" times.  I always get the feeling they're doing so in an effort to get more slower guys into the league.  The slugs who raise these "averages" of the speed positions either don't get drafted, or get drafted in the later rounds and rarely perform.  They're trying to condition people to accept slowpokes as the norm, when it's simply not the case.  No one's ever going to fall for it.

The only guy on this list who could've won even a small state high school 100m is Chris Johnson. Johnson's real fast, but I doubt if any of the rest would crack 11.0s on their first try on any given day. Yes, "slowpokes" are the norm.

Edited to add: Hey, where did that list go?

Great article on the myth of 40 times. author mentions Zwinggi.

I have had my eye on Stan for the last year or so. The problem is that he has done very little for a very bad Texas State team. He may wow some scouts at a workout, much like Brad Mueller did last year, then end up playing in Canada.

from Draftdaddy.com as always:

We've been inspecting all the info we've gotten from our many inside sources in recent days, as we are just about set to update our small schoolers section. Anyway, while looking at the tailbacks we wondered where are the fast F.C.S. and D-II running backs?

Outside of Liberty's Rashad Jennings (who reportedly runs in the mid to high 4.4's), there doesn't seem to be any super fast players near the top of the list of small school tailbacks on the NFL's radar. But then we looked towards the bottom of the list and found a fascinating prospect: .Stan Zwinggi of Texas State.

While Zwinggi's only listed at 5' 9" and 190 pounds by scouts, NFL sources have him running 4.35 or better and he's currently ranked as a priority free agent going into his senior season. Now, it's not like Zwinggi is a nobody, because he played in the very prestigious 2004 Army All-American Game, with so many elite prep stars around the nation. Unfortunately, much like Ex-Chadron Star Danny Woodhead, he was inexplicably ignored by every Division 1-A school in America, despite a great high school career and blazing speed? Zwinggi hasn't racked up the numbers Woodhead did in college, but he's bounced around from wide receiver to tailback and battled injuries in 2007.


inexplicably? lol, DD.com should stop using subtility like this, every living souls knows what they are talking about
