Dri Archer ran a 4.26 go-yard dash at the 2014 NFL Combine, the second fastest time ever and just .02 seconds slower than former Offensive Player of the Year Chris Johnson.
While that sounds like a recipe for success, no NFL career was based purely on speed, which Archer found out last year. The quick-footed running back from Kent State failed to carve out a niche as a kick returner and made very little noise as a running back, albeit behind one of the best all-around running backs in the league in Le’Veon Bell.
