02/16/15 - 2015 NFL COMBINE RUNNING BACK SNUB: Malcolm Agnew, Southern Illinois...An Oregon State transfer, Agnew is a quick-footed runner with decisive burst to get north-south in a hurry, adding value as a pass-catcher. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry as a senior with 10 rushing touchdowns.

Has anybody looked into these SPARQ (Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness) scores? Pete Carroll (and Schneider I guess) are big believers.

It obviously can't tell if a RB can hold on to the ball, but it is a measure of athleticism.


I found it interesting that Malcolm Agnew had the 4th highest score in this RB class. Behind Ameer Abdullah and David Johnson, but higher than Gurley, Gordon, Yeldon, Tevin Coleman, and Duke Johnson.

I thought I should add that Agnew was not invited to the combine like the highly drafted running backs I mentioned in the last post. The formula isn't public and I don't know how much a tenth in the 40 or an inch on the broadjump would affect the scores. He attended the pro day at Northwestern so I don't think his results should be dismissed as "home cooking."

What he does on the practice field and in the exhibition games is all that matters now. But I thought the scores were interesting.

Hope he does well, there is room for 1 more rb.

Lacy and Starks and let's not forget about Rajon Neal.

He has a year under his belt on the PS, he could be a surprise this preseason.

It's been said before, a team can never have enough quality rb's.
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Malcolm Agnew Ready to Make NFL Jump With Green Bay Packers
Agnew sounds like a very good pickup for the Packers, and he has a great personality that will make a lot of fans root for him to make the final roster. It will come down to him and Neal for the final running back job, but even if he doesn’t make the 53-man roster, he will likely land on the practice squad. There is no question that he has a future in the NFL, and hopefully it will be with the Packers.

Odd that he would fail one physical and be confident to pass the next one a couple weeks later. I had assumed it had something to do with the season ending ankle injury he suffered last year.

I don't want to cast dispersions on anyone but this brings up a question. Do they do drug testing as part of the rookie physicals?

Agnew has been invited to the Kansas City Chiefs' rookie minicamp this weekend. Reached on Wednesday, he said he could not disclose why he failed the Packers' physical, but was confident he would pass the Chiefs' test.

Very interesting indeed, though I'm assuming he's just trying to stay upbeat and think they won't fail him (though they might). That or the doctors asked him if he had any pain, he said yes, they failed him... and next time he plans on lying to get through the test?

Also it's been clear that teams have different standards for the physical test ... there have been a couple of times when a FA has signed with a team, but then failed the physical (which cancel the contract), and they've turned around, signed with a different team and passed that team's physical without in day (once even hours). So some teams take the physicals more serious than others maybe?
