As someone pointed out, Doug Baldwin is the best offensive player on this team.
If the team could figure out how to execute HB screens, McKissic would be great for that, but we don't seem to be able to.

Harvin was rumored to have run between 4.2 and 4.3 in college but at the combine he ran 4.41.

McKissic wasn't invited to the combine but from his pro day he ran 4.57 average, not much faster than 4.59.

But he does look like he runs faster than his 40 time would lead you to believe.

Anyone have access to McKissic a TD run, with PC face?

I'm gladly eating some crow. I was wrong about McKissic. I questioned why he was on the roster. Even if this is the only game he produces at least for one week he proved his worth. Congrats on a great game JD.

Some run fast with ball in game situation, some don't. Jerry Rice wasn't real fast on track, but often fast enough in game time during his prime. That being said, it's only ONE game folks, let's not over react.

Prosise and McKissic much different in style, Mckissic quick twitch and can cut on a dime, is on top of you before you know it and can make a move or fake without losing speed. Prosise a long strider, not much in fakes other then shoulder dips, more power then quickness, has good speed once he gets his legs going, Mckissic zero to warp in a couple steps.
Both great receivers, not surprising since both are receivers or were. Mckissic will be good at cut back runs and he has that ability to run sideways if you will, sort of like Lynch, His durability and size will be measuring stick of his career, although we have seen bigger and stringer go down left and right in Seattle the last few years also. He has that spark and change of pace and look that is a little Rawls with the quick hit and lateral ability, but won't make contact and drive a guy off or have the leverage to do a good stiff arm with his lack of size. What makes him a great addition is if the defense isn't paying attention when he comes in after seeing a Lacy or Carson, Prosise is that he can be in the hole and past you before you know he has the ball given a initial gap to hit. Once he is moving North and South doubt you catch him and if your one on one in front he will have a good chance to have you reaching for air.
Very much the pure sense of why we wanted Harvin, 40 speed and football speed are different, this kids football speed is top end.
Not a guy to wrap a offense around but a guy that can create a momentum shift or a quick hit score if you need something big fast.

I was going by this link which listed 4.29 as his low 40-time, but yes, he "only" ran 4.41 at the combine but I believe he was not fully healthy at the time:
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/ds ... &genpos=WR
Not sure how that site gets its data I was assuming he ran faster at his pro day.
His wikipedia page says he ran a 4.32 in HS but yes that's HS.
As far as McKissic, I haven't seen anything that says he's run much faster than 4.59 - that was from his pro day.
Of course we are talking track times and not full pads and whatnot, but as a pure track athlete Harvin is simply in another class speed wise. There's a reason McKissic went undrafted and Harvin was a first round pick.
None of that matters now... we are lucky to have him. Just pointing out that there is one glaring difference between the two players (well, two if you count what's going on upstairs), and that is their track speed.

He's such a versatile player, really was stoked to see him in there. If I was Rawls or CJ, I'd be very concerned.
Of course, those guys actually getting on the field is another story.......

I think a lot of good football play get overlooked or dismissed because some folks are micro focused on combine & Pro Day numbers.....Steve Largent was far from the fastest Receiver, yet quick enough to make it into the HOF.Megatron":1knx0cpw said:
Debating over two or three tenths of a second?
I do agree that it would be nice to see a little better sample size with McKissic, but he has impressed with what we've seen so far.
What I don't get?, is why some folks try so hard to taking the wind out of the sails of other posters in here. LOL

Colts need to cut that safety, he jumps out of the way of McKissic!
I'm a Seahawk fan and that poor play resulted in a TD for my team, but that was so poor it still makes me angry. Pathetic.

I wasn't trying to take the wind out of anybody's sails. I am super stoked about McKissic. I'm just saying he's not EXACTLY the same player as Harvin. In the end I wouldn't be surprised at all if he has a better career than Harvin. Having him is a huge huge win. I'm actually drooling at the thought of both him and Procise in the backfield at the same time. Defenses will crap their pants.
