We will be fine if this kid gets the football part right in fall camp. There can be a whole lot of speed on the field at the same time this coming season.
Rahmir Johnson blazing on the track
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Wow that’s a fluff article. His best 100m last year was 10.88. Jesus LJS, maybe sneak some content in there.
Well this site is showing he ran a 10.6 and 10.5 and 22.1 and 22.9 200. http://highschoolsports.nj.com/player/rahmir-johnson/. But still, we can both agree dudes lightening fast. Give him a hole and he’s gone, period.
Can’t wait to see him on the field.
A kid in Texas just ran a 9.98. Faster ever recorded time for a high schooler

Let’s hope the track speed translates on the football field. Can’t wait to see the speed on the offense in 2019.
That kid has a whole other gear and looks like he's nowhere near his potential yet. Wow.
Scrappy, hard nosed kid.
Spent some time this morning going over Rahmir's film again. He does a lot of things well. Once in a while he is a bit hesitant, and that will work against him at the next level. Most of the time though, his vision and decision making is really good and combined with his side and studder steps, he alludes and then is a bit difficult to bring down. If it doesn't affect his speed, I'd like to see him gain 25lbs over the next couple years. I think he's got fairly long legs for his height, so when he stretches them, it gives him a higher top gear. If he can add 'lightning quick' decision making at the next level, he could be really scary to try to defend.
His speed will be fine BUT obviously it takes more than just speed to be a great running back.
Seems like he gets moving in a hurry and could be a handful for opposing teams on well blocked jet sweeps and in the short passing game. The fake it til you make it juke plays worked against whomever Bergan Catholic was playing that week, but he will get swallowed up by B1G Ds trying to play that game. But he doesn't go down after first contact, that is for sure.
If he can get the playbook down, he's another weapon. Get him on the field with JD, Wan'dale and Kade. That's a nice hand for AMart to play.
He looks much improved in his senior season. Watching his junior film, I thought he would need at least a few years to develop. But with the senior film thrown in there, I think he could contribute for us right away.
Makes the least amount of mistakes and has great hands that makes up for his speed on the field..
Plus he's a grinder. And like having another coach on the field.
My point with Rahmir is that Frost is stockpiling kids that can be weapons. Combine those kids with a guy like Kade who will consistently do things like make the right block, and a guy like Mills who has already shown the ability to get tough yards at the P5 level and you see an offense developing so that the opposing defense cannot take a down off. Mills, JD, Kade, Wan'dale on one down, Mo, Miles, JD and Hunt the next.
Especially impressive for a cracker. The Boogie Man has some serious wheels.

Watched Rahmir’s film again and I like him a lot. However, there’s only a couple plays where he takes on much contact or even has to make too many moves. So I’d like to see more of him in tight spaces getting hit.
In no way am I doubting him, only pointing out it’s what is lacking in the film.
There’s one play that was my favorite where he showed some wiggle then ran over a DB.

Knows the offense, is a willing blocker, and can find open zones.
I see a little bit of Ameer in his game. It's going to be fun watching him develope.
Well your actually dead on there. If he’s anything like this guy, we will have an elite RB for years to come...with better top end speed
And Rivals having Ameer a 3 star is a joke. I seen 24/7 had him as a 4 star at least. But 3 star is laughable.

Fast kids that can play football and want to run track as well. Gary is waiting.
He's a grinder? Weird. How is that going to go over in the locker room?
Listened to dan Patrick’s interview of this kid. He doesn’t play football and can’t really catch.
Interesting. Sounds like he's really dedicated to his craft. An old school gym rat.
