Villain The Foe Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Seems like this guy who no one gave a thought about is lighting it up at the Senior Bowl. Not the fastest guy but he finds the hole, he delivers the hit, he breaks tackles, he blocks for the QB and downfield and he can catch the ball. He looks like a running back.

JayKwaz Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have wanted a FB like Richie Anderson since he left. I hope they draft Varga and use him in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny, because if we go spread I dont know if we'll hold a FB, but at the same time Varga showed much versatility last night lining up at 3 different positions (RB, FB, TE). This guy is going to be a fan favorite for an NFL team. He'd look good as a Jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 He looked good at the senior bowl but he's to slow to be a RB and to small to be a TE or blocking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincenzo69 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 He looked good at the senior bowl but he's to slow to be a RB and to small to be a TE or blocking back. He's a 3rd down back. RB in the NFL is more about being able to find the crease and explode than it is about straight line speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow and small for slow doesn't make it in the nfl. If he has a bad 40 he might even be drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shonn Greene ran a 4.62 40 and we drafted him in the 3rd round. Not saying we do that with Varga but if he's there in the 6th round I'd take a shot at him.

The Jets also have Bohanon and Connor so there's no need for an undersized FB. If he does well at the combined hell get picked up late but if he's running high 4.8s 4.9s I don't see it happening.

New York Mick Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 You sure it's not his complexion? That would be SPF 50. His 40 time is all over the place depending on what you read. 4.82 to 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we do that with Varga but if he's there in the 6th round I'd take a shot at him. I think the two of you both have points, the difference with Varga is that though he isn't the fastest, he has a knack for finding the hole and he seems to break a lot of tackles, something that Shonn Greene as a Jet never did. Shonn Green's yards after point of contact was like the worst in the NFL at one point. Granted, he did have some huge broken tackles at key moments (Ask Cromartie or the Patriots in the playoffs), but he was never consistent. The first guy that made it to Greene made the tackle 90% of the time. There's a place in the NFL for Varga and a 3rd down back seems about right given his solid hands from the backfield and ability to find the hole and break tackles.
