Again, its not all about the fact he has the after burners on high. Its the speed/size combo for an RB.
Chris Johnson 195lbs ran a 4.24
Dri Archer 173lbs ran a 4.26
Marquise Goodwin 183 ran a 4.27
Jamarcus Nelson 175lbs ran a 4.28
Jerome Mathis 181lbs ran a 4.29
Jacoby Ford 185lbs ran a 4.29

Corey Grant 210lbs ran a 4.27

The thing that's special about this guy isn't the speed, clearly there are some names up there who didn't pan out.
The thing that is special to me is that he has 20-30 pounds on all these guys and can still do what he does, that speed/power combo is something that is NOT common and is highly touted as an RB. There isn't much tape on him, so I'm not too sure yet how he does in-between the tackles and in pass blocking. But with what I saw at his spring-game for Auburn I'm still trying to figure out why he wasn't used. He looked better to me than Artis-Payne

Nelson, Goodwin, Mathias, and Ford are all WRs. And blazing 40s aren't a necessity for a RB. Besides Johnson, what exceptionally fast RB has done anything? It's about vision, strength, quickness more than overall speed, that are more important than a good 40.

Agreed, which is why I've been watching lots of tape (or at least looking for tape) on this kid.
So far, he has excellent vision of the field. He hardly gets touched within the first 5 yards (might have more to do with his speed, but his patience is astounding)

To be honest, I know this thread probably seems like it was created because a guy ran a fast 40. And I get that lots of people (the Raiders) would take anyone who can show a flashy 40.
But I'm trying to find holes in this guys game and I can't (be it because I'm only seeing highlights). All of the stuff you listed he demonstrates/possesses.
I would love to get a guy like Phoenix or MadDog to give me their opinion if they've seen this guy. I haven't watched him much but from the stuff I've seen (that I've only looked at because of his 40) he has looked like a good RB.

Can you give short scouting report ? .......I haven´t seen any tape yet.

very interesting

I particularly enjoyed his role in North by Northwest

Just a note, Bo Jackson, 6'1 230, ran a 4.12, 40.

Just to add a note: he measured in at 5'8 7/8 and 201 lbs.

Couldn't hurt to take a chance if he's sitting there in the 6th/7th round... undrafted is even better
