Well, to the extent that any NFL scouts had doubts about the athletic ability of Stanford running back Toby Gerhart, the Heisman finalist has addressed them.
Unofficially, Gerhart ran the 40-yard dash in an unofficial time of 4.53 seconds at the Scouting Combine in Indy.
I know this because I’m watching the Underwear Olympics on my Sprint phone, and Rich Eisen and the gang are keeping my awake via a range of interesting topics and off-the-cuff discussion that makes it all seem like four or five buddies sitting in someone’s den. Without the burping, cursing, or farting. (Or, more accurately, without any farting that I can hear.)
So perhaps if Gerhart believes he’ll be compared only to other white players, perhaps he’ll be hearing less “John Riggins” and more “Don Beebe.”
