Former Georgia Bulldog runningback Knowshon Moreno participated in workouts at the NFL Combine… trying to improve his draft stock. We all knew Knowshon wasn’t the fastest back coming out of college, but he’s strong and has great moves. Knowshon was a bit disappointing though in his 40 times.

From Rotoworld:

Georgia RB Knowshon Moreno ran unofficial 4.55 and 4.63 forty times at the NFL Scouting Combine Sunday.
Moreno reported heavier than expected, and it may have affected his time. While he lacks game-changing speed, Moreno is versatile enough to keep a first round grade. But he can probably forget about going in the top ten now.

The good knews is that there weren’t any running backs that posted a sub 4.40 time. The draft is still several months away and Knowshon will probably participate in Pro Days at UGA. Don’t look too much into his time at the Combine, he’ll still be one of the top 2 running backs taken.

It seems like just yesterday when Georgia fans were watching and waiting for the 2006 recruiting class to form. Today is National Signing Day for high school football players. That means a lot of undecided players will be signing their letters of intent to attend a specific college.

Back in February 2006, Knowshon Moreno made the decision to attend the University of Georgia. Other schools on his list were Florida, Maryland and Michigan. Fast forward 3 years later and Knowshon Moreno is set to be a 1st round draft pick in the NFL. I’d say his decision to attend UGA was pretty good.

For his class, Rivals.com had him ranked as the No. 10 player at his position. Looking at the list of players, only Chris ‘Beanie’ Wells (who was ranked No. 1) is a better player then Knowshon. And even that is arguable.
