08:05 AM ET 04.19 | Fans love speed, and RB Taiwan Jones out of Eastern Washington sure can fly. Jones made big headlines last week when he posted blistering 40-yard dash times of anywhere from 4.24-4.31 on his first attempt and 4.27-4.35 during his second attempt during his personal pro day for over 20 NFL teams. Most running backs that run that well are typically very small, but Jones isn't small. ... Jones is scheduled to visit the Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers this week.

I guess the question is how elusive can you be not how fast you can run straight

Taiwan Jones...sounds more like a bantam weight boxer or a stunt double in a Kung Fu movie. Great name.

Agreed. Speed can get you killed. At the right angle a really fast back getting hit squarely, can be like running into a brick wall.

He was a team unto himself when I saw him play last year. He's the real deal. Better than LT who I also saw play. Better.

He may be fast, but it looks like he forgot the ball in the picture.

In that picture he's chasing a DB that recovered a fumble.
