Did you see what he did vs the Giants the other night on that bubble screen? Oh my God it was sick! It's like his shoes were on fire he was running so fast. He's going to give a lot of people some major trouble this season
Running style so similar to Jamaal Charles...actually nearly identical. Could hang around a long time in the NFL for such a small guy, hard to get a clean hit on a guy that shifty.
Wow. Reminds me of Gayle Sayers, in the way that he makes cuts at his top speed, without losing speed. He's going to make a lot of kick coverage teams look silly.
This guys is fun to watch. Good job steelers for picking him. I wish my team did. but we got a similar guy in bruce ellington. A lot of people are saying archer wont be good because he's small but the best running back of all time was tiny. Barry Sanders.
I think he's really good. I love the speed and his balance while running he could be a great return man. I'm not sure if he will be able to do stuff like this in the NFL. NFL players are so much faster than the competition he faced.
At first I disliked this pick because we passed on Martavis Bryant, but since he fell to us again I'm happy we got Archer too. Hopefully he can improve a kick return game that has been largely irrelevant since Santonio left.
Niners should let LMJ go, and pick up Dri and use him as a kick returner, and slowly let him run a few snaps. But I'm sure some other team will pick him up before the niners
Just look at the highlight from 00:23 - 00:38, he ran at least a total of 95 yards (this includes from one sideline to the other) in 12 secs. That's pretty fast too me.
He looks fast but he definitely doesn't look like he's running a 4.2.He doesn't look anywhere near as fast as Chris Johnson looked in college.He doesn't even look as fast as Tavon Austin looked in college.
EAGLES NEED A DAMN RETURNER we like the only TEAM who hasn't ran back a kick return its be like 10yrs shxt feels like it ...DRI ARCHER ...stock may have went up from that 4.26
This guy is just a return specialist in the NFL. Which is becoming a more and more pointless position as they continue to change the kickoff rules towards not even having returns.
He looks fast, but he doesn't look 4.26 fast, if you watch their tape, Brandin Cooks looks faster than this kid, he looks like more of a mid 4.3 guy, which is still blazing obviously
Come on now ,to early to be making outlandish predictions ,look at the Seahawks and their garbage ass Roster they beat a loaded Denver team that has a first ballot Hall of Fame QB
The 40 time really just tests acceleration. I ran track in high school 200m 4x400 4x100 relays and 400m now my 40 time probably would have been in the 4.5s but im 6'5 but there were guys who ran 4.4s but i can walk them down simply because my top speed is greater than theres. Basically a 40 time is acceleration. For comparison everyone thinks chris johnson is blazing fast true enough but compare his top speed to a jamal charles or percy harvin or d Jackson its a difference
JBLOCK74GD Even in the 100 yard dash, top sprinters are barely reaching top speed in their last few strides. For example Usain bolt doesnt accelerate as fast as most sprinters in the first 50 yards but his top speed is so much faster than everyone else and it shows in the last 30 yards or so.
It is 100m first of all and we are talking about 40 yards. Bolt it so tall it takes him a long time to reach hid top gear. People with shout legs do not take as much time to reach full speed!!!! If you compare leg speed with other olympic sprinters, Bolt has one of the slowest leg speeds he is just so tall his strides carry him far.
Niners all the way this Season. Refs won't be sucking Seahawk dicks this year,Bull shit NFL,Loves robbing the Niners , this season they'll be blowing teams out,no bullshit
he looks like hes something special
great pick
GO STEELERS
they need to give this dude the damn ball
His time will come.
He gone
He really have a nice career with about 4 yards
The man has burners. Leaves everyone in the dust.
Didn't know who Dri Archer was till the NFL Combine but this guys is blazing whoever picks him will have a true weapon
Welcome home to Steeler Nation. Glad to have you.
This kid seems more-so the Devin Hester type. Specialist/punt-returner if anything.
Welcome to Pittsburgh!!!
Let's go baby here we go Steelers great draft!!! Shazier, Tuitt and now Archer wow!!!
Welcome to Steeler Nation Archer
he's going to be a nice addition to the Steeler's strong RB core, we got some great guys for next season
Did you guys find this video on Bleacher Report?
Twerk music on a highlight tape wtf lol
WELCOME TO PITTSBURGH!
Great steelers pick!!! We needed a great kick return and a fast explosive running back to go with Levon bell and Blount!!!!
Did you see what he did vs the Giants the other night on that bubble screen? Oh my God it was sick! It's like his shoes were on fire he was running so fast. He's going to give a lot of people some major trouble this season
He would be a nice complement to Le'veon Bell, on the Steelers
Good call
Yeah, he was so good they released him...
Running style so similar to Jamaal Charles...actually nearly identical. Could hang around a long time in the NFL for such a small guy, hard to get a clean hit on a guy that shifty.

Steelers Nation!! S T E E L E R S!! A change of pace back and a possible returner !! Here we go !!
I think he's really good. I love the speed and his balance while running he could be a great return man. I'm not sure if he will be able to do stuff like this in the NFL. NFL players are so much faster than the competition he faced.
Ran a 4.28 40 yard dash in the combine. Super fast
With a little training this guy could be very dangerous in the NFL. Just an all around utility back with cheetah like speed.
Fastest way to judge speed on film is can he regularly beat the safetys angle, and he does. Its legit game speed nt jus combine preparation
Great highlight video! Only if the video was clear then I'll rate this a A+. Archer has amazing speed! Well see how he does in the NFL.
Welcome to #steelernation and what's good is he can stretch out to wr , very versatile
Dude is fast good pick steelers happy le'veon and him bout to do work
Holy shit!! Pittsburgh should use him as WR. They are doing a great job with the draft.
The newest Steeler baby!
he's running so fast at times it seems like the video has been sped up..lol
Most likely going to be mainly a return man.
At first I disliked this pick because we passed on Martavis Bryant, but since he fell to us again I'm happy we got Archer too. Hopefully he can improve a kick return game that has been largely irrelevant since Santonio left.
This guys amazing speed is shown at 2:05
he reminds me of Chris Rainey/Tavon Austin with a sprinkle of DAT
He reminds me a lot of Brandon Banks out of Kansas State. I swear they're almost the exact same player.
Steelers Nation!! They gunna beast on all dem teams next year!!!
WELCOME TO THE STEEL CITY!!!
The Steelers are having a great draft.
Congrats steelers fans.. As a skins fan we drafted Lache Seastrunk so speed is definitely appreciated
if somehow he survives to the 3-4th round, he's going to be a falcon
Better Rise Up
Holy cow! Can't believe my Steelers got him! We will have the #1 run offense guaranteed
Welcome to Pittsburgh kiddo! You're gonna get a chance immediately to be a playmaker!!
never heard of this guy until he ran the 40 at the combine. But he wont be a steal because this dude will rely on speed other than talent.
Dri archer for black and gold now
And why he looks not as fast as a 4.26 is because he takes large strides , not like de Anthony where he takes smaller faster strides
Speed Demon, this years Chris Johnson,someone will take him late First early second,tacklers with perfect angles looked stuck in the pavement
No way he goes in the first........most likely he drafted 3-6th round
AegonTheConqueror 4th or 5th sounds about right.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's going to go in the 3rd to Pittsburgh. P.S. I'm from the future :)
Earl Paone Says the person who posted that comment 1 hour ago dumb shit
Lol I'm glad you're smart enough to know that I'm not really from the future and can see the sarcasm. Well done troll
Hopefully this is our next Darren Sproles,
#WHODAT
Welcome to Pittsburgh
Man I tell you what that is what you call a football player. What is that track that is some awesome music.
He is going to be a niner!!!
Steelers Gonna pick'em!
I see a little Tavon Austin in him, but I don't think he will be drafted as high
He just said he is going to beat Chris Johnson record 40 time. I think he has a chance after watching this
saints bound ;) oh lord the things we could do with this guys speed in our offense.
Actually pitt bound :)
Yessir!!!!!!!!!
I guess Cooks will have to suffice. haha.
steeler nation
The New Orleans saints will be the top offense again with him on our squad
Flat out speed !!! go steelers
whats tue second music called
Flash like speed
Niners should let LMJ go, and pick up Dri and use him as a kick returner, and slowly let him run a few snaps. But I'm sure some other team will pick him up before the niners
He reminds me of cj n Jamal Charles
Jets!!!!
he is the second coming of desean jackson
Lmao!! @ 3:45 dri looked at the would be tackler as if to say "no chance"
He's a Steeler now.
so fast he almost beet cj 4o time record and he had faster 40 than marquise goodwin, tavon austin, and jeff demps
what is fun is putting the speed of video to double it looks cool hahaahah
In the third round in the NFL draft, The New Orleans Saints select.....
i cant believe his combine speed. he doesnt look all that fast
are you high?
Just look at the highlight from 00:23 - 00:38, he ran at least a total of 95 yards (this includes from one sideline to the other) in 12 secs. That's pretty fast too me.
What....
You are stupider than you look,aren't you buddy
He looks fast but he definitely doesn't look like he's running a 4.2.He doesn't look anywhere near as fast as Chris Johnson looked in college.He doesn't even look as fast as Tavon Austin looked in college.
Great video can you make mine when I get to high school!! 🏈
so is he gonna pop that thing or what
I've been playing too much madden 25, I keep waiting for them to get shoe lace tackles....smh
First song ?
Darren Sproles' replacement. Saints need to pick him up.
EAGLES NEED A DAMN RETURNER we like the only TEAM who hasn't ran back a kick return its be like 10yrs shxt feels like it ...DRI ARCHER ...stock may have went up from that 4.26
Roscoe Parrish with bad grades lol he dat great! we all know he's D1 talent
Ra'shede hageman minnesota
Just ran a 4.28
Fast asf
Trade lamichael James and draft this boy!! I have been watching him for awhile . 49ers all the way this is our new return specialist !!
Check out Zauhn Lewis highlights he is coming out of a small school a needs help gettin his name out there
LOL Some of you people have pipe dreams! He's not dropping anywhere into the second round. He's top 10 for sure.
LOL, wrong.
Yo that song got annoying real fast
My bad, bad choice lol
will scarborough I guess that was clever. Lol
+CFB Highlight House what the second song called?
#Texans 3rd or 4th round draft pick.
I would still take De'anthony Thomas over Dri Archer any day
Dimitroff
Watch "Lenard "Flash" Covington Jr 2013 Highlights" on UA-cam
Lenard "Flash" Covington Jr 2013 Highlights
This guy is just a return specialist in the NFL. Which is becoming a more and more pointless position as they continue to change the kickoff rules towards not even having returns.
Are Replacement for Darren Sproles #WhoDatNation
Steelers Baby!
He looks fast, but he doesn't look 4.26 fast, if you watch their tape, Brandin Cooks looks faster than this kid, he looks like more of a mid 4.3 guy, which is still blazing obviously
if the browns got Manziel, Bradin Cooks & Dri Archer they will go to the Superbowl but only if they get these 3 only way no other way
What are you Al Davis? There is more to football than speed.
They would not go to the Super Bowl, they would be lucky to make it to the Conference finals.
Come on now ,to early to be making outlandish predictions ,look at the Seahawks and their garbage ass Roster they beat a loaded Denver team that has a first ballot Hall of Fame QB
Josh Taylor they are people that nobody want like Seattle and who was drafted in the 1st round on that roster?
Browns and Super Bowl don't belong in the same sentence. Why don't you hope to win enough games to qualify for the post season
STEELERS
Why does he look slow? This guy ran 4.2 and D' Anthony Thomas ran 4.6 If you look at the tape D. Thomas looks way faster SMH
Dri Archer has a long stride. DeAnthony Thomas & Tavon Austin were just quicker; with smaller strides.
The 40 time really just tests acceleration. I ran track in high school 200m 4x400 4x100 relays and 400m now my 40 time probably would have been in the 4.5s but im 6'5 but there were guys who ran 4.4s but i can walk them down simply because my top speed is greater than theres.

Future 49er
Ha! The last thing we need is more backfield depth!
Yeah buddy,that's what I'm talking about
Niners all the way this Season. Refs won't be sucking Seahawk dicks this year,Bull shit NFL,Loves robbing the Niners , this season they'll be blowing teams out,no bullshit
We are shopping James right now, don't see us drafting archer who is a faster james,but same mold.
oh really?
looks more like 4.4 to me...
Ravens fan...
4.2 my friend
Electronically timed 4.26, how can you argue that?
I think he just needs to try to tackle him, then he will realize how fast he is.
nigga you look like an unhappy meal from mc donalds
highlights are great! but then you put the music to it......boo!
Keep him running in Ohio ~ Browns !
Jesus. 1:59
deat is so much better look at the teams this kid is playing
thats my uncle
no jk
Freakin5 no big man just voicing my opinion
Naw thats okay!
