We actually have the slowest RB and WR in NFL combine history…
What is the slowest NFL combine 40-yard dash time? Overall and positional breakdown
In the NFL, speed is the name of the game. Here are the slowest 40-yard dash times on record in NFL combine history.

And yet he was a beast. Big heart and determination! Don’t see much of what he had anymore.
Field vision
Dicenzo had the vision to see the blocks and anticipate the hole opening up and just enough quickness to get through. And good cuts.

He was an awesome college RB for us, very good leader and tough also!
40 times are so overrated. I want football players, not track stars. Not saying speed isn’t important, it is. But there’s a lot more than speed that goes into being a good football player.
And a thing of beauty. I used to rewatch games on VHS and watch his runs in slow motion. It was an art …his vision, anticipation, cuts, and use of his lineman. He’d always get caught from behind though.
Decenzo went 42-1 in high school at Weir. I'll put that guy on my team any day.
I remember the year bear played basketball, and thinking he looked so slow out on the court. There was no way he could play SEC basketball. It wasn’t noticeable (at least to me) on the football field. Guess his size made up for it because he didn’t have to outrun DBs
He was a coach with Coach Davis (Co-Lin) while I played down there. The first time I met him I was like star struck given he was a hero to most state fans of the 90s. He is a great guy beyond his 40 time. Really a cool dude.
Yep because it’s straight line speed and doesn’t tell us anything about quickness, vision and cutting ability. Emmitt Smith did not have a good forty time, many high school backs have a faster forty.
This was my favorite Dicenzo game. I remember watching him run and not understanding how there were so many people around him the whole time. Man, I hated BYU in this series.
He personally destroyed Florida his junior year. They could not tackle him. Hail State and also Dicenzo.
If I recall, he was playing hurt his senior year and missed a few games. Ankle issues maybe? It’s been 24 years so the facts are fuzzy. Maybe that was still affecting him around draft time, I dunno.
He was my favorite player when I first became a State fan. Great pass catching RB in an era where that wasn’t as common. Good runner too. He and Dontae in 2000 was maybe the best backfield 1-2 punch we’ve ever had. I realize Dontae’s career went downhill after that, but that 2000 offense was a lot of fun.

The Michael Davis / Kevin Bouie backfield a few years prior to Dontae & Dicenzo was a 2-headed monster as well.
Hamstring I believe. Season opener against Memphis. The plan was to sit him out. At halftime we were losing 3-0 with probably 50 yards of offense. Zo came off the bench and put the team on his back with one good leg. Scored on a 50+ yard run. Led us to 30 2nd half points. As bad as 2001 was it would’ve been much worse without him. He was our offense that season….on one leg.
