And Lester seldom tried to throw him the ball in the flat, in open space....sigh!

His profile:

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/levante-be...0763a8851c

Overview
Undersized runner with productive profile and extensive experience in stretch and inside zone from offset shotgun positioning. Bellamy handles the inside/outside nature of the Broncos' rushing attack, but he's more comfortable and effective operating in space as an elusive slasher. He has great top-end speed that could really benefit an offense if he operates with better decisiveness and early, one-cut burst. Bellamy should compete for work as a RB3 with change-of-pace speed, but he needs to prove he can improve as a pass-catching option at the next level.

His first 40 in the combine was over 4.5....

His weight is up to 192. I think he needed to add some weight but could slow him down a tad.

Didn't run a 2nd 40. He either got hurt or is gonna wait for pro day to improve.

I think he pulled up a bit lame after his first run.

Yeah... he skipped his second 40...

Looks like he’s done for the night.

He is tied for third in RB vertical with 39.5

Just blew his chances of being drafted.

Wasn't gonna get drafted. Undersized.

He ran it twice. 4.5 second time. Not what he was hoping for I'm sure

Surprised at the negativity towards Bellamy. He sticks with an NFL team, he's a good player.

I never trusted those extremely fast 40 times WMU reports over the years.

28 RBs ran ...he was 8th fastest.

I think some of the problem is these guys look at the bench and all of the other workouts and think they have to bulk up to make it, losing that little bit of speed. That's what happened to Jarvion. I thought Bogan got a little heavier and slower as his college career went on, to his detriment.

Bellamy's grade so far indicates he will be drafted and make a final roster. The question seems to be if he can be anything but a change of pace guy.

Bellamy said he sustained a hip flexor injury while running his 40 time. He said he'll be fine for pro day though.
