Josey led the Missouri offensive attack from the backfield, scoring 16 times on the ground while displaying every bit of the speed and athleticism he had before he shredded his knee during his freshman season.
On Sunday afternoon at the NFL combine, Josey not only flashed that speed that made him elusive and explosive throughout his entire Mizzou career, but he likely solidified himself as a mid-round pick with is 4.43 second 40-yard dash in Indianapolis.
Josey's time was the third fastest among all running backs participating and told use what we already knew.
Josey can fly.
In today's NFL, where speed kills and backfields are made up of three different weapons, Josey most certainly will find a home someplace. He offers the kind of explosive speed that makes teams salivate and his ability to catch passes and return kicks will be capitalized on as well.
If there is one worry for Josey, its his size. He always has been thought of as small, but as it turns out, he is even smaller then Missouri had him listed in the program.

It will be shame if Josey is not a third or fourth round pick, but based on his burst, strength, heart and character, that should not be a problem for the former Mizzou running back.
