This run was AWESOME!!

This run was AWESOME!!

I thought the 2nd td was even better.

 

[Hoofbite]

#3 is the best one. lol. Holy crap.

 

[SlammedZero]

He had a 12.5 avg until his last run. It then took it down to "only" 10.

 

[Hoofbite]

Here’s the big plays. The 4th TD is awesome too. Not a great angle but you can see it. He just sits the linebacker right on his butt.

There was another play not shown where a shoestring tackle saved another long TD run. Tons of room ahead of him and he was barely tripped up.

Can't wait to see how we talk ourselves out of drafting this guy

He does look great. Bijan looked this good and had to play much more difficult competition. Atlanta thought he was the answer with their very good offensive line. He totaled 4 TDs last season and has one through 3 games this year.

I think the teams taking this guy will have visions of Adrian Peterson and Barry Sanders-25-30 TD’s per season. RB’s take violent collisions and get injured (lots). The current 1st round trend (avoiding RB’s) reflects what historical evidence is saying. Build a great line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball-the other players will look like diamonds even if they are just pretty pieces of glass.

That said, this guy is lots of fun to watch!

Knowing Jerry, he won't stop blabbering about Jeanty, and someone will trade up ahead of the Cowboys to select him.

Don't worry, Stephen & Jerry will tell you they didn't even want him. Many here will believe them.

Then they will reach like heck for a RB in the 2nd round.

See also Patrick Surtain II and Kelvin Joseph, Dalton Kincaid and Luke Schoonmaker.

He is worthy of a mid to late first round pick and he desperately fills a need,
Hate to break it to everyone but RBs are not a dime a dozen, RBs are still very relevant in todays game.

Totally disagree. People pretend 1st round draft picks are automatic starters. How many busts have we seen drafted round 1 at QB, OT, DL, CB, etc.

Quit worrying about 2nd contracts.

Busts are generally defined by whether or not they get a second contract with the team that drafted them...

And some get cut within 1 to 2 years of being drafted, like Simi Fehoko, V. Fehoko, Jabril Cox......

Damone Clark and Deuce Vaughn probably next.

Some like Joseph hang around longer than they should hoping they turn the corner.

Ok? Idk what third and fourth-round picks have to do with drafting a RB round one.

its the mountain west or big sky conference right? Great potential but he's a rd 2 guy at earliest. Some will grade hi m out at rd 3 or 4.

You are crazy, no chance he goes round 3 or 4. Zero

I love him but Im just telling you how teams think. RB is devalued. Trey Benson went later than many thought too. What happened to all those running backs drafted this past draft? Have they done anything?

He is easily better than the backs taken last year.

Preachin to the choir. Im only stating the facts and how teams' scouts and gm's think. Im grab him early rd 2 or late 1st.

 

[Rayman70]

y'all recall Bryan Broaddus pounding the table about us not drafting a rb like the USC kid when we drafted Marist? Where is that USC back? Hurt all year. He cant even sniff the field. Glad BB isnt our team scout or GM. I like Bryan but he was dead wrong.

 

[Rayman70]

he reminds me of James Cook the RB from the Bills.
