If Parcells could go back, do you think he would of drafted Sproles or Barber ?
Sproles would right now solve our kick of return & punt return problems. And he is a threat to take it home everytime he gets the ball in the backfield. Plus we picked up A-train to back up JJ.
 
Hindsight is always 20/20 and Tyson Thompson came out of nowhere. Had he known what he was going to have in T.T. then he probably would've taken Sproles. A-train was mostly an insurance pickup.
 
That could have been nice. I know I was hoping Dallas would get Sproles if he was available in the 4th. Oh, well. I do like Barber. I think he will develop into a good back up. I am also pleased with Thompson. He did much better on kick off returns. Looks more comfortable out there. I actually like Crayton back on punt returns. It just seems like it is going to take some time to develop the return games.
 
i've said here before that sproles is one we may regret passing on... in fact, when the fourth quarter came around, i thought he was the guy we were going to take...the only thing i can say against the guy is that his career is probably limited to special teams, and a token down or two every other game. but if you could draft dave megett in the fourth right now... wouldn't you?
 
See if Sproles can make it through a full season before saying what if.

Those lil guys dont make it too long it seems.

Not only is he a great KR but he is also a very nice change of pace back.
 
no doubt Sproles is a talented player... but his size will always be a problem as I think he measured 5' 5" at the combine...

He may end up like Quentin Griffin...

In the meantime, he is fun to watch!
