I wanna get physical, physical (mock)

Not to hijack this thread that is obviously about Roy Williams and his cap impact, but here's my opinion on Royster...

Coming into the season he was easily going to be PSU's career rushing leader barring injury. He was a senior, with a team that didn't have an upper classman QB. What does he do? He skips the Lift for Life (the intense workout session over the summer which is for charity - some may remember the vids of Sean Lee at that event where he tore it up). He shows up to preseason camp overweight and soft (apparently he thought some "extra weight" would help him survive more carries). He is NOT elected captain. He plays timidly all year except when he was approaching the rushing record, and that was against a horrific Michigan defense. He periodically rants on social media sites about the team and generally displays a poor attitude.

Tony Hunt was a better college back in my opinion and he flamed out with the Eagles because he was too busy going out to night clubs and not learning the playbook. You have a guy like Choice who was a natural leader already on the Dallas team (spats with Jerry aside). I wouldn't bring Royster into the equation. There are dozens of other candidates for mid/late round picks.

I don't care which RB we take down there. We're just going to need a bigger back if we cut Barber IMO.
 
I think the kid from Wisconsin will be a late round pick or UDFA, possible we could bring him in.
