How fast was this guy...

Yeah, now Dak is just like The GOAT because now he can't run fast either!
We should have hobbled him years ago!

Part of Dak's value when young came out of using his legs. 6 rushing TDs each of his first 3 seasons. 1 rushing TD each of his last 2 seasons. Dak has lost something real to his game.

A lot of guys played major college ball and started a ton of games but this is the NFL where these guys were the best players on their college teams and that is every position in the NFL. The statistics show that little guys in the NFL have a short shelf life.
True, but if he makes it he is going to be a specialty player ala Darren Sproles. He isn't going to be carrying the load.

For every Darren sproles, how many Tevin Coleman's Royce Freeman, Glynn Milburn, tavon austin have there been. When these guys start to age and speed starts to wane and being plastered by guys that are almost double their weight. There is always a chance he is the exception but odds are stacked against him.

Austin , played for a few years and played for us too, he had speed but not good hands and route running I think.

Tevin Coleman played 8 years in the league. Tavon Austin 9 years. Milburn played 9 seasons. Freeman has played 6 years. What's your point? Yes, he has a tall task ahead of him. But it has been done. Of course, none of the guys you mentioned are as small as he is. But it isn't like the dude is brittle.

Any word on how Overshown and the other rookies outside of Mazi and Deuce have looked?

How many career games did he play in? Austin, milburn, , I was thinking of the other Broncos RB Lindsey not Freeman. Lindsey is probably the closest analog to Vaughan. As I said he may be an exception and have a long career like sproles.

This is the most complete team since the 90s right? Or maybe 2006 (I think) when we were the 1 seed. I just wish we'd add another ball carrier. That and hopefully our kicker situation works out.

Just another hater.....they can't help themselves. I saw this kid play live....he's a tough dude. I think he's gonna help us.

Austin couldn't escape press coverage. Defenders learned as long as they could get their hands on him, he wasn't getting open.
