    About what he played at. Hell of a raw prospect.

    Sounds like an "H" back if he can catch.

    Sounds like they tried to move him around and it didn't work, because I don't think Auburn wanted to lose him. So I'd have to see him block or catch consistently before I drafted him for that purpose.

    Stupid fucking journalist! He's from NORTHERN ILLINOIS!

    From what I saw of him he doesn't have much in the passing game, but he appears to be a decent blocker. I saw a game late in the season and I think they said he only had a handful of receptions, don't quote me on that though, just from memory.

    I wonder if he could be coached up to be a good receiver and blocker? With his speed he would be an awesome receiving fullback if he could catch.

    If he is used as an every down tailback he is likely to have a very short career. At his size he will make a big target.

    RB's don't generally have long careers anyway. He's a RB, that's where he should play. Just because he doesn't fit the mold, doesn't mean they should move him. Auburn tried, but couldn't make a square peg fit.
