[QUOTE="PackFan2, post: 709168, member: 10749"] Aight y'all. Did some film sessions on James Conner. He was on my recommended popup list, I thought i'd look over his work. Found out the kid had cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma) last season... Practiced even when he was still doing chemo. Beating cancer in the off season and came back to have a great senior year. He's one tough SOB. His work ethic is off the charts. Hes the type of player I would want on my football team. Teams captain. A heart touching story for sure, especially for those of us who had loved ones or went through chemo/cancer. [MEDIA=youtube]ibIF1Yt2I-0[/MEDIA] Now, hes a baller. I don't know why people are sleeping on him. He might be the steal of the draft. Y'ALL HEAR ME lol. Hope he proves me right! haha. I'd love to have him on the Packers. [U][B]James Conner:[/B][/U] 6'2, between 230-250lbs. I'd like him at 230. [U][B]Pros:[/B][/U] [LIST] [*]Patient, decisive runner with great vision. [*]Big and physical enough to take hits at the next level. [*]Doesn't seem to have blazing speed but enough to get to second level. [*]He isn't gonna juke or go around you (does have a nice spin move), he'll run you over, fall forward and gain that extra 2-5 yards. [*]Didn't do much catching early in college (8 REC, 0 TD) but in 2016, he showed he can catch (20 REC, 4 TD). [*]Holds on to the ball (had 1 fumble on the season), compared to higher ranked guys like Mixon, Kamara, Foreman , McNichols (all 5 a piece ) this season. [/LIST] [U][B]Cons:[/B][/U] [LIST] [*]Isn't gonna WOW you like Cook or Mixon speed. [*]Just does enough to get to second level then the jet stops. [*]Can he stay healthy? A couple in game injuries. [*]Need to see him block more (didn't see much in the sample of film) [*]Only had one successful year of catching out the back field. [/LIST] [MEDIA=youtube]zdJuOXDMEOc[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]H4JieCwdA50[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]zk5RD3X_q8s[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]FrjFpB5ss0Y[/MEDIA] more vids: [URL]http://draftbreakdown.com/players/james-conner/[/URL] [B]Conclusion:[/B] With Starks cut and Lacy's future in question.
