[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1027458, member: 18006"] I just read a couple of scouting reports on him the other day, and I'm intrigued by the guy. His nickname is "Man Child"; he was recruited by the Badgers as a linebacker. 6'2", 245, 4.40 forty, 6.91 3-cone, but a 4.6 20-yard shuttle... avergaed 6.8 runs per carry as a freshman, tied for 1st in the country. Powerful enough to move the pile when running between the guards, explosive enough to bust tackles, fast enough to go the distance anytime once he punches through the line. Compares closely to Jonathan Taylor. Positives included - - decisive, good vision. sees his hole and hits it, no wasted time - explodes out of the backfield, his 10 yard split time is just 1.49 seconds - freakish physical frame; very powerful and difficult to bring down; just wreaks havoc on defensive backs. very difficult to bring down solo, and churns his legs powerfully through contact - excellent balance, surprisingly graceful and flexible for someone that size - reliable hands, good checkdown option Negatives included - - poor route runner, outside of basic checkdowns. can catch, but not a threat to get open - poor pass protection - poor agility; doesn't make many people miss. relies instead on making them pay for hitting him. - not very quick coming off the ball, start and stop in the backfield is slow, which gives the D-line more time to sniff out the play and kill it before it develops - has no "second gear", won't break away from many pursuers. His top end is good, but once he hits it, that's it - very stiff hips, limiting his ability to cut and dance away from a hit He's raw in a few key areas, but the thing is, he just turned 20 2 weeks ago. He will start his rookie season in the NFL as a 20 year old kid, quite likely the youngest player in the league. What I like about that is that an NFL program might coach him up to a whole nother level, plus, he has almost no wear and tear on his body. If Green Bay likes him, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the 3rd. Maybe even our first 3rd. As punishing a runner as he is, he's pretty one-dimensional. But I think he might make a great replacememnt for AJ (sorry, AJ, I do love you), and I can't stop picturing him wearing a Packer jersey and hammering the Niner D-line in the divisional round.
