    he wont be great for more than 3 yrs. hope he holds on to that signing bonus.

    is he the best rb or the best runner? how is he out of the backfield? does he pick up blitzes well? i know its a buzzkill, but youve made a pretty big claim. although, i guess, if he's that damn good of a runner who gives a ff about the other things.

    Irrelevant until they get an NFL QB. :hihi:

    Seriously, he's good out of the backfield. I don't think we'll see much of that until the end of the Tarvaris Jackson Era, which should be in the next half hour or so.

    Same for blitz pickup. Why would they want him to pick up a blitz when a solid shot could help them hide their Dolphins-like QB mistakes.

    I think any NFL fan is pulling for this kid to stay healthy and provide lots of highlights on ESPN for the next several years.

    I know I am.

    This guy is a pleasure to watch. The down side of him becoming more prominent in the game is that the media will continue to wear out the lameass story about his daddy having been in prison and unable to see him play in high school and most of college, etc., etc., etc.

    This kid has come a long way in the manner in which he speaks quite clearly to the media. I remember when he was a true freshman at OU he talked so damn fast you couldn't understand most of what he said. He has obviously had some coaching on this and its good to see that going to college for some of these kids actually pays off in something other than sport.
