-Where is this speed from the combine, he looked a lot like Larry Johnson in his last couple seasons here to me.

-How many broken tackles in that entire video? One on the sideline, maybe one where the guy bounced off of him but he still got tackled for a loss.

-Hilarious that one of the first plays showcasing his "power" was a DB stuffing him near the goal line. He probably had 30-40 lbs on that guy.

-Don't forget about Alabama's line, some of those holes were huge, if this guy really had football talent he should have blown up last year.

-If he tries to dance around and tippy toe like he does behind blockers in the NFL he will get lit up and we'll see that fumbling problem shortly. Priest Holmes he is not...

Overall a very disappointing video and nothing I saw looked any more impressive than what Droughns did in preseason last year. Hopeful he can be used effectively and Reid has a fairly solid record when it comes to picking RBs, but I am very skeptical at this point. Would have much preferred a talented DB/ILB/WR with that pick without digging in to who was available.




He played at Arkansas
