Like I said, he's a special teamer that might intially make it as a return guy or a gunner, but his running style and frame are going to get him blown up in the NFL if you line him up in a backfield on a regular basis.

Did you watch those highlight videos? How can you say he's not quick? He runs very similar to Charles and Johnson. He makes one cut and EXPLODES through the hole.
Get killed at the next level? People need to throw that argument out the window already. There are tons of fast, shifty players who play at 195-200 lbs. He's the same freaking weight as Charles and still has room to grow. Like I said before, he's not an everydown back, no, But he would be incredibly explosive when used by commitee (which is what we do) with Charles and McCluster.
The amount of speed we could put on the field would be insane.
