Looks like Darren Sproles will be SD's version of Dante Hall

LITTLE BIG MAN
San Diego also drafted a running back who turned out to be the team's most impressive rookie at the minicamp. Rookie back Darren Sproles wowed the Chargers fans in attendance and, even more important, San Diego's defenders. Cornerback Quentin Jammer said the 5-foot-6, 181-pound Sproles was so small and so quick that he was impossible to see. Every time Sproles touched the football, fans cheered and defenders froze. Problem is, with LaDainian Tomlinson and Jesse Chatman in San Diego's backfield, Sproles might not be able to touch it very often at running back, other than on third down. So San Diego is planning to use Sproles as its punt and kick returner -- positions where there is a decided need. Eric Parker returned punts last year, but San Diego needs to preserve him. Tim Dwight returned kicks before moving on to New England. Look for Sproles on special teams. But also look for him to make the occasional appearance out of the backfield.

There can be only one Dante Hall.

[Eleazar]

More like J.J. Moses at best.

Fumblemidget is the next Jesse Haynes.

[DJay23]

minus the part where he actually holds onto the ball.

[Andoverer]

There can be only one Dante Hall.

And mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery.
I'm sure they will try their best to clone him via Sproles.

[Demonpenz]

sproles is a probably a smaller version of dante hall

[jiveturkey]

He'll definately improve their return game when he faces teams that don't have Scanlon.

[yeti]

....or Boomer.

Fumblemidget is the next Jesse Haynes.That's rep right there.

I don't see why anyone thinks he can make a difference in the return game for any team in the NFL. He had only one kick/punt return for a touchdown in his whole career at K-State (Kansas in '03). He had the fumble problems last season that eventually led to him getting replaced by Yamon Figurs at punt returner. His stride is too short in the open field, making it easy for him to get caught from behind, and, by NFL standards, he doesn't have breakaway speed.

[penchief]

Dustin Colquitt is the anti-Sproles.

[Fire Me Boy!]

....or Boomer.
Yeah... thank God for crazy white guys running down the field on kickoffs!

[Saulbadguy]

Bookmarked. Haters. :p

[beavis]

I think his career will be as big as Rich Scanlon's.

[Eleazar]

Bookmarked. Haters. :p

You gonna bump this when he's running wild in the Mini-NFL?

[Ebolapox]

tell me... NOW

no, wait... CLONE me and tell my CLONE

I love reading this shiot from MUtt fans. The guy ran roughshod over the Big 12 for 4 years. He'll find his niche.

273 yards. Thats all you gotta say.

[Frazod]

Bring it.

I hope Grigsby hits him so hard that his little GayState ass gets launched all the way back to Manhattan.

[Wile_E_Coyote]

yeah! little boy in blue can smurf a Colquitt punt

[Red Dawg]

Sproles is a wanna be! Hall FOREVER!

[Prince22]

I liked watching this kid at K-State. He was pretty damn impressive. But I dont think he's going to do much as a pro.

[mcan]

I go to KState, so I get into this conversation all the time. I had a big argument with a guy after I said something like this:

"Darren won't get onto the field at running back, and he won't be able to make NFL linebackers miss by spinning off off hits like he did in the Big 12. The only way I see him making a big contribution is if he pulls a Dante Hall and switches to WR/Kick Returner. It'll take him years to learn how to be a decent wideout, and he might never be a good one, but he is very elusive and could be a threat at returning punts and kicks if you give him NFL calibre wedges and blocking."

The guys was like, "No, there going to use him like Dave Megget was used on the Giants as a third down back."

I figured he'd probably been reading that off of some magazine. Why the hell would you take Tomlinson off the field on third downs? Is he just NOT versitile enough? :rolleyes:

[DaWolf]

We'll see how good he looks when the pads go on and the hitting is for real.

Marty Schottenheimer hyping up a running back before the season begins is no big shock (Jesse Haynes, Greg Hill)...

Frank Moreau is a 20 carry a game guy...

[DaWolf]

I dunno why, but i feel like posting a Harvey Williams action pic right now...

[Deberg_1990]

Announced he’s retiring after this season. Congrats on a great Career

Fantastic player.

[ThaVirus]

The best all-purpose player of all time?

[Buehler445]

I’m no KSU guy but this dude was good. Criminally mismanaged by SD. But he’s a hell of a player.

Sproles sucks and Moreau is good?



Brilliant!! :D
