kpholmes Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Dan Patrick was talking about this earlier... While he agrees that being a "white running back" has affected his perception, he says most teams are likely shying away from him because of his physical running style that is going to limit his career.

BearBroncos Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 These gems get over looked just for the mere fact that they put race in as a factor over their athleticism. Somebody in the second round will be getting a steal for this cat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Smoke and mirrors people, smoke and mirrors. This kid can flat out run with power and heart. GM's know that and if it takes defelecting his talent with a "white running back" story so be it. Talent scouts know what this kid is and don't for one minute think they arent hoping to get him when and if he falls. White, black or funny lookin, this kid put up numbers with the best of them and will do so for some team in the NFL. That said, they will have to teach him to run lower or he will get lit up. That can be taught though. He will also punish some tacklers along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I just hope he doesn't end up on the Vikings/Lions/Bears. I want so badly to root for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
