I a lot of potential in Prosise. Like Johnson he is a late converted RB but he had a lot of 100 yard rushing games as well as a lot of game where he racked up air yards. He probably needs work in pass pro but I think he would be great to put with Yeldon. He has prototype size (6'0'' 220lbs) and speed (4.48). Would take him in the 4th if he's still there in a heartbeat.
Maybe in a few years he could be. David Johnson was a 3 down guy when he stepped on the field. And as far as I can tell Johnson was a RB since HS.

Notre Dame RB C.J. Prosise ran a 4.48 forty-yard dash at 6-foot 1/2, 220 pounds during his NFL Combine workout.
His vertical was 35 1/2 inches with a 10-foot-1 broad jump. Prosise's straight-line speed is terrific for a player his size, though many anticipated Prosise performing a bit better on his jumps. Prosise became a full-time running back for the first time in his career this past season. He combined wow plays with lots of learning-curve mistakes, including five fumbles among 156 carries.

So he's essentially Denard Robinson?
Could be a good project pick for someone in round four. He's not ready for much of an immediate role in the league, IMO, and I doubt he's the guy Caldwell wants if he takes a RB in the draft.

If Denard Robinson were 6' 220lbs, was converted from wide receiver instead of QB, and actually played a season in college at RB.

DRob is 6' 215lbs. Not far off...
He is not 6'0'' that is team inflated stats. He's 5'10'' as admitted by himself and his combine measurables.
