Yes this source is from Walter Football, but it looks like hes still getting the Fred Taylor comparisons.. Nice! Thoughts?
"Ezekiel Elliott is a first-round prospect despite the fact that the running back position has been devalued. Elliott, who was amazing in Ohio State's championship run, has drawn comparisons to Fred Taylor."
His last three games last year were unbelievable.
He showed huge flashes to end last season, very much looking forward to what he does this year.
He should continue the recent streak of RBs being taken in the 1st round without a doubt. Someone is going to get an absolute game changer.
When I watched him, that's who I thought he looked like. Fred had such a unique looking running style.
Quote:Elliott is faster.
I don't know about that. Fred was legit 4.3.

To be honest, I think Elliott might be a little slower.
Guess one can never tell until his pro day/combine.

40 times don't mean everything. Most guys run a bit slower when you put pads on them. Fred was not one of those guys--his speed held up in pads.
I was actually hoping we held out on drafting a RB high this year so we could of drafted this guy. Oh well, hopefully Yeldon can prove me wrong

Same as last year grabbing 2 WRs last year not knowing we'd be in position to grab Cooper at #3.

I hope we're not picking high enough to be in with a shout for Elliot. He will come out in my opinion as the best RB prospect since Adrian Peterson and will be a top 10 pick, barring injury/suspension of course.

possibly, let's see if he will be the prospect Gurley is
Elliot did real well in the last 3 games. Lets wait and see it for a whole year Remember QB,WR and DE rule the NFL right now.

Say What ? He carried the ball 273 times last season for 1,878 yards and had 28 receptions for 220 yards. That's an average of 20 touches per game or 27% of the workload based on their 74.4 plays per game.
Man that run tonight. 80 yards of beast mode.
Won't be returning punts in the NFL
