I evaluate on how I see these guys as pros. I don't really consider 40 times or splits or verticals or any of that stuff. I look at what they did on the field only and how that would project to the NFL. What I see when I watched Barkley (I live in Ohio, so I get the BigTen Network and saw many Nittany Lions' games), is a big RB who is an excellent receiver. With that said, the problem I see is that he only had 20+ carries in only 3 games all season. He only had 100+ yards rushing in 5 games this season. He was used a lot around the goal line which helped him rack up so many touchdowns and pad his stats. As soon as he started receiving a ton of attention and it looked as though he was a runaway for the Heisman, his play really fell off and he was completely shut down as a runner by Ohio State, Indiana and Rutgers. Combining all of this, I see an excellent receiving option out of the backfield and really dependable player near the endzone, but not a guy I see as a featured back. I know most people disagree and that's fine. I know I'm in the vast minority, but It's how I see things and I have to call it like I see it. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is what my eyes tell me.
