Quote:If he's there in the second round and no one else graded as high, hard to pass up.

 

Just about every team wanted to move him to LB coming out of HS.  Then he goes and becomes one of the best college RBs ever.

 

Not sure why some still refuse to recognize him for what he is.  Special.  At RB.

 

I can't stand Alabama.  But I have the sense to have proper respect for those who have earned it.

Nobody doubts what he did in college, however college production doesn't automatically lead to NFL success.

 

How many other RBs have come from Bama and Wisconsin, who destroyed college football, only to be nothing more than average at best, in the NFL? He isn't going to have the advantage of playing on one of, if not the most talented team around, like he did at Bama. As we all know, everybody is good in the NFL.

 

Like I said, I see him as another Brandon Jacobs type RB. Get him in with a group of RBs, where you can bring Henry in, in the 3rd and 4th quarter to pound down on a defense while having the lead. I think he'll find his best success in that kind of role. Not a guy I'd spend a 1st or 2nd round draft pick on. He simply does not create his own production, like a good RB must do in the NFL.
