Sorry but Ivory has had one good (okay, decent) season (okay, semi-season) in his entire football career.

Let's not go anointing him or anything.

True.. but he is fun to watch and really is a good back..I dont think we have seen the last of C.H....lets see what happens with his rehab..he might really help us ..like last year..

He was an UDFA for a reason. He could not stay healthy in college and can't now. A back can have all the talent in the world, but if he cannot stay on the field he is useless. Ivory just may be this guy. His body is just not built to match his heart and talent. Additionally the injury he had is very hard for even a resilient player to come back from, it has ended many careers and is one of the more serious injuries a player in his position can get. The cards are stacked against him.

He went to Tiffin,,,thats why he was a UDFA..you can bet if he played at say Boise St or Texas..he would have been a 2nd or 3rd round pick..that has nothing to do with it...he made the team by making yards...

Ivory rushed for 757 yds and 4 TD's in his ENTIRE college career.

You call that a 3rd round pick? lol

Don't sleep on Bell. He's a longshot for the 4th spot, but I like what I hear about him.
