Shame he another year to go. but trading down in the draft and getting picks next year with the hope he comes out as a Jr would be ok with me.

Would love to see Stanford use him more in the passing game next year but that is not their brand of football.

i am a fan of his ability to block also. But just like using him more in a passing game that is not an area he will get many chances to improve on.

So whats not to like? no reason putting the kid under a microscope to find out. He could be the player to replace what the saints have missed since PT left. but even better.

They use him in the passing game a ton. Stanford IS a team predicated on the run, but he's not the type of back they're accustomed to. He's not very big and would not do well at the next level running the ball. I am certain he would struggle in the SEC, running the ball, but in the PAC-12 it's all about offense.

He just doesn't really have the frame, from the looks of him, to carry much more weight. So he'd have to be a third down back or a slot receiver. He's not physical like PT, so while he might be slippery, I can easily see him being a Reggie Bush type who would make some plays but frustrate everyone with how easily he goes down. Just my opinion.

If it were a late round pick next year, maybe. But someone is going to bite on his numbers and take a reach.
