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.
He is no were a completed project and has area he needs to improve in and being at Stanford does limit these areas. I want to see what he does in the off season. I am betting 5 to maybe 10 more pounds of muscle.

It is so hard to pick on the kid because he is always on the field and does so much.

That is why went with PT and Wes to compare with. If PT and Wes genes were used to produce a child it would McCaffrey.

sure he would lacking in areas from both but you have admit being just a sophomore he will be fun to watch develop.
