Nobody's " butt hurt". I just asked where you got your info. I was interested in reading other sports writers or scouts opinions.

You can see what I said right there. The only way I could have worded it better, would have been to say he isn't a run stuffer (Per Se)... In my opinion.

I'm sure he can stop ball carriers that come his way, but I question whether or not he can take on double teams and clear space for others. His skill set would suggest to me, that someone else should be the space eater, so that he can use his quickness to get up field.

The butt hurt comment was meant for certain people who like to get offended when I say something that is perceived as negative, even though it's just an opinion. Not a declaration.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
