He will still go pro though.

Ridley will, too. But I agree with you that he will play on Sundays in some capacity.

I'm just saying that if LSU had Devine (in an RB rotation, mind you), he wouldn't have put up 1400 yards in the SEC like he did last year in the ACC. He would have finished well behind an elite Mark Ingram, and behind solid, but not elite college RB's like Anthony Dixon, Ben Tate, Montario Hardesty, Dexter McCluster. He may have also finished in numbers behind Tebow. Ridley in rotation this year even had more TD's (14) than Devine had in his best year (13).

If you are going to be small, at least have power like Ray Rice & MJD. Speed & shiftiness will get you 1400 yards in the ACC, but it probably won't in the SEC and even less of a chance of that happening in the pros. FYI, McCluster in the pros got switched to WR.
