running backs alreadyhave a short shelf-life in the NFL, why shorten it with another 250+ carries?

Smart move

2nd round pick

Won't get better than that with his size/injury history

Denver would be smart to find a way to get him

Has carried the ball almost 750 times for about 5000 yards.

Time to move on especially when his replacement saw so much action this year.

Oregon will be fine with their stable of backs.

He will break records in college. He will break bones in the nfl. He won't last.. But I guess he could go ahead and get his payday before its over

Someone will have to step up behind Kenjon Barner and DAT... We need DAT catching balls down field so having another reliable option at RB would be ideal.

I never fault rb's for leaving early it's just to risky for you to stay another year in college.

He's going to be "hurt" a lot in the NFL.

He always played that card in college.

Congrats to that kid for an amazing career. I hated seeing him run all over us but he was a hell of a player. Hope he does well at the next level.
