A back who can't pass protect doesn't have much of a future in the modern NFL.

Sorry guys. Undrafted.

You people need to go back and watch some film of him this year, I did last night.

His pass protection was much improved and he did run up the middle successfully.

People like to post on here that he can't pass block or run between the tackles because of shite that happened two years ago.

That, and the lack of opportunities he's had to prove you motherfrickers wrong, mostly due to having four other stud running backs.

I don't think he's just an outside runner, I think he was the best outside runner LSU had and that's how they used him.

I agree that he runs inside better than a lot of people think he does. I think he reads blocks as well as anyone in LSU's backfield not named Jeremy Hill.

Which is why I think he could be a pretty good kick returner at the next level. But not a RB.

But the fact of the matter is he's not a high football IQ guy and never has been. He has done nothing to show that he can handle anything more than 15 carries a game at the COLLEGE level.

You guys thinking he could be a feature back in the NFL are insane. You guys thinking he could be a situational back are more on point, but still off the mark.

Dude's a kick returner at the next level.

Not hating. He's still getting a paycheck.
