He runs with explosiveness and even at his size was able to absorb contact and finish runs for positive yardage. He absorbs contact well. The only promising contributions he had at lsu involved running the football. I believe he had more total yards as a fr. than he did the other 3 years combined.

I completely agree that he can take hits a lot better than other guys around his size. He even has a bit of toughness to him. But the fact that he is 6'1" but only 185 pounds makes it impossible for him to play RB full-time unless he adds some serious bulk. Adding 20 pounds of muscle to put him just over 200 pounds can drastically change his speed and acceleration.

Huh?!?! Shep goes down at first contact. What have you been watching the last 4 years? I think we all love the guy, but the level of blindness regarding Shep is simply astounding. He just doesn't have the skills to be a solid SEC player, and he has zero chance of making an NFL roster. Why can't we admit that?
