I'm familiar with this guy. He led Sam Houston to the FCS National Championship Game his sophomore and junior seasons.

He's not a "workhorse" back, and he's not a Darren Sproles replacement. He's comparable to Pierre Thomas, but probably not as versatile.

quote:

Flanders rushed for 1,430 yards and 14 touchdowns last season.

He fnished his career with 5,664 rushing yards and 420 points scored with 66 rushing touchdowns.

Flanders is the all-time leading rusher in Southland Conference history.


quote:

The 5-foot-9, 210-pounder ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds at his campus Pro Day workout, improving upon his 4.75 clocking at the NFL scouting combine.

At the combine, he bench pressed 225 pounds 20 times and had a 32-inch vertical leap and a 9-5 broad jump.

so he's not a workhorse, he's not a replacement for DS, and he's not versatile... What does he do? Run in a straight line?

So, he is not comparable to anyone?

Looks like a potential UDFA. It says that in 2011 he had 34 catches for 414 yards.

Best idea ever:

Lets stop adding more RBs to our overcrowded stable unless its a "sproles-like" RB. What's the point of 3-4 RBs on the same squad that can do the same thing?
