re: Patrick Queen, RB

I did high school radio for playoff games and saw Queen and White in action, both played both ways.

Queen was good, but did not stand out as much as White. Livonia had several college prospects that year.

White and Queen could play on either side of the ball in colege. Had LSU had a need at rb when White came out, I am sure they would have played him there. Once White hit the secondary, he was unstoppable. That said, he was ridiculous at linebacker, he blew up every run play in the playoff game I watched and I remarked often he should play lb in college. I would still have some third and short plays where I would let him play offense a few plays a game. White could play running back in the pros too.

White agreed to play lb at LSU to get on the field faster. It was a smart move.

Queen would be higher up the depth chart at running back. LSU has White, Taylor and Phillips ahead of Queen, with good freshman coming in.

At rb there is more of a wide open competition, Queen might see more playing time there. He is a versatile athlete and if I were him I would move where staff thought I had the best chance to see the field.
