He will get a look as a free agent because of his measurables, but he was not productive enough to get drafted. Good luck to him, he is talented and a great Tiger.

one of the best things about this draft will be the end, when RS isn't drafted, may or may not get a free agent look .. get cut within days and disappear from football, so we no longer get these dumb questions ... the guy never lived up to his billing at LSU ... not a major crime .. but just wasn't on the level of a lot of teammates .. Rivals missed badly on him ..

You know his average per touch? LOL. He was never given a chance to shine.

he was given plenty of opportunities in his career .. and he never panned out .. face it .. the guy couldn't turn the corner in the SEC .. he just didn't have the speed .. in the 2010 alabama game, he was run down from behind with an 8-yard lead by a DB that Rueben Randle left in the dust for a touchdown .. and the guy had the angle on RR .. he just never displayed SEC speed on play-by-play basis .. he showed flashes here and there .. but give me a fricking break on the guy never being given a chance to shine .. that's a crock ..

He had four years, including a senior year where he couldn't see the field over receivers that were decidedly underwhelming and underclassmen. Perhaps he should have put as much effort into learning to catch and run routes properly as he did into whining on Twitter?

you really need the standard deviation, median, mode, skew and kurtosis of his touches to fully understand this stat as it relates to RS.

Does the arena league have a draft?

4-1yd runs and 1- 99yd runs = 20.5 ypc.

I bet if you look at his stats, you'll see a lot of short gains offset by the occasional 60 yd carry.

I'd rather Alfred Blue consistently get 5 yds every time he touches the ball.
