I'll say it once more.....Darren Sproles is Trindon Holliday plus ten pounds. Same running style and with coaching from a good RB coach someday Trindon could play a serious role on a team much like Sproles does.

Not true. Sproles at K-State looked like the second coming of Barry Sanders. Trindon is fast, but he is not in Sproles' league football wise. If he was, they would use him more.

Tridon is super fast, but he has no jukes or anything.

laugh if you want to I don't care, you haven't seen this guy run like I have. He gets in the game and everyone knows he will get the ball and the guy still gets 10 yards. You don't know his character, work ethic, and toughness. Nothing rattles the guy and he's ALWAYS positive. One of the few bright spots on our shitty team this season. I am bias, yes, but I make this assessment based on the fact that I know what kind of person and player the guy is.

I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it in the NFL as a punt returner/KO returner. Teams are getting to where they keep someone on their roster just for that purpose.

Having said that, he might get killed in preseason also.

he has no jukes or anything?....no, the coaches design run's around him to run in lanes. They don't want him juking. He's also plays for a terrible coach to be a small back. Miles is in love with 240 pound backs. It's the same thing for Keiland, hell Joseph Addai wouldn't have seen the field as much if Brousard and Vincent weren't hurt as much as they were. Which one of those is a pro bowler?? 2 out of those 3 are working at pizza hut.

Sproles better comparison to Sanders as stated. Trindon is way faster than Sproles.

lester, I said in spite of my bias I can make an assessment better than you can because I know the guy. I know what the guy is made of besides the speed or size. That means a whole hell of a lot to NFL GMs. They will find a spot for him, and how can you say he will get killed when all of you have been saying that for the past 3 years and he hasn't had one injury. A sprained ankle a year ago, and that was because one of his teammate fell on his foot at practice bc he was a dipshit walk-on.

It's not that they don't want him, it's that he cant. He is a great PR/KR because if he gets a lane he is gone. He is not a RB. He can't make a defender miss.

taking an NFL hit and taking a hit against your shitty district foes with 5'7" 170# linebackers are 2 different things

No one can coach instincts. Trindon does not have the moves to play RB.

SEC linebackers, not my shitty district linebackers. Are you a fricking scout? Name one SEC linebacker or safety that has cleaned this guy's clock. Name one time where he has shyed away from a single SEC defender and took them on. And yea, i'd say work ethic and character do matter just a little bit.

dont hink he would be good running back but i think he should touch ball 5 or 6 times a game excluding returns. and should be on field more than just when he gets ball. decoy at least!

Well like everything else, the guy will continue to prove you guys wrong. If any of you on this board get a job as a professional scout I would listen. Not saying I am, but I know this guy can play RB

not knockin him, but who can he play for in NFL at his weight in backfield?? I think he is a great athlete, but a lilo too small for NFL running back. u have to have it all for NFL size, speed, heart, and strength!!
