For those in the know, can you see him being a serviceable back in the NFL?

He's not a speedster but he has a lot of heart. He looks like LT with his haircut

i happen to be in the know... with about 28 NFL teams.


they are all fighting over him.


but seriously, i think he has a future in the NFL. He keeps his legs moving which is always good.

ftr I think every RB has a possible future in the NFL. They seem to come from everywhere nowadays. But he certainly looks like he should.

I mean can you see a difference between him and say Keiland?

prob a late round pick

maybe can be a backup

I dont think he has the speed to be very good in NFL. plus he dances too much for being so slow

yeah just about every starting RB at a major college will have a career in the NFL...


the league goes through them very quickly... shelf life of a RB is like 3 years on average. (except for a few great ones)

so there is always a need and its an easy position to learn in the NFL.

is he slower than Hillis? Top end speed is no longer a prerequisite for being a starting NFL back anymore.

The elite ones have it, but it's still pretty rare.

Absolutely! If Danny woodhead is an NFL back then Ridley can make it.

Hillis was pretty fast for his size. Plus he runs harder and is stronger.

i think Ridley dances too much. When he is decisive that is when he usually picks up chunks of yardage. If he did that more i think he would be better suited in the NFL

you never know what type of runner he might become with NFL coaching or different line play. I just know that he can pick up some tough yards when he puts his head down

Thing about Ridley, he has great vision! Can find the hole, good enough speed, keeps moving forward, plays physical.....Emmitt Smith like in a few ways....main thing for me re Ridley is his vision, he can find the hole, where other backs can't

Youve always been a Ridley hater. He will be an NFL back period.
