Not many other players fit the role like Bush or Sproles. Maybe Kenjon Barner (Org.), D'Anthonty Thomas (Org.) Chris Thompson (FSU) or Andre Ellington (Clem)? Those guys are going to be high draft picks though.


There are plenty of other players you don't know about than just a few of "high picks". The saints have been great at finding those players. Unfortunately shep is not one of them.

Cadet > shep

I don't think Cadet > Shepard.

Shepard at WR is stupid. He should have been a utility player like a Reggie Bush. 10 carries or so and line up at WR 4-5 times a game.

In his career he has 58 carries for 570 yards with 5 TDs. That's 9.8 yards per carry. He's quick and could be a good scat back in the NFL. He's got that same home run potential that Sproles has. If he was a RB for Kansas State or Oregon he'd be a high draft pick if runs a 4.38-4.4.

Give me a good reason, beyond he plays for LSU or he's not a starter for LSU (I'm saying he sucks as a WR and is being misused)
