No offense to Copeland, but he better find out how to do something more than smother a guy in the hole. The catch against Bama was the exception not the rule. He has a ways to go as an NFL full back.


what more do you want him to do to be an NFL-ready fullback? Neal was considered one of the best if not the best for about a decade and about 90% of what he did was block in the run game. I think JC's got that down pat, and has shown he can catch. everybody isn't Moose Johnston.

I'm sure if he were to be able to prove he can catch a ball out of the fullback position, it would do nothing but improve his draft. That being said, I'm not sure he can catch a ball coming out of the backfield.

A lot of teams don't even carry a Lorenzo Neal type of player. It's a passing league now.
