Meh. Guys miss tackles. And it's not like both Lacy and Yeldon aren't both going to be very high running back Draft picks. And you're thinking of it in a vacuum. It's not like it was a one on one tackling drill . Bamas dominant run game as a whole had a huge effect on his game. And like I said they did that to quite a few NFL prospects most notably all the guys in the uga front 7.

While that is true, one would think that the nation's best LB would make some plays in the NCG. And he just flat out didn't...and some of those weren't because he was blocked and Bama used a good scheme; he was just looked bad and was straight up missing tackles.

Will somebody please let me know what is the best part Manti's ability? He was totally oversold thanks to playing for Notre Dame and having 5 gift interceptions fall into his lap. I think he earned 2 of the 7 that he had. His tackle numbers were slightly above average for a middle linebacker. So again I ask, what's he's key selling point as a pro prospect?
