It's amazing he's having a better pro career than Michael Clayton.

I was actually impressed by the maturity in Winston's comments. He seems to have grown up a bit from the crab leg smuggler he was at FSU.

Always glad to hear Shep doing well though.

still to this day the great waste of talent in LSU history, Miles should have been fired for this alone.. I lived 3 doors down from him and have known him for years. Outstanding young man raised by a fantastic family. He loved LSU and still does. but I remember after his freshman year him telling me that he didnt think he would get a shot, he never did.. Wish we would have had Canada when he was here.. that kid could have been special... thats why i cant stand miles..

From his high school clips, RS had great vision and speed to burn (4.46 at LSU's pro day).

He had 104 rushes for 716 yards at LSU (6.88 ypc), with longs of 50, 69 and 78 yards. LSU's offense during this period was incredibly predictable--and experimenting with him in a wildcat offense package during a period of horrible qb play could have worked out well. With no wr experience, RS needed the ball with the ability to see the field in front of him.

He clearly could have more yards and TDs in another college offense. But he'd probably be at the same place in his NFL career, though maybe with a larger rookie paycheck. Props to him for hard work. never being a prima donna and making it.

For Les to have not called for ONE pass from Shep in his 4 years is a fireable offense. The embodiment of how lost LSU was on offense that his skillset didn't matter to the staff enough to try it ONCE. Same story with not giving Jarrett Lee ONE drive in the MNC.

Shep has heart and is a great ambassador. It's no mistake that he has been in the NFL as long as he has, college stat lines mean so little.
