Trindon needs to gain a little muscle before he gets cremated by NFL defenders

Warrick Dunn survived for several years running between the tackles. I don't know what they listed him as, but I've seen him on several occasions and he's not much more than 165.
Warrick is a really strong guy, I think he weight is more around 185-190. But either way I think he has a very good shot.

We're going to need to see a little more from Trindn at LSU before he can start thinking about the NFL
he hasn't really established his role on THIS team yet, much less an NFL roster

Whenever Trindon gets the ball, he is always a threat to take it all the way for a touchdown, but I don't see how he could ever be a running back in the NFL. Guys like Sproles and Warrick Dunn have shown how an undersized player can succeed against 260-pound linebackers, but Trindon's style of play is not similar. These guys routinely carried the ball 25-30 times a game, especially in college. I don't believe that Holiday has ever had more than 5 (!) carries in a game before. Even with our solid depth at the position, that is very limited experience.
He doesn't have the lower body strength to break tackles like the aforementioned players. Jacquizz Rodgers is only a freshman, but he has shown that he can keep moving his feet forward when a 220-pound safety is on his back. Trindon's style is entirely different and is based exclusively on his ability to run laterally and avoid contact with defenders.
I think his "best-case scenario" is to end up like Yamon Figurs from the Ravens: run a sub 4.3 forty to increase his profile before the draft and become one of the top return specialists in the NFL. I honestly think he can make MUCH more money by running track in Europe after next season. Keep in mind that he defeated Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix last year.

15 pounds is a big difference.

First of all TH is NOT 5'6". He is more like 5'4"
Second, he is pretty stout for his height. Watch clips of his runs. He breaks a good # of tackles. His low center helps him shed tacklers much bigger than him.

His only chance is as a return specialist, but he will have to learn how to catch the ball first.
