Both are going to be early 1st round draft picks and both are going to thrive in the NFL. Yeldon is a great back. HIll is also. Yeldon a little more speed and HIll a little more power. Couldn't go wrong with either one of them.

Not if he doesn't have a all American line to run behind.before you slob the yeldon knob go back and watch the lanes that are 6 yards wide he runs through.

Yeldon and it's not close.

he's the best I've seen since DMAC.

He glides and cuts effortlessly and runs with great body lean and delivers fricking blows on defenders.

He's unreal. Way better than Lacy.

I think he and Blue have similar running styles.

Yeldon could be another Mark Ingram. We won't really know til he is in the NFL.

Great comparison and I agree. Yeldon and Blue are eerily similar in every way. Same kind of size and skillset.

I think Yeldon has the better career but both will be studs. Yeldon is just a better talent and will be used a lot. If Hill gets the same kind of touches he has since taking over this year then it will be close. I just don't think that happens. Hilliard will come back and take some carries and then when Fournette gets here, he'll take carries.

Yeldon, but it is close. I could tell Yeldon was a special back after watching him carry the ball a half dozen times. He is super shifty and still has power.

his conversion of the 3rd down before Amari Cooper's game winning TD was nothing short of spectacular. He carried the defender 4 yards to the 1st down line.

I was thinking the same thing. He runs just like Blue but with a little more power.

Yeldon and Gurley will probably have better college careers ...Hill will destroy them in the NFL

Hill's TD runs vs USCe and TA&M were pretty darn good as well.
