He is a mid round guy who will end up playing longer than most drafted in the 1 and 2.

If we weren't playing on such displays then I think we get him in the 3rd as a steal. Now, every other scout saw the game, including that spin move. That being said, anyone but Atlanta

Yikes I love me some CEH but the dude ain’t going in the first 4 rounds. Think he’s a 5th - UDFA

yeah i'm not hating on him but he's going to be like 5-6 and run a slow 40

he's a 3rd down back/receiving option and may be great in that role for a decade in the NFL. much more of a pierre thomas than a MJD

Darren Sproles with a spin move. He would feast in this offense.

Have you ever watched Clyde play? Darren Sproles? Are you kidding me? This couldn’t be further from reality

I'd love another Pierre Thomas once Kamara needs big money and can't stay here.

I agree that the Darren Sproles comparison is just.. wrong. MJD comparison is more apt but I'm not sure he'll have the career MJD did.

Dude hardly ever goes down first contact. That spin move is a thing of beauty and he kept multiple drives alive yesterday.

That pass he picked off the ground (not an easy catch) and then fought for the last 5 yards to get the first on that third down might well have been the play of the game.

Kid is a warrior.

He’s a Thomas/Addai combo and shiftier than both.

Weird is that I thought he was pretty quick out of hs, the weight he added seems to have slowed him

Honestly, his last touch of the ball in the game reminded me of Deuce carrying the whole Eagles defense into the end zone during the playoffs.

CEH knew a first down would ice the game and he would not be denied!

Incredible play.

Honestly he should.

RBs overall have short NFL lifespans and they are not highly valued in today’s NFL.

No matter what he may or may not do as a senior at LSU his stock won’t be any higher than it is now.

He should go get paid and not take another year of hits for free.




Now as an LSU fan I’d be ecstatic I’d he came back.

Haha yea this is crazy. I get there’s a lot of homers. Lot of drunk homers. CEH had the game of his life. And LSU had their biggest win in a decade

I love LSU and I love CEH.


But I’d bet anybody here he’s not drafted in the first 3 rounds. He doesn’t have any NFL draftable qualities. I DO THINK he can help an NFL team since he is just a grinder that won’t quit. I think he’ll have a solid pro career, most LSU RB’s do... but those types of players don’t get drafted in the top 3 rounds.

He has that "I'm really a 3rd rounder, but some team is gonna jump into late 2nd for me" feel.


Agree to disagree. I love the guy but he has a better chance of going really late than really early. Just the nature of the position and league. If we want him we’ll absolutely have a chance to get him.

Not the fondest LSU fan by far, but he showed you vs Alabama (and in every top 10 ranked game so far) is that he is a true 3 down back. He can play in all 3 phases.

If he combines well, there's a team that's gonna throw a late 2-3 on him. He isn't the most explosive, nor is he the strongest, but he's that kind of rb that most teams try to have on their roster.

He’s definitely special and a stud. Will take over a game and love his emotions
