Devin Neal's cuts are deadly.


the fact that he has cuts is great... Miller doesn't, at all... he's a straight line runner, which is why I hated the pick then, still hate it now

Miller's problem isn't ability, it's availability. He's a talented RB.

Great pick.


I had actually posted about him during the season that I would like if we drafted him, but I can’t seem to find it. I was able to see a couple of his games this season, he’s a tough kid. KM seems to really be targeting high character, high floor guys…..which I think is smart for his first draft.

Great value pick and Miller is officially on notice.

Put out or get out. Life in the NFL.

Pooka was a bit of a headcase and was polarizing in the KU fan base. Devin Neal is by all accounts a great dude and probably one of the most beloved KU athletes of all time. Can't compare the two.

reminds me alot of PT. greats vision, sets up his blockers, and has great balance. but lacks breakaway speed.

Why do I feel like he's a Kamara-esque RB. He has patience and waits for blocks, and deceptive speed. Reminds me a lot of how AK runs the ball. I like his foot work and he wraps the ball up when he's about to get hit.

He ran for more yards and unlike Pooka he is at a playable NFL size.

This guy has some solid potential. He’s got the size and skills. All time leading rusher at Kansas. Not as physically gifted as Kamara but I see some of the same style. Good vision, doesn’t rush blockers, balanced, lotta YAC , salsa feet. He probably lacks the top end speed and athleticism to ever become a long term starter. But he’s a really good value that late

I’m told his hams are extremely pliable

I thought we would grab Pooka a few years ago. This is even better
