Watching Tulane game, this dude is fast pretty legit. ‘23 draft potential.

Averaged 6-7 ypc entire Tulane career

He’d get hurt in a preseason Saints game and never see the field again.

He’s an animal. I’ve only watched like 2 Tulane games this year and he basically won them both by himself.

he seems fast, but not very big, i dont think he would do well against the speed and size of NFL guys without getting hurt all the time.

but if he put on a lot of weight and beefed up a lot to take such abuse would he still be that fast and nimble?

RB are easy to get so i would pass on fast and nimble guys and look for someone who runs people over. you also need RB to be bigger and stronger to pick up blitzing LB without getting bowled over

I've watched every Tulane back since the late 80s. He's 2nd behind Matt Forte. He's an NFL player, he's probably too small to be an every down guy but he's the most explosive RB we've had that I can remember. When he's healthy he's as good as anyone in the country.

Obviously I am biased but I agree he isn’t a every down player in the NFL but their is a place for him in the league. Dude would be deadly in Kansas City’s offense.

His side to side explosiveness is nice. He is for sure an nfl back.

Spears is on the skinnier side but has some power.

He’s probably a pass catching back

USC’s defense is terrible, but 195 yards on 12.2 YPC and 4 TD’s is quit impressive.

He’s definitely going to have a chance to be a contributor in the league

Can/has he returned kicks?

Seems like a T. Cohen change of pace type of back.

Watched 5 games this year.

After those 5 (4 before today) I was convinced he needed an invite to the Heisman ceremony. He was phenomenal. Great cut and explosion. Watch the 61 yard run against usc today in the 3rd quarter.

Fun to watch

On the postgame show, they asked Coach Fritz where he would best fit in the NFL and he said he’d like to see him go to the Saints. Maybe he can help convince the front office to take a chance on him.

or Kansas City like someone already mentioned. He'd be a nice compliment to Edwards-Helaire, they can alternate because they're both good at running and catching passes out of the backfield.

I hope we draft him and I hope our NFC South rivals draft the players from the USC defense.

There's no reason to believe he couldn't be just as effective as an Austin Ekeler, Tony Pollard, Devin Singletary, Raheem Mostert etc.
