Re: 2013 NFL Draft Prospects

just remember those aren't NFL defenses he's doing that to. reggie bush looked even better doing the same type of thing, but the speed advantage really isn't as great in the nfl. still looks like a good player though.

Yeah, but can you put it against the guy because he's crushing defenses in the NCAA? He's the most elusive and quickest receiver/running back/returner in the NCAA right now. That's what makes him so special. He can play WR, RB, and returner.

Just his speed and vision alone with RG3 would put the Redskins offense at a level that everyone would shit their pants preparing for.

You can't tell me you wouldn't rather RG3 be pitching the ball to him then Banks, or Austin returning kicks for us.

BTW, Another 300 yardage performance by him today. He scored the winning TD, and even had another kick return TD called back today... He's a monster.

Your right, because him like all college players are going against college defenses, much like the current nfl guys had to do when they were in college...

yes, and if he keeps up at that pace, we won't be getting him, so it's a moot point either way. of course he's better than banks and austin, who, if i'm not mistaken WEREN'T DRAFTED.

bush and bennet prove that speed alone don't translate, though it does look like he has other skill, it's not like we'll be getting him unless he gets hurt or starts sucking.

Speed alone does not translate by itself. But watching Austin, he doesn't have only speed, he runes routes pretty well, solid hands, and has open field moves. Could be a great player similar to the role that Harvin, Sproles, or Cobb do for their team.

Austin may not go 1st round because of doubts of his skills translating, his value as a slot receiver and his size. Jackson, Sproles and Cobb were are drafted outside the 1st round and have similar skill sets to Austin.
