boohyah Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I don't see that translating to the NFL. I can't see him overrunning guys in the pros and he's pretty small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Pats will get him in the 4th round and he'll play for 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 He's really athletic and there will be a role for him in the NFL. I am just not sure how high he goes in a stacked RB class. His brother was a WR at Duke and signed with Oakland as a UDFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I think we should sign him and watch him have two really good years for us... then dump him to make room for Mark Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid looks like he's always a step ahead of defenders.... Ahmad Bradshaw was small... Sproles was small... and we can keep naming guys who are small... it's not the size of the dog in the fight it's the size of the fight in the dog...

Chuck Wagon Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 He fucking killed my Hawks in the Rose Bowl...right from the get go...he will be an outstanding pro. Love for him to be a Giant just to get to root for him. C. Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 He seems to have great vision and he's fluid in and out of his cuts without getting fancy and dancing. He seems decisive. He follows his blockers and sees the blocking opening up daylight. Some of the best route running I've ever seen from a running back in the passing game. Watch at about 52 seconds and you'll see him make a defenders knees buckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just the slides they chose, as I recall against IOWA, he was breaking through some tackles at the line of scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The Pats will pick him up, he'll become an outlet in the run game and passing downs for Brady. People will still say he's shit. Wish him all the luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I don't think he's shit. I just don't think he'll be great as a pro. Nas compares him to Bradshaw. Bradshaw was a much stronger guy and hit the line hard, this guy is going to need big gaps to run through because he's not going to have much impact at the line of scrimmage. Plus, do you guys honestly think he's going to outrun NFL backfields like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just the slides they chose, as I recall against IOWA, he was breaking through some tackles at the line of scrimmage. Not all that much if I recall correctly........they just got him in space and we were fucked....our guys were slipping and sliding all over the place and never really got a good shot at him.....fucker is quick. I think this guy could be a 3 down Dave Maggett in the NFL....he would be devastating in NE or Green Bay......its also not like there is a bunch of between the tackles running going on in that league outside of Dallas and Minnesota anyway. More good news for Iowa fans....this kids all world QB brother...just signed with Michigan....he is built like Dad (6'4")....runs like mom. He'll win the Heisman with Harbaugh teaching him the ropes.

Treehugger Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Christian McCaffrey irked by stereotypes of white athletesBy Chase Goodbread "When you read about white athletes these days and white skill possession receivers specifically, one word you'll always find is tough," McCaffrey told the publication. "You'll rarely see explosive, athletic, stuff like that. ... You get a little bit upset: 'I ran the same 40 as this guy, and you're calling him ... .' People do the eye test and underestimate me, so I do play with a chip on my shoulder." McCaffrey broke the NCAA record for all-purpose yardage in a single season last year, as he amassed 3,864 yards. The record was held by Oklahoma State and Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders, with 3,250 yards. McCaffrey's exploits as a rusher, receiver and return specialist earned him a trip to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist last season. He was one of only two running backs at the FBS level to rush for more than 2,000 yards (2,019), along with Alabama's Derrick Henry (2,219). Still, McCaffrey doesn't feel he gets his due as an athlete. McCaffrey's father, Ed, who played 13 NFL seasons mostly with the Denver Broncos, doesn't either. "There are immediate stereotypes about a white running back who grew up in the suburbs of Colorado," the elder McCaffrey said. "When we've gone to camps or all-star games, he walks on the field and people look at him like he's nothing." The comments from both McCaffreys came near the end of an extensive feature on Christian's upbringing, family and success as one of college football's elite players. With two more years of college eligibility remaining, he still has plenty of time to alter any perceptions about him that he believes are unfair. His next opportunity comes at home against Kansas State when the Cardinal opens its season on Sept. 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 poor baby High motor, gritty... it's true. It's natural. Even when I was in my teens and 20's, go to the park for hoops, and picking teams, got picked last so many times, because 5'10" white guys aren't supposed to be good at basketball. That was until they saw me play, and that stopped happening. It's no big, I understood it. It actually made me relish every basket or nice assist I made. I actually was a pretty good player, I wish my knee would let me still play like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
