)... but you never know.
When I watched him early this season he wasHe was being talked about as a 6th/7th rounder early in the season, but he's been killing people lately. 23 carries for 120 yards against Tennessee, and 28 for 126 against Arkansas the week before. The fact that he's white automatically means that he projects as a Heath Evans fullback type in the NFL ()... but you never know.
but watching him late this season I was plesently suprised with his vision and burst. Unfortunatly the best comparison I can give him is Brock Forsey 
I see no reason why not. He's a bulldozer with decent paws.
I disagree.cpstorm said:
I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to post it. Glad someone did.
I'd love to have him on the Titans to do just that. He's a good receiver. I almost think he could be a Welker/DwightClark/RockCartwright type player.
Again with the Welker comparison? I dont mean to be a jerk here....but why? Other than the fact that they are both white and can catch, what do they have in common? Welker is a WR with a prety slight frame who has experience in the return game......Hester is a brusing RB who certainly wont be returning kicks in the pros. The Leonard comparisons seem fair. Just how good are Hester's hands? Is he a good enough reciever to be an H-Back type or he is strictly a change of pace back/pass catching full back?

A lot of guys projected by "scouting sites" in January to go in the 5th round or so don't end up getting drafted.Hester won't do well at the combine, he definitely doesn't have the skill set of a Leonard (who for some reason he's getting compared to), and no team in their right mind will draft him to do anything at the RB position.
That is another interesting guy.CrossEyed said:
Dude, get that burr out of your ***. If he reminds me of him, he reminds me of him. His quickness, how he plays in the LB area, the way he can use his body to shield he oncoming pass from the defender -- he REMINDS ME OF HIM.TLEF316 said:

If you believe what you write, you'll put up $80 that he won't get drafted, and I'll put up $20 that he does.
I think they have Cartwright confused with Costanza. It's an easy mistake to make.
No, i'm not going to give 4-1 betting on some guy who teams may take a chance on in one of the last rounds. I don't want any of my money tainted by another "great white hope" who will amount to a special teams player at best.Smells like a wager to me.moderated said:If you believe what you write, you'll put up $80 that he won't get drafted, and I'll put up $20 that he does.
Are we on?
I was joking about the Brock Forsey comment cause I knew guys would just pick the last white RB they remembered.
Then you really don't mean there's only a 20% chances he gets drafted. I'll take even money if you'd like.No, i'm not going to give 4-1 betting on some guy who teams may take a chance on in one of the last rounds.

That's what I said, "Cartwright!".
Both Cartwright and Welker are way faster then Hester, and niether Cartwright or Welker have the power of Hester. Just because all 3 of them have the ability to catch the ball, that doesnt mean they are similar players.
its uncanny..
