Not this year. But he looked really good in the Spring last year and I liked what I saw in his HS videos.
Malachi Dupre is right up there as well. He's the better athlete of the two and has some polish himself. Nice double move right here: http://youtu.be/9rmpPZPTwsM?t=42s
I think Malone is much more explosive up the field than Dupre, but Dupre looks like he can adjust and has better ball skills. Both of them are the top two as you said.
His talent is right up there with Nick Chubb. Surprised there isn't as much hype yet. Both of those guys have NFL bodies already.
I think he's actually pretty good in this regard. We know he's built like a brick house with 10.69 speed in the 100m, but he's not just a physical specimen. I've seen some evidence in his highlights that he has good instincts, vision, and elusiveness. He's not the type to juke someone out of his socks in the open field, but his ability to run in traffic is actually pretty impressive. He can make some nice sharp cuts against the grain. He is far from being a pure straight-line bull, as you can see in some of these clips:tdmills said:
I like Chubb, but not as much as others. I don't think his RB skills are on the same level as Hood or Fournette, that's not to say he's a terrible player.
Green and Brown weren't freakish athletes like Chubb. Green's HS highlights weren't even that impressive.
If you're in a TE-premium league and want to take a chance on a Freshman TE. Well, check out Mavin Saunders, Florida State. He already has an NFL body at 6'6" 252lbs.
Also because this is the "NON-draft eligible prospect" thread.Almost time for this thread to pick up again.
Still enough time left to send out some offers for Nick Chubb and Michael Dyer in your dev leagues.
I've spoken about Dyer ad nauseam, so no need to go down that road again.
Chubb isn't going to be the main man just yet with Gurley and Marshall already in the fold at Georgia, but I still think he has a pretty good chance to pull a Tyner/Henry and vault up into the consensus top 10 over the course of this season. His current ranking as the #50 dev player on DLF is very much out of sync with his value and upside, IMO. Good opportunity to get in on the ground floor right now because he has a pretty good chance of flashing in a big way over the next 1-2 seasons. 5'10" 228 with a 40"+ vertical, 10.7 speed in the 100m, and solid vision/cutting ability. Yikes. Buy, buy, buy.
No Chubb owner in their right mind is giving him away cheaply.Almost time for this thread to pick up again.

Conner doesn't look explosive or special enough to be on Devy radars. He's going to playing some DE this year and might eventually be better there. The true Freshman RB Chris James looks to be more interesting. James ran a legit 4.48 40 at age 17 weighing 194 lbs. He's currently 210.Also because this is the "NON-draft eligible prospect" thread.Almost time for this thread to pick up again.

I'm interested to see how James Conner does this year. He's got surprisingly good wiggle and speed for a back his size. Someone definitely worth monitoring imo.
Explosiveness definitely isn't his strong suit, but I still think he has what it takes to carve out a role in a RBBC in the NFL. The kind of guy certain coaches would disregard, but others would love. He played a bit of DE last year too, don't think he had much success with it. Too small and not quick twitch enough to be of much use as a DE/LB imo.Conner doesn't look explosive or special enough to be on Devy radars.

Really? Nobody at DLF has him rated higher than 31st overall right now. That doesn't scream sky high expectations.
The DLF guys aren't as high on Chubb as others are. He should be in low to mid teens.Rankings don't always reflect value. Value is just mostly perception.
Chubb looked great yesterday. His athleticism stands out on the field and it's obvious he's gifted. I'd say he needs to slow down his process of running though. He's young and hopefully that part of his game will develope as he becomes more comfortable. I'm sure the adrenalin was pumping hard in his first action.SouthBEast Mode has officially arrived:Almost time for this thread to pick up again.
