Probably not. They have a decent supporting cast around him. Kearse is an NFL prospect and Middleton was before being kicked off the team. Most agree that Locker is a raw passer. He only completed 58% of his passes last season and his yards per attempt and TD/INT numbers were okay, but not spectacular. Possible explanations:- Inexperience. He missed most of his sophomore season with injury, so last year was really his second season.- Coaching. Last season was first under Steve Sarkisian. Prior to that he had been coached by Willingham, who some blame for the overall ineptitude of the team in 2008. - Ability. Maybe he's just not a very good passer. There are similarities between him and Boller, another highly-touted QB prospect who struggled out of high school until a coaching change inflated his talent. Locker is a phenomenal athlete. There's no doubt about that. The only question marks surround his pure passing skills. I favor Andrew Luck has an NFL prospect because he seems stronger in this department. 2010 will be important for both of them though. They need to play well.
Productive college runner with suspect size/burst for the next level. At best probably a Javon Ringer type of career outlook. Outside chance of a Donald Brown/Matt Forte rise if he goes ape this year and blows up at the combine.
Wasn't an elite prospect, but definitely draftable, and reports were he has looked ridiculous in camp. Wonder if he gets drafted at all now.As a side note, I own him in both my fantasy ncaa leagues
Decent moves, very nice feet in tight spaces. But here's my problem with him. Still don't see enough explosion from him, and he runs into too many straight on hits. For a small guy, this type of style will get him killed by LBs and Safeties in the NFL. Runs kind of like Ahmad Bradshaw, another poster had brought him up and I believe it is a very nice comparison. Bradshaw is another guy who I think runs a bit too physical for his stature, simply won't last long and will always be nicked up, nursing injuries. So if he becomes another Bradshaw, who is a "poor man's MJD", not the real thing.......meh....I'm ready to state right here and now that DeMarco Murray will have a better NFL career than Quizz....
If DeMarco Murray ever starts an NFL game, I may eat my hat.
Not good. We'll see what happens. It's not a death sentence yet.In somewhat related news, Georgia RB Washaun Ealey has also been suspended. He's a draft prospect for the 2012. With him out of the lineup, Caleb King should have an even better opportunity to step up. King is athletic, but perhaps a bit too slim for the pro game.Wasn't an elite prospect, but definitely draftable, and reports were he has looked ridiculous in camp.

I've probably seen every carry of Murray's career, and if he ever starts an NFL game, I'll eat my hat and your hat. While he certainly has some nice physical skills, his vision and feel combination is off-the-charts terrible.
A little salt & pepper will make it a bit easier on the pallette....
Updating, Washington was actually charged with sexual assault Monday.
I think Ingram is more like J. Stewart than S. Green. Baldwin is more like M. Colston than C. Johnson. Divine is similar to D. Sproles.
I read somewhere that he was held back in high school, here's the quote:
Can someone confirm this?
I believe it is a meniscus tear...would be 100% in 10-14 days, but will likely sit until the SEC schedule starts in Week 4 vs Ark.Saban was clear that they were going to do what was best for his 'career'.
Just drafted him this weekend hope its not too serious.
Washington now kicked off the team for good
Are you drafting in a college league or something?
Yup and I'm the guy who happens to have Ingram rostered in this league right now. Doesn't appear to be serious and all signs are pointing to a full recovery. These meniscus surgeries are a cinch anymore. It will be interesting to see Richardson get an opportunity to play the lead back.
Seeing this post made me take a look at some
Another thing to keep in mind with him is that UTEP is not historically a running-based offense (the same Mike Price-coached offense that produced Bledsoe and Leaf). They changed the focus of their offense solely because of Buckram (as a fantasy owner of UTEP's QB, much to my chagrin). He's not a "system" RB, and if he were to miss time, the production out of UTEP's RB position would likely return to insignificance.It sounds like Buckram avoided major injury, but, since they are playing a FCS team this week, they will probably hold him out. But sounds like he won't miss too much time.
are you kidding me? MJD is huge... 208 to be precise. Rodgers is 191( that is not close to 200 pounds)come talk to me when he gains 14 pounds ...
Also there is zero chance quizz has a playing weight of 191. Maybe he goes on a mcdonalds diet in the offseason and gets fat but he does not play at near 191. Id bet on the under at 185 lbs as he plays a lot closer to 180 then 190.
No, he's shorter than Spiller and Best. Does he weigh the same? Impossible to say without knowing his actual measurements.Ray Rice was 5'8" 200 pounds at the NFL combine.
Nice 2010 debut from a guy I have ranked much higher than everyone else......'cause he deserves it!Just 3 TD receptions and an 89-yd punt return TD in the opener tonight.......I suppose somebody will say that it was just Hawaii......What you got Julio? This kid is taking your spot.......
Allen Bradford at #4 looks pretty good too after Marc Tyler stole the show last nightNice 2010 debut from a guy I have ranked much higher than everyone else......'cause he deserves it!Just 3 TD receptions and an 89-yd punt return TD in the opener tonight.......I suppose somebody will say that it was just Hawaii......What you got Julio?

EBF broke down LeShoure a bit earlier. I haven't seen enough of him to really give an evaluation but I will see him at least a couple times this year. Tyler os a nice looking player but like I said about RoJo I will hold off on annointing them based on a game versus Hawaii. Pead I don't know much about. I know this is the 2011 draft thread, but I wanted to add I was rather impressed with Alshon Jeffery last night and rather dissapointed in Dion Lewis (who may be 2011 eligible depending on that rule). That was my first extended viewing of Lewis and I didn't really see much to like. Not that big, and I didn't see the kind of wiggle or explosiveness needed to make up for that lack of size.
I watch Pead every week living in Cincy. ESPN has him generously listed at 200 lbs. He looks more like 185-190 to me. He's 5'11 and has some room to get bigger I suppose. One thing he has is speed to burn (4.41 40). He was absolutely electric last year. I'm excited to see what he'll do with the starting job now. Went for 121/806/9 last year. Also very comfortable catching the ball out of the backfield. In a high octane offense, which shouldn't miss a beat going from Pike to Collaros (it didn't when Pike was injured last year), he should have some very nice end of year stats for NFL teams to look at.
USC has like a dozen RBs.....throw em in a hat and pick one out.......or 3 or 4....Allen Bradford at #4 looks pretty good too after Marc Tyler stole the show last nightNice 2010 debut from a guy I have ranked much higher than everyone else......'cause he deserves it!Just 3 TD receptions and an 89-yd punt return TD in the opener tonight.......I suppose somebody will say that it was just Hawaii......What you got Julio?
