Question for you college gurus. Which of those RB's listed work mostly from a pro-style offense vs. other offense systems (shotgun, spread, etc). A lot of the runs I saw in the Videos of McFAdden and Charles come from a shotgun formation which they won't see as often in the pro's.

I don't know that offensive system makes a huge difference for RBs. We haven't really seen any examples of "system RBs". A bigger concern, in my mind, would be which RBs looked more talented than they really were because their offensive line was dominant (a la LenDale White and Ron Dayne).In my mind, a large reason why we haven't seen "system RBs" is a simple numbers game. Regardless of what offensive scheme you're running, there are going to be a certain number of guys in the box. If you switch to more of a spread mentality to take defenders out of the box, you're also taking blockers out of the box. In the end, unless your QB is the ballcarrier, running is always a 10-on-11 proposition. Now, if your 10 are radically better than their 11, that'll definitely skew the results, but schematically you can only do so much.

What's missing from this (and the board) is an official thread for each position (QB,RB,WR,TE,DE, LB,DB) where we can go to discuss draft prospects. Sorry if I have missed these, but I don't see them in the top post.

There are no good current Jonathan Stewart highlight videos on YouTube right now, but you can see some of his runs in the Sun Bowl here:

Stewart runs at roughly: (1:40, 1:46, 2:13, and 3:45)

Hidden link is the Charles vs. USF hghlight run. There's an in-built link to a series of USF Highlights for Kevin Smith.
