The Best On-Field RB Prospect No One is Talking About
He’s not big. He’s not fast. Yet, he’s the most sophisticated runner between the tackles I have seen this year.

Minor weaknesses dot these teams. Except for Arizona, which needs to bring in more help to really run Bruce Arians' offense.

Just a little dose of reality... these highlights are against the Clemson defense.

Let's here it.

First play you talk about isn't power. It's trap.
Re: The Best On-Field RB Prospect No One is Talking About
Thanks for giving me credit for making the change.

Your medal's in the mail. Good call, though.

Actually don't care about recognition. Am concerned a guy writing about football can't recognize the difference between 2 very basic plays.
Re: The Best On-Field RB Prospect No One is Talking About
so he just wins?

The video segments needed to be edited down to relevant lengths -- not good to link to the same 7-minute clip for each illustration.

I wouldn't get excited about a black belt in karate. It's not like there's some objective standard, or that you earn it by knocking 10 guys out. When is the last time you heard of an athlete with a black belt in karate actually fighting someone with bad intent?
And anyone who's getting busted for weed isn't exactly dedicated to rigorous discipline.
Re: The Best On-Field RB Prospect No One is Talking About
The answer to your question is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Although technically I think his black belt is in taekwondo.
Harris seems a bit reminiscent of Bryce Brown, but with more miles on the clock. Worth a late round flyer, and might end up being a great value pick, but also might end up being utterly worthless.
Re: The Best On-Field RB Prospect No One is Talking About
Martial arts aren't about fighting "bad guys". That's just Hollywood (and Hong-Kong). They're more about self-perfection than fighting. Then again... that's the intent, but maybe not how it works in the Western world.

It does say something about a person.
I'd say he is dedicated and has body control - he understands his own movements.
No, he's not going roundhouse kick linebackers in the face.

We miss you, Billy Sims.
Re: The Best On-Field RB Prospect No One is Talking About
Didn't we just talk about how older quarterbacks are more mature and should be expected to be better because they're playing against younger competition?
I'm reminded of the Philadelphia Flyers recent strategy of signing undrafted free agents who had productive years as overage juniors (i.e. 20 year olds who suddenly put up great numbers playing against 17-19 year olds). Sometimes, it's because a guy is a late bloomer - a la Matt Read - and you catch lightning in a bottle. Usually, though, you get a Luke Pither (Who? Exactly.).
Re: The Best On-Field RB Prospect No One is Talking About
the Browns agree!
