    I know this Kid is a sophmore out of OKA U but is there anyway we could entice him to come out... he has good speed like a jet and he is right in line with adrian peterson if i was to compare him to a back i would compare him to AP... I know as the years go on he will get drafted higher and higher... the kid has got moves...he is 6'1 205 a big back maybe we could get him to like 210lb - 215lb but i like em

    I saw him play in high school and he was a beast. He red shirted one year so he is eligable for the draft but the problem I have is 2 years and 2 knee injuries. He looks like he can be very good but if he can't stay healthy he isn't very valuable.

    Murray isn't an angry runner like AD. Adrian Peterson runs with power and speed - Murray just has a shit load of moves in the open field.

    CJ Spiller of Clemson is a similar back...except Spiller has track speed.

    and can block in pass protection. He is going to be a great back in the NFL he lands with the right team, like a Marshall Faulk.

    I had us taking him in the 2nd round of the 2010 draft in the first mock I ever made here about a 2 year rebuild

    He's where McCoy was last year...at least physically. He's a back with room to get bigger...sick cuts...more powerful than he's given credit for but still not where he could/should be...great acceleration....

    Difference is that he runs behind a dominant O-line, has an injury history, and he is nowhere near as important to Oklahoma's O as McCoy is to Pitt's O.
