yea that was 1st quarter...even my girlfriend, who i made watch the game, commented on how sick he is...then she had to slide in "why dont the jets have a guy like that"
he is the one that i have been saying and not peterson, he is fast and can run with some power, imagine johnson in the first and slaton in the second in next years draft
And, you know, if his 5-10 185 becomes 5-10, 205 instead of 5-8, 185. He is a bit on the small side. Let's wait until the end of the season. He's not Barry Sanders just yet, though he is a very talented player. -X-
Except Johnson will be a top 3 pick and Slaton, if he continues to build on this success will be the top RB for next year. But the past couple years have been good on very high valued RBs, compared to a few years ago when Steven Jackson was the best available and lasted til almost the end of the first round. Bush was this year, Peterson will be next (Marshawn Lynch in a Deangelo Williams type spot), and Steve Slaton in the 2008 draft.
Slaton is a sophomore. ets see if he can play outside of the spread offense, because as of now, no matter how good his stats are, he is a 3rd down back in the NFL. Plus, WTF is up with his hair?
He's perfectly situated in the spread offense, because it features his speed. If you watch his carries when he is in the I, he is not the same back. Without a doubt he will be prolific the rest of his collegiate career, however, at this stage, he talent doesn't translate to the league, not without refinement.
