hes still a great athlete for a rb

that hide his lack of vision until he hit the nfl

I mean he's obviously a pro caliber athlete. But dude was a five star blue chip prospect, number 5 overall player in the country, you would at least think someone would have picked up on his lack of vision in scouting.

How was he effective at any level with vision that awful. Like even in HS if his field vision was that bad.
He had that same body in hs and college. He was a bulldozer.

In college u can tell he didnt have the burst of an elite back. To see a hole and just jumpin in it and out of it. He never had that. But @ lower levels he could just break tackles, he dont break tackles @ the pro level. Amd Bama's oline was godly.

You the cat everyone be negging because you be "scouting" or what not. Now he wasn't Todd Gurley in college but he wasn't some bum either. What do you think scouts was looking at when they thought so highly of him?

His legacy will be cemented as the last running back to ever be taken in the top 5 of the NFL draft.

He's actually good catching out of the backfield. So people thought he would be a physical runner and have the ability to be potent catching the ball.

He's not the 1st high profile rb that sucked. Cedric Benson and Rashad Salam comes to mind. So Scouts are always wrong.

Jim Brown was the only dude I saw keep it real. He said he wasn't special. He doesnt do anything extrordinary. Thats what I saw as well. I was a Colts fan and was pissed when we gave up a 1 for him.
