[@chrisbarnesbarnes8332]

Eita M I don't see this kid being a starting RB in the NFL unless he bulks up without losing speed teams are going to use him the same way Danny woodhead and Darren sproles is used which is not all that bad but never become a starting RB just used for backfield passes and to give the starting RB a breather. unless he puts on some weight he'll be playing behind somebody his entire career Edit: Yes people 4 years later I obviously realized I was completely wrong about the guy. We all have opinions on NFL prospects and you can't correctly guess every single one. So it would be nice if people could stop replying what 50 other people have already said😑

[@KalaniThames]

he's such a good inside runner. Better than people think. A lot better than Sproles and woodhead. But either way, teams are definitely not going to want to give someone as thin as him 10-20 carries every game. Although i think he could handle it, he's going to be a 3rd down back type most likely and get 5-7 carries a game.

[@BreuckelensFinest]

+Chris Barnes Barnes Barry Sanders & Walter Payton were pretty damn good RBs at 205 lbs. He'll be aight!

[@chrisbarnesbarnes8332]

BreuckelensFinest now how you gonna compare this kid to those 2 legends very rare case of performing at a high level at that size. The NFL has become pass heavy not run like it use to be back then. He won't even be given a chance to become a starter if a bigger RB that's just as good comes along

[@vinrusso821]

What world? Just young fools or white haters. Everyone knows. The coaches are speechless. He beat Cook and Fournette in every event at combine.You would think out of a strong RB class, he wouldn't dominate like he did. But he is special. He had a 10 and 7 inch better vertical than either. Fournette was the lowest. The 40? Ran the 5th fastest of all RB. Set a 20 year old record in the cone drill. His cuts and receiving skills are like a pro already.He also had more yds than either the last two years on college.Broke the Rose Bowl record for yards.

[@BCFC954]

Just be happy you have your privilege. I only think McCaffery is being judged differently by the media though. He is the son of a forme Pro Bowlr NFL player. Scouts and GM's know a lot about what he brings to the table, his athleticism, production, and work ethic. His major knock is that he is undersized for an RB.

If you're a Packers fan, I'm guessing you're a Wisconsin fan. At least USC beat Penn State...something Wisconsin didn't do.

[@mtthwlacroix]

He be bulldozin people

[@grantpierce7405]

Yeah Leonard is a short yardage power back that will bulldoze defenders to get yards, mccafrey and cook are home run threats and have a chance to break it open every time they get the ball. I would take dalton though because he’s better than mccafrey at contact and breaking tackles though combined with his speed is amazing

1:24 What do they mean if you aren't born with that you don't develop it over time? lol I don't see how a person can't become very good at changing direction if they really apply themselves to acceleration and deceleration muscles. It's all body movement, positioning, balance and body awareness. I know he's good at it but this guy looks so polished as a player. I'm sure he got help from NFL talent while growing up.

[@nohomobro8933]

254ttexas do you believe in genetics. or hardwork?

[@henlolneh]

cant beat them when they have both. as much hard work you want to put in, if the other person has the genetics and the work ethic, there is just no reaching that level of elite without both things.

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

Both are important but when it comes to body movement and juking, there is a way to do it effectively. Obviously some are more athletic than others but he clearly looks polished going around those cuts. Like he's done it tens of thousands of times(because he has). I've seen people become more athletic over time because they learn how to move the right way. I'm talking about knowing when to use your hips, knowing when to use your quads, knowing how to be balanced on your feet while making cuts. There is an art to running the football. I doubt many running backs in the NFL have always just had the mentality "I'm just gonna run" aside from some beastly guys.

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

and I don't think he's a genetic FREAK but he is a great athlete nonetheless with tons of football smarts and coaching, which is why everyone keeps saying the Patriots will want him

[@scottsge]
