[@jeffdaman6969]

Winston was amazing on the field. The sports media was jocking him hard. Some even compared him to Magic Johnson. How charismatic he was and his leadership ability. Personally I didn’t see it. Shame he was such a POS off the field.

Henry is a freak but it takes a bit to unlock him. As a Tennessee Titans fan most of us know that he isnt the fastest RB in the league but he accelerates once he gets a hole to go through and he powers his way to big gains.

[@evanwilliams6406]

Running backs don't last all that long especially if a team is built around a rushing attack. Todd had two good years or so then dropped off the map real quick.

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

@Evan Williams he actually had 3 very good years, 2 being elite years. His time in the spotlight reminded me of Leveon Bell. Nowadays RBs are just super injury prone. None last any amount of time for be called the best. Last good crop that lasted a decent time was AP, Foster, Lynch, McCoy, Charles, etc I do, however, see Nick Chubb maintaining a nice 10 year career. Zeke is still a top 5 back despite the hate (1000 yards 10 TDs plus 300 receiving and 2 TD), and Dalvin Cook, knock on wood, can stay up for around 13-14 games a year. I need to see one more year of Jonathan Taylor to see if his durability will hold up. Derrick Henry, it hard to say because they are running him into the ground, but he is elite at RB and I hate it til my heart burns because he's a former Bama player, but the guy has been elite over the last 4 years and even the year prior to that run, he was great in a split role with Demarco Murray.

[@diggsreport6804]

I always love seeing the video of Stefon Diggs committing to Maryland. He was everything the Terps were hoping for and then some. Because of him guys like DJ Moore, Dontay Demus, and Rakim Jarrett wanted to come here. And the impact wasn't just on receivers. Anthony McFarland, Demeioun Robinson, Nick Cross the list goes on. Diggs was one of the best things to happen to Maryland recently.

[@northeast4665]

[@NoNeckKota]

It was heartbreaking to see Winston become mediocre on the Bucs during the years. Shows that sometimes great college players don't transition well to the pros.

[@JDBass36]

That's probably the majority of college players. When you have a Randy Moss facing a 5th String corner. It becomes to big of a mismatch. That's why college football be having 50 point games wins weekly. The talent on the field is not equal across the board

[@nathan.d.c]

The biggest issue with Jameis and the Bucs was the fact that we never had a solid coaching staff and nobody built a team around him. That's sorta why I knew going to NOLA would be a great idea. Sean Payton believed in him, and having Brees there for a year really seemed to give Jameis a new shot of life.

I remember this class well. It was probably my final year keeping up with college football on a daily basis as I was working most Saturdays. This recruiting class was one of the last great productive classes.

@@joemcnulty6814he tore both ACL’s it wasn’t due to talent. You clearly didn’t watch when he did play in college.

[@evolutioninexistence]

Longhorn here, Gray had talent and flashed during his time at Texas. He and Malcolm Brown were a good tandem together. The Achilles injuries (I remember watching one live in ‘13 versus WV) really hampered his production-along with the fast spiraling of the program. Also, his 4 years were Mack’s final two and Charlie’s first two-so there wasn’t really any consistency or winning culture. Hats off to him though for staying the course with the University. I’m sure his dad (former Longhorn Jerry Gray) was a factor in that.

[@lobo_pack_8243]

I remember being in middle school and watching Jonathan Gray play against my high school varsity team two different times in the Texas UIL playoffs. Only high school to hold him under 100 rushing yds his Jr year I think, which was the 2nd time we faced Aledo. But adding in his receiving yds he had well over 100 all purpose yards. Never seen such talent in a RB like that ever since. Wish he could’ve handled his college career a little bit by sitting out a year

[@jackchipotle5847]

I don't know if you or anyone else has done it before, but you should do a video on the 2017 RB class for the NFL draft. I just noticed it when doing research today, but that class is hands down the greatest RB class in NFL history, and maybe the best positional class ever period. That class had L. Fournette, C. Mccaffrey, D. Cook, J. Mixon, A. Kamara, K. Hunt, James Conner, A. Jones, Chris Carson, AND Austin Ekeler(UDFA) in it. That is 10 star to superstar RBs in a single draft class. And that's not to mention other great backs like D'onta Foreman, Matt Breida, Marlon Mack, Jamaal Williams, Tarik Cohen, and Wayne Gallman.
