I mean, I’ve seen some delusional takes in my time, but this one takes the cake.

Relegating him to a “practice squad” guy.

The NFL seems to be drafting RBs later each year. Pretty short careers. If he is drafted 79th he’s a starter. He’s such a competitive guy that he will be a very good pro.

Yup. I don’t think the 79 is waaay off. It was the guy’s take that he’s a practice squad guy and his game doesn’t translate. They don’t grow RB’s who can truck 330lb DT’s on trees.

As incompetent as the cowboys are id love to see him in Dallas. Minnesota could be a good fit too.

If he can play special teams he'll hang around

He ain’t Chase Reynolds. He’s more Mike Alstott.

More Marshawn Lynch

Only 32 of those jobs in the entire world, gentlemen.

Well each team carries 3-4 plus practice squad. But I get your point it’s tough to make a team.

I believe the practice squads have now expanded beyond 4 ...

I’m not saying he’s gonna be Jamar Gibbs…but he sure as fuck ain’t gonna languish on some 4-12 team’s practice squad.

4 RB’s on a practice squad? That seems like a lot. They only have 15 spots total I believe.

 

[oldngrizzly]

I would not be surprised to see him go in the first round. #5 in Heisman is damm good.

 

[Griz Time]

That guy has no quit and all heart. He will make it just fine. Dude appears driven and hungry.

Wait. Didn't he quit on his SAC teammates by entering the portal for personal gain? What am I missing?

 

[argh!]

i've been wondering that about you, too, and i also don't know what it is that is missing. but there's something.

RBs are NOT taking in the first round.

Yes. And if you're an RB3 on an nfl roster you sure as hell better be a special teams star or you won't be an RB3

 

[grizghost]

...Scattebo will do great in the NFL, I'm not sure what round but I
would think at least by the 4th...the kid is a powerhouse...
