            Ray Rice is going to be very good for a very long time!

              Mike Hart really doesn't "do it" for me.

                In his true freshman season, Charles rushed 119 times for 878 yards and 11 touchdowns, averaging 7.4 yards per carry.

                Jamaal has run a 4.2 40 yard dash, benched 300 pounds and squatted 400 pounds.

                Charles has also had success in the classroom after being added to the Athletic Honor Roll this year by achieving at least a 3.0 GPA.
                He fell off a little last year but he has quit track so he can focus 100% on football. At 6'1 190lbs with a solid year hes easily back in contention to be a 1st rounder.

                  In 2004, Hart set a Michigan record for most rushing yards in a season by a freshman with 1,455. He rushed for nine touchdowns and had 26 receptions for 237 yards and a touchdown catch.

                  During the 2006 season, Hart rushed for 1,562 yards, the fifth-best season total in Michigan history, and 14 touchdowns. For his efforts, Hart was recognized as his team's co-MVP with linebacker David Harris.

                  Hart has lost a fumble only one time, against Iowa on September 25, 2004, in 750 collegiate carries.
                  uh ill take it.

                    This is one of those times where I would say don't always believe the stats. Last year he was less than impressive and goes down too easily IMO. Too many one man tackles.

                      I doubt Hart is a 1st rder. Doesn't have elite speed and is small. I would guess 2nd or 3rd rd.

                            5'9, 200lbs and has run sub 4.5 40's consistently.

                            1 fumble in over 300 touches.....

                              Can I say that I don't think Steve Slaton is all that. I watched him and I won't question he is a good college running back, but I just don't think he will make a good pro. One thing I seen in him is he fumbled. Another thing is I think Pat White had a lot to do with his success last year. I guess he can prove me wrong this year.

                              some other runners that might sneak up:

                              Albert Young, Iowa
                              Allen Patrick, Oklahoma
                              Danny Ware, Georgia
                              Chauncey Washington, USC
                              Alley Brossard, LSU
                              Yvenson Bernard, Oregon State
                              LV Whitworth, Boston College
                              Rafael Little, Kentucky
