    Not a good idea IMO. He's already injury-prone and Dallas just ran him into the dirt. Curse of 370 and all that.

    Tyler Varga anyone?? I've coached against this kid here in Canada, and watched him play since his teen years, he was a phenom here, and looks like he has gotten better since then. Best player I've had the pleasure of witnessing at an early age HANDS DOWN, his work ethic is unreal and he is insanely smart, I've heard he has plans on becoming a surgeon after football, so we know he has the intelligence and study habits... You want ground and pound, he could be it, and he can break it too! Thoughts?

    My thought is Canada.

    Never heard of him but his competition level is obviously nothing like the states.

    I really like Yeldon, I would be thrilled if they picked him.

    I like Yeldon too, but he's 6'2.

    Matt Forte is 6'2, but every other running back in the NFL is shorter.

    Forte caught more passes in 2014 than any other running back in NFL history.

    Only Matt Forte, Larry Centers, and LaDainian Tomlinson had 100 or more receptions in a season.

    He's not even the best back on Alabama and he's injury prone. I'd be with you if you wanted Henry down the road.

    He had a very nice Senior Bowl, and will probably carve a decent career in the NFL for somebody as a situational back and special teamer. He seems like one of those guys that won't ever really find a full time roll as a #1 back or fullback, but can contribute some when called on. Also, it will probably be a short career, not much longer than it takes to get vested in the retirement program, if his real ambition is surgery...he's probably too smart to play the football card too long and will switch careers before risking long term damage.

    Yeah, he is the best back on Bama...a better receiver and blocker than Henry. Yeldon can be another Forte or FJax, Henry could be another Richardson.

    Yeldon isn't even as good as Richardson.

    Richardson was a better receiver, both run too upright and Yeldon has a bigger fumbling problem.

    Numbers aside, Yeldon is a better receiver just with the eye test...he's going to fit the pro game better than Richardson. Granted, he does run a little upright at times and has put the ball on the ground. Still think he'll translate to the NFL better than either Richardson or Henry, but we'll just to wait and see.

    Yeldon wasn't great this year, but he was phenomnal the prior 2 years. He's got terrific size and speed and can catch the ball. I think he'd be a great fit in the NFL. Don't be surprised if this is who the Bills have their eye on.

    Richardson was a freaking stud in college, not many RBs were better than him.

    The Hoosier Tevin Coleman. He da man. Rushed for 200 vs Buckeyes. Nuff said.
    If we can land a guard in FA I would spend that 2nd on him - if he's still there.

    Dude is faster than the camera!

    Coleman has outstanding field vision and is the fastest running back I've seen in a long time.

    Joe Buscaglia today mentioned Tevin Coleman as his favorite back.

    Enjoy the highlights:

    His speed will likely get him over drafted.

    Can somebody please whip out their I-phone and tell me what song this is?

    Sounds like Daft Punk, but I've no idea what the name of the tune is.
