Danger Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 To be fair, not even at the pro level are Full Backs really used any more. It's an endangered species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Kalen Ballage is a monster, 6'3 and 220 - he can catch and pass protect. He's got a lot of juice in his legs, can step and his great top end speed. It's sad to see his line get blown to pieces every week but he's a very intriguing prospect.

Jonathan Taylor. 13 carries for 75 yards and 2 TD's. Sure, his long is 11, but that makes his 5.8 YPC all that more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Opinions on ND RB Josh Adams? He has 159 yards and 2 td's on 8 carries through the 1st quarter. 6'2" 225 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Watching highlights of Barkely, there is something freaky about him. Not sure specifically, is it deceleration, coordination, or balance but something about him I don't understand how he moves the way he does.

brownie man Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Saquon is the best RB prospect I've ever seen not named Adrian Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the LB he abused is a damn good one, Tegray Scales. https://twitter.com/KevinOnCFB/status/914221811893751808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanford is purely using him as a runner right now, and their line is giving him some gaping holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of it is that Barkley can make moves and not lose speed. So lets say he's going to the outside and it's bottled up, he can do a jump cut to the inside and still pretty much be at full speed. From what I've seen, he has shown himself to be a complete back as well, succeeding in running, receiving, and pass blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not quite there yet, but a lot better than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see him actually being the 2nd RB off the board depending on his tape this year and a great combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Kallen Ballage has the physical tools, but he hasn't really impressed on the field yet IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
