He's got a case for top 5 too but it's such a deep position in history so who knows. Never even got a Heisman invite to New York lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 The fact that he went to Wisconsin will be used against him when people look at his production, but it shouldn't be. He played with some of the worst OL I can remember as a fan, and put up historic gross numbers in an era of 3rd down specialists and load management. He made more 7 yard, 10 yard, or TD type runs out of nothing than any RB I can remember. I'll miss him, but it's for the best that he's leaving. Get paid JT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 7 or 10 yard runs made out of nothing are what I'll miss the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a running gag we had in the Badger thread. He'd get us a first down 10 guys on the field in no way deserved, and we'd all comment "well that's the first time today he's been superhuman". He wasn't patient for the sake of being patient like Le'Veon Bell. If the hole was there right away he'd go, but often he'd wait because he had this crazy awareness for not only where the blocks were going, but how to position himself to bury linebackers in the scrum without needing a 1-1 blocker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ONLY knock is the fumbling. He's by far a better RB than Melvin Gordon was and he's probably gonna end up going in the 2nd round. Though, I could see Miami using one of their 3 1st on him.

So numbers, at least total numbers, can only tell so much as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes in the 2nd it's only because of the insane top of the class. Any other year he's easy first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, I think it comes out that White gets the lionshare of early downs, and Cook is a change of pace back who also gets plenty of time out of the backfield.
