They mean the world to me, so I’m willing to put my neck on the line for them...", really who talks like that.

I bet he refers to himself in the third person. The Donald Brown is going to allow an NFL team to pay him millions.

And I am not going to advocate for drafting a RB in the first, although I would be alright with it in the second or third.
He was interviewed after the bowl game and eh seemed like a very pleasent and intellligent person to me. In fact he gave all the credit to his offensive line for his record breaking performance. They also interviewed his mother and she seemed like a really sweet lady. So i doubt he is like what you are thinking.


As far as how talented he is and where he ranks among RB's. I have watched all the top rated backs and IMO he should be the third back taken behind Moreno and Wells. Mcoy isnt coming out or I would have him dead even with him. He is perfect for our ZB scheme. He hits the hole quick and has the vision to make one cut and go. He runs with power and doesnt come down on first contact. (squats 600 lbs) He is the Matt Forte of this draft. If he were available in the second round he would be a perfect complinement to Slaton and a well spent pick IMO.
