Big Turk Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Dude looked like the real deal with UB...and he goes undrafted? Makes no sense. Saw a lot of profiles saying he was a 3rd or 4th round talent. Edited May 4, 2021 by Big Turk
Buffalo716 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 5'6 is still a scary size for people It's ok 30% of the league is UDFA.. cream rises 1 1
billsfan89 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Could be a medical issue that the public is not privy to, could also be something on the tape that jumped out to many pro-scouts as being a big red flag. We don't really know what drives teams evaluations. He caught on with the WFT so he will get his chance in the pros.

There's still just more good football players than draft positions , and having prerequisite size still matters Being 5'6 absolutely pushes him down boards.. if he was 5'10 he would have been drafted 100% It doesn't matter because there are tons of undrafted running backs that make it 1
That's No Moon Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 He's small, he's slow, and he caught zero passes last season. 5 1
Da webster guy Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 He's been a standout since he was a freshman. Contact balance, vision, the dude is amazing. He has to get a shot somewhere. 1

TheBrownBear Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 I watched him quite a bit. He's a "gamer", but he doesn't really pass the eyeball test, even against MAC opponents. He's small and very slow by NFL standards. I just don't see him overcoming his athletic shortcomings. Practice squad fodder at best, imo. 1 1

Pretty much the same size and Patterson is a little faster than him. If you can play you can play. In any case, I don't think he was drafted because he played in the MAC and had a dominant offensive line. The other RB had numbers that were just as good

First Round Bust Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 dane brugler whose work I respect from the Athletic ranks him prospect #195 overall and the 18th best UDFA competetive, balanced, vision, quick feet and energy are a plus feasted on poor run fronts and tackling in the MAC lack of explosion and contact power does not project well to the next level - as well as below avg size and speed signed with the WFT...good luck to him

I was going to say that he's not big, and not fast... 5'6 195 lbs is pretty stout. It's short but not small And he has good quickness. He's a 4.5 guy with really good short area agility Again if he was 5 ft 10 he absolutely gets drafted. Being 5'6 hurts in the draft process Edited May 3, 2021 by Buffalo716

BuffBillsForLife Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Too small without being lightning fast and he got injured at the end of the year. 1
