He reminds me of another running back I really liked in red and gold. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any footage of him catching, which is something he spends a lot of time working on doing better. He should be available in the 3rd. We need to take him. If we took him and six CBs I'd still call it a successful draft.

I like his burst threw the line....looks a little upright ....and dances a little to much sometimes going to the hole. Looks a little small for a every down back but fine as a third down back which we already have in Charles. I dont see us taking a shot on him with what holes we already have to fill.

He's 5'10", 211 as a college player, and would probably put on 5+ pounds with an NFL conditioning regimen. Priest is 5'9", 216. He has that patience and that vision, and the soft hands.... You really can't appreciate the guy until you've seen him make a catch. We're in need of a new featured back, and I don't think Kolby Smith is it.
