quote:Barry Sanders Jr. played behind Christian McCaffrey and graduated from Stanford, and then played at his dad’s alma mater.
Stanford tried to make Barry Sanders JR work out a few years back and that didn't work out either.
I would say the kid did a great job of taking care of his opportunities and it worked out okay.
The probability of a Stanford graduate finding success far exceeds that of a college football athlete.

No slam on either. Both sets of parents valued a Stanford education, and while I was hopeful both scatbacks would be superstars at Stanford, neither had the supporting cast that McCaffrey (or all the backs from Harbaugh's first year to up until McCaffrey.)
Sanders Jr. did okay at Okie State. I think there is a solid chance that Smith will do even better at A&M. Or at least I'm rooting for him.
