I assume when you get days off from doing QB talent evaluations for the NFL you do RB evaluations

When did I ever do a QB evaluation? That's the hardest position in the game to project to the next level... RB is projectable with a much higher success rate.

You haven't even seen Robinson play yet but you already know he's NFL level with a higher ceiling than Perkins?

I'm basing it on the fact that we've pretty much seen Perkins' ceiling...He's just not an every down back. Never has been, IMO. Doesn't mean he can't be good, he can... tremendous on screen passes, etc.

Our practices are only closed from August-November. The spring practices are open, as are bowl practices...

There was talk of Nick Griffin being as quick as Ballard with the bruising nature of Dixon by bowl practices of his redshirt year, but then he tore his ACL and missed an offseason. It was basically a full 1 yr setback for him. He was still less than 100% last season, but was still brilliant in the small flash of him we saw...

Josh Robinson has been the media darling of the team ever since they bowl practices opened last year. He's been compared to a bowling ball, impossible to arm tackle, etc...Everyone that's seen him practice(I haven't other than the spring game) say that he's the RB of the future. To be that for us, it means he is pretty dang good...
