Sanders was only 5'8" but hes also 200 lbs. Add 30 LBS to this kids frame and that 4.3 speed goes away, and you have a small slow back. Justmy opinion and I've been known to be wrong.
The Rocket WAS only 5'10" and 175, but played mainly at slot and WR in the pros. Now, if you are saying sign the kid and use him much like we use McKenzie, I could go along with that.

I think that Rocket's height was exaggerated by at least an inch. You are right, he was more of a Slotback/WR although Holtz would occasionally stick him in the backfield for a carry or two here and there at ND. I was absolutely mesmerized by him when I was a middle school boy lol.
I agree though, I think he would fit more as a special purpose type of guy like IMac.

Not speaking for anyone else, but THAT'S exactly what I am saying. Talent like he has can be used. His wouldn't be a wasted scholarship, I'd imagine, even if he were not an every down back...
