His NFL combine numbers are great a 4.40 forty and hes been in the top 5 of every drill for his position. so my question is why isnt he getting talked about more as a top RB?

also he destroyed at auburn.hes been on my favorite RBs to watch in the past seasons because of his style.

I would think he would be the #2 RB now.

b.c. timed speed sure as hell doesn't equal game speed. That being said tate is a good RB and sure helped himself. He will be a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Why would he fall to the third round? Unless you think it will take that long for a RB other than Spiller to get drafted.

because he is not the 2nd best in the draft. No one is as high on him as you it would seem.

Ben Tate loves to talk about how great of a running back Ben Tate is, you must not be paying attention.

Why did you say "frist off" when you only had one point to make?

Actually, he probably is. He excelled under 3 different systems the last three years at AU. He is pretty well represented on the all time AU running backs list and we all know those are some of the best names in college football history at RB for any school.

that's the funny thing. I don't hate him at all. I really like the guy and his running style. I, and most everyone else, think that there are better rb's.

Why'd you take C.J Spiller off your list?
