I really think some sort of H back. Could be very effective in option play, and could actually be a threat to throw off it.

On one of the OSU sites I saw they were all claiming Saban as the GOAT and the big think they were upset about was Meyer not making changes like Saban did.

I think we could convert Hurts easily for our system and he would be a deadly weapon. Sort of like OSU tried with B Miller.

Those seem to one and the same these last couple of weeks.

Jalen isn't that type of athlete IMO. He is shifty not fast.

Jalrn is athletic as a QB. Blake sims was more athletic. I could see a special package maybe but that's not really our style. As far ad moving him to wr or rb he would never ever see the field as a every down skill player. Those guys athletic ability is on another level.

I think he is every bit as skilled as our RBs

He doesn’t need to be fast to be a good receiver. Rice, Carter, and Boldin had great careers and neither ran faster than 4.6, if I’m not mistaken. I think he’ll be a good possession or a moderate speed receiver, if he crafts his route running and learns how to use his big body against smaller dbs. Additionally, most of our receivers are “rail thin”, a physically developed WR would help in underneath routes and blocking.

You can't take someone because they are athletic and say go play this position and think they are going to be productive at something they haven't done before.

I completely agree, but we will never know until he makes such a move. He is an athlete and the NFL values an athlete to a certain degree. For example, T. Pryor and B. Miller are collecting NFL checks due to their athletic promise and potential. I just wish the best for Jalen on and off the field.
