I really wish this would happen, but just don't see it. He never had good vision, but was just way faster and stronger than almost all tacklers in college football. Couple that with the outstanding O-Lines he had, and it was a recipe for success. That being said, I'll always be rooting for him, and will always love him for what he did at Bama.

Looking back at his college days, and I think it's pretty obvious that his skills could have problems in the NFL. Obviously, none of us saw it coming.
His lines were amazing. Which neutralized the worst part of his game. In college, he was fast enough and had good enough moves to make guys miss when he had space. That, plus his physicality, helped him shine. But I don't remember him having much wiggle when holes weren't there. Think Lacy and Yeldon. They could juke defenders in a phone booth while still moving upfield. Those are needed skills in the NFL.

He had a couple of supposedly minor knee operations after his rookie year. I tend to think that those contributed more to his decline than anyone cares to acknowledge. Looked as though he put on some serious pounds as well which couldn't have helped.
Watch his rookie year highlights and he looks like a completely different back from the next couple of years.
