Giants, Rams, Bengals. Those are just three teams that he could probably start for.

Don't worry. You won't have to worry about that happening to any UK football players anytime soon.

He's the second best Bama RB of the Saban era.

I'm just saying look at the video. Name one running back taken in the draft that couldn't have been succesful with that O-line. He's not touched until the second level. Tape doesn't lie. That's why he wasn't taken until the second round.

He probably couldn't even run over Kentucky's defense

It's easy to call some a fricktard but I'm looking at the film. I'm not saying hes not a good RB but he is overrated.

Well he's rated at what ever pick number he just went in the draft.

Are you saying he should have been drafted further down?

Are Frank Gore and Marshawn Lynch overrated? They run behind OL's that have a couple of pro bowlers on them.

Yes, he's a 3-4 round talent. Playing with Bamas O-Line got him to the 2nd round.

ARE frickING AWESOME. They make their own lanes with nothing. Frank Gore is one of the best running backs I've ever seen play in my life. A. Peterson is on the same level.

So because Eddie Lacy played on a good team with a good line he was overrated? Somebody call all those 4 and 5 star kids and tell them not to play for good teams or you're going to be labeled overrated.

I guess that whole first team class 5A honors and 3 consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons coming out of high school was due to an Alabama-esque line too right?

And then you want to drop a YOUTUBE (not "film") highlight reel as your evidence?

Good lord.

Are you on the payroll of any NFL teams? Or do you work for free?

Then explain why several of the Offensive Lineman that they run behind get put in the Pro Bowl.

Not to mention, you're basing your silly observation on a highlight film. Highlight films are, by nature, made to make a player look ridiculous. Especially a highlight film with a running back. They show long runs. It highlights long runs.

It doesn't show the plays where a player creates something from nothing and grinds out those extra yards.
