🏈 Looks like one of the trio is staying..what's up with Dont'a? I don't know.

Eddie Lacey, Dee Hart, and TJ Yeldon will be household names this time next year. With our o-line its gonna get nasty for opposing defenses next year. We are in VERY good hands

Curious how / if Brent Calloway fits into all this.....and Fowler.

Brent is headed to the LBing corps...he understands that is his best chance to see the field.

I was wondering if that was a possibility. How much will he need to bulk up....what weight could he play LB at ?

 

[planomateo]

if I had to guess, I would also think a LB has a longer life expectancy in the NFL vs a RB.

He's kind of a kid without a position right now. He isn't good enough to crack the RB depth chart and isn't big enough to crack the LB depth chart.

Based on the talent around him at Bama, he would've actually been better off with us--not throwing more sour grapes out but our LB corps is razor thin, he'd get a crack at RB this year too.

Hes not a kid without a position, he will be a Linebacker in the spring. 4 more years for him, plenty of time. He doesnt have to be a starter right off the bat.

As a caveat, we never know how these kids will turn out, ya know? That said...

A year ago I might have agreed with you on some fronts. But, there's a few things here that I don't agree with.

37 hit it on the head, he isn't a guy without a position. You're right, he's not going to crack the depth chart for the RB's. But, if you consider he's getting close to 6' and starting to get close to that 190-200 mark? He's getting close, body wise.

I see him as a SAM. He's said that he sees the LB position as his best chance to contribute early and at Sam we really don't have a lot of depth there: Atchinson and Tana are the two that come to mind.

Last but not least, while he wasn't big enough to crack any depth chart coming out of high school he's dropped a lot of that "baby fat" and is more svelte than he was when he arrived. Kid is growing up.

Honestly, I'm seeing him like Jerrell or Eryk during their senior years.

I didn't make it, found it somewhere else on the web.

Thanks.

Most have him as the second beast ILB available. While I don't follow the draft as closely as a lot do, I'm guessing that leads to a second round pick.

Was this Freudian? Notice the typo? Or was it....

So is it safe to say we will see him on special teams ?
