How could this happen?

It is pretty weird. I've just gotten used to it by now though.

Not being a homer here but you have got to be kidding me. If he stays healthy all year he will be a 4th rd or higer pick and will be more than just a s/t car selling gunner. He has size, strength, and speed. A NFL team will find a way to get him in the rotation and get him some carries.

ESPN's already said that if he played for any other team in the country, he'd be a Heisman candidate, but on this team he will split carries with Lorenzo Booker.

The bottom line is I can understand something that wierd hapening for a quarterback because it's a lot harder to make the college to NFL transition, but for a running back. That is supposed to be one of the easier positions to make the transition in. Also, if your guy had a lot of physical talent, although his ratings should be lower in the NFL, he should still be considered physically talented.

I can respect your opinion, but I just don't see 5'9 as "good size" for a RB in the NFL.

Yes, there are exceptions - Walter Payton - but overall I just dont see him doing more than a sproles.

The same type of thing happened last year. For example, (Sproles) won the Heisman in my dynasty mode last year and was a 6th round draft pick. If you ask me it's pretty realistic. Didn't Weinke win a Heisman? Point is: Heisman certainly doesn't = NFL sucess or even high draft status. In fact, heisman winners don't fair any better statiscially than the rest of the crop in the NFL.

in the top 5 running backs last year for rush yards in the NFL 2 were 5'11 and one was 5'10. 5'9 shouldnt b a problem if hes a good running back.
