Just saying...lots of college action isn't always something I want in my RB.
Look at Alvin Kamara....not much usage in college, but wow has he been a hit in the NFL.
I think it is a big reason why Mixon and Perine have lasted as well. Mixon spelled Perine at Oklahoma like Perine is doing for
Mixon here. It is a good thing for a RB to not have too much tread on their tires in college. When you look at RB's coming out
I look more at talent than I do just plain production.
You have to look at the OL that was in front of them, burst, speed, vision, hands and most importantly blitz pick up.
I wanted Kamara in that draft myself, but Mixon and Cook were my main guys in the 2nd who were only falling cause of off
the field issues.
