He can run he can pass block he can line up in the slot and he has explosive speed  quick feet and that 2nd gear not everyone has and he is excellent out of the backfield. Once he runs 4.3 and teams see his combine and tape he'll go in the 4th or 5th round IMO.

2691 yards rushing  29 TD's and  84 receptions for  703 yards and another  12 TD's in 3 seasons is nothing to sneeze at.

I agree, those are some fantastic numbers.  However, the Bengals are not strangers to drafting small school backs with great stats.  Have you ever heard of Bernard Scott?  I think the Bengals took him in the 6th round, his college numbers were off the charts.  He flashed a little, and I think he hung on with the team for two seasons.

I'm not dogging Marable when I predict late round or UDFA for him.  Unless he's got some niche that makes him extra valuable, like return skills, or otherwise invaluable special teams abilities, it's tough for the small school backs to hang on in the NFL.
