DH won the Heisman and will be a HOF NFL RB...however, he could have had all of this and a longer career -- with much more money -- at outside LB or DE. I'm glad he played RB...really loved watching him...but there is no doubt as to which position pays more over the long haul.
Especially in today’s game. The only reason he’s premier is because there just aren’t a lot of people in history with his athleticism.
DH broke Ken Hall's HS rushing record, that had stood for 60 years.
No doubt he was the best HS, CFB and now NFL RB of his day. -- or just about any day. I was just noting that in today's game RB's are underpaid compared to LB's and DE's who have size and can run. That's all...
Agreed, however, if DH had been moved to LB very good chance we would not have won the NC in '15 and DH certainly would not have won the Heisman. People who were saying he should get moved to LB did not think a 6' 3" 235 lb RB could be effective in the SEC.
If anyone had seen his HS highlight video and knew he had broken the HS rushing record they would not have doubted no matter his size.
This was a big miss for us, it really put us behind in safety development for several years
Connor will forever be remembered as the guy who log-rolled Kenyon Drake and broke his leg.
I always thought we wanted Kwon badly but we were squeezed by the numbers that year, especially at linebackerWOWI don’t know that. Turned out to be a good player.
In this case, same thing. If we weren't squeezed by the numbers, we wouldn't have passed. Just had guys higher up on the board. Also, I seem to recall he got tired of waiting and went with LSU.
Late reply. But I remember hearing even saban was excited about B.J. Scott. It’s why think NIL while important isn’t gonna be the end all Be all going forward. It’s hard to evaluate 15-18 year old kids.
David Paine, that's a blast from the past. I remember there was a rumor we got his mom a job at the paper mill. I think his girlfriend got pregnant, and that derailed his career, although not sure about that.
