Speedy on Doak Walker List

[BuffNut99]

So he may have been screwed by the All Big 12 selection, but at least he's on this prestigious list. Hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere, so here's the full list:

We haven't had anyone on the list since 2007 (Hugh Charles)... Go Speedy! Dude could be our all-time rusher by the end of the season.

I can just see DII saying hey I recruited the Alltime passer and rusher at CU.

does Speedy get a look from the League?

does Speedy get a look from the League?

Not unless he flashes another gear this year...

does Speedy get a look from the League?

If he has a Darren Sproles type of year, yes. Otherwise, the odds are somewhat low.

don't forget the all-time leading pass catcher.

Stats are only going to go so far. Sproles is in the NFL because he has an extra gear and he can be a weapon in the return game.

I could see Speedy getting a look real late or as an UDFA, but his lack of top end speed with his size is going to be a major drawback.

Maybe gets a shot late as stated above but I think Canada would suit him better. Agree on the Sproles points as well. Speedy is quick like Sproles but doesnt have that straight line speed. Sproles has both. Plus I still wanna see Speedy catch the ball more and improve in that area. Seen him fight the ball a few times but we havent exactly thrown him the ball very much either.
