Why do you say that??

chris johnson ran a 4.24, this kid ran in the high 4.4's which makes him more like a very poor man's felix jones

I'm not even looking at their 40 times, but more as what they do as a RB. Both are good outside runners, both are patient and have that second gear once they come off their blocks. Only thing Johnson has to Sheets is, proven production in the NFL and elite speed. The styles are comparable, but when I said poor mans, I meant because of the lack of speed of Sheets.

and going undrafted compared to being a first round pick is what i was referring to as a very poor, homeless, and meth addict mans chris johnson....maybe

Why, cause he doesn't run a 4.24 40?? Or cause he wasn't drafted in the 1st round?? Or because its just your simple opinion and have no other reason or reasons??

Brandon Long DE/OLB

Sounds like he just needs a LB position coach to motivate him to greatness. Hope he likes Mike's bag drill.

because i saw a few Purdue games, and he didnt stand out to me as anything special. becuase he's a terrible pass blocker. because he was the feature back for only one year, and topped 100 yards just three times in that year. because in 5 of his games last year he didnt even reach 4.0 YPC

My vote went to Boone just because he has the size, strength, and mean streak to assist the o-line.

I'm excited for Sheets as well.

I like Brandon Long the most because he's athletic for a 3-4 OLB, and he had 5.5 sacks in his only year of playing time. He could be a pretty decent player IMO, and we don't have any backups who are locks to make the team at OLB. Hopefully he can do well.

Johnson was the same in college, only made a break through performance when he was a Senior, wasn't really a good pass-blocker, had some durability issues. And to say Sheets doesn't have half the talent as Johnson, when Sheets has 53 total TD's in his career to what Johnson had in his college career with only 43 total.

I'm more intrigued by Boone because on top of having potential there's also a chance of a roster spot for him.

Sheets has experience as a KR too, if he can win that job, then he would probably get 3-5 carries a game to throw defenses off balance with his speed. Speculation of course.

Okay, I guess that's probably the most likely scenario. He beats out Rossum and is our primary KR/PR and only a 5th RB in name. I don't see it happening, but I guess there's a chance there.
