I absolutely love this guy. Huge fan of James.

I think he's going to be much better in the NFL than he was in college. Cancer completely derailed his career in college. He was just getting body right last season. Once he's finished recomping his body, watch out. Guy is a hammer on the field with sneaky athleticism.

Same. I'd love to have him on our team and give him a shot.He is a much better athlete then people give credit to.

Just on last year, I think he proved he was a mid-rounder which is extraordinary considering the knee injury and then cancer.

I'm pretty confident he will stick in the NFL for at minimum a couple of years. Can't say that about a lot of RBs. He has a very high floor IMO.
