Jonathon Stewart is a beast

[DeadHorse]

First, if Jerrah trades up for McFadden, he's a moron. There are a ton of good backs in this class.

For one, look at Stewart. He came in at 5'10" and 235 lbs. Then he ran a 4.48 and high jumped 36.5, which is I think the highest so far. For comparison, Peyton Hillis and Owen Schmidt weren't that much heavier than Stewart and they were much slower. Stewart also benched 28 times

Although, Peyton Hillis isn't bad. He came in at 240 and ran a 4.58.

Aren't they both fullbacks?

I like Rashard Mendenhall. He played behind a ****** O line at Illinois and still had a great year. I believe that he is faster than his time at the combine, which wasn't bad. He could be a nice compliment to Barber.

Stewart could be a great one. Who was the other Oregon back that is doing well in the league?

How come Oregon is producing better backs than USC? better uniforms?

 

[Don Johnson]

Onterrio Smith is the only other one who I can think of. Steven Jackson is from Oregon State.

Stewart isn't nearly that fast on the field, I think he's one of the more overrated players in the draft.

 

[AustinBadger]

Agreed. Stewart always had those *WOW* measurables and had 'the look' and just wasn't that great in Eugene.

I don't think he will do well in the League.

As a Houston Texan fan, this is the guy I hope we're zeroed in on. And I hope Sam Baker slips to the 3rd round.

workout warrior.

132 ypg is no workout warrior. Kid's been at the top of draft boards all year long. I don't think he's going to break many long ones, but he's a beast for sure. I really want to see him in Houston as well.

Stewart and Mendenhall with both be good NFL players; the Texans should strongly consider either if they are there at #18...

Stewart is the most NFL ready back in this draft, IMHO. He'll also be one of the 3 most productive when it's all said and done.

 

[UT-69745551]

JJ is secretly working on signing a sleeper free agent. This won't be revealed until after the draft but my sources indicate it will be either Lincoln Coleman or Curvin Richards.

Current NFL RB Reuben Droughns played at Oregon.
