from Clemson. This kid is a Jamaal Charles clone. We all know how Haley loved utilizing Charles in his scheme. Watch for him in the second round.

Don't know anything about him. Got any details?
Played behind C.J. Spiller as a frosh. Split time with Jamie Harper as a soph. Is an electric player with great burst and speed. Not a tckle breaker bt has very good speed and vision. Think LaMichael James.

Interesting. A guy like that could really add a nice dimension to the Steelers offense.
You would take him over Lacy? I wouldn't. Half of these smallish speed guys never cut it. You just don't know until they are in the league. The best ever smallish back was James Brooks - 180 lbs but was still an every down back that could run through traffic (something Rainy could not do) and take it to the house. He played for SD and Cinci. I recall him blowing the doors off Rod Woodson, of all people.
I am definitely wary of the scat-back type. The kid from Florida - Gillislee - is about as small as I would like to see the Steelers draft.

He doesn't burst of the screen or anything. I think at the NFL level he won't be that good. But this dude....

Gillislee does everything you can ask for him & he can help in pass blocking. He'd be the 3rd down RB right away, and quite possibly take a few carries off Dwyer/Redman. He's a perfect pickup.
I have Le'Veon Bell on my mock, we probably could get him in the 4th, he's a tough runner and probably could start for us.
