i like Chadmans idea of Lamarcus coker. If i'm not mistaken, he has the longest 2 TD runs in Tennessee history. They have had some decent backs come through there. From my understanding his biggest problem was the herb.
definitely worth a flyer late.
I guess when your last name is
Coker, you're bound to have some drug issues...
LaMarcus Coker - RB - Hampton
By Joe Everett on Wednesday, 3rd February 2010
This former Tennessee Volunteer was dismissed from the program for violating the school’s drug policy, which led to his eventual transfer to Hampton.
LaMarcus Coker was actually a starter over former Volunteer RB gone pro, Arian Foster,and he has a great combination size and speed. He has been timed in the 4.3-range and at 200+ lbs, that’s a very intriguing feet that will be very closely monitored in Indianapolis.
Scouts will be very concerned with Coker’s character issues but he actually looks back on this whole experience as a teaching tool. “It was a humbling experience, and really — it might sound funny — but I’m thankful for it,” Coker said. “I think if everything would have (gone) smoothly at UT and I was in the NFL now, I might have had those problems that you see guys like (Adam) ‘Pacman’ Jones and Plaxico Burress having, career-ending issues. I think that my time at Hampton — the Lord sent me here to give me time to mature and grow.”
