Re: AdropOFvenom's RB Rankings Kenny Irons looked weak, going down on first contact. While he can get small and get through a hole, whenever he was hit he wasn't breaking any tackles. I'd put him behind Bush and Leonard. I'd also move Hunt in front of Pittman. Hunt has some big time explosion and is a huge force up the middle. He'll never be Marshall Faulk but he could be Jerome Bettis

It just means that Kenny Irons is a pretty distant 3 from 1 and 2 right now IMO.Tony Hunt is closer to Kevan Barlow then Jerome Bettis. Hunt runs way too up right and will be lucky if he doesn't put up a 4.6 as he doesn't have Breakaway Speed for a Runningback, not to mention he doesn't have the Power that Bettis did. Good inside runner who can develop into a good situational back, but that's all he'll ever be.

He's a falling stock right now....and I need to see something good in the combine to change that.

Re: AdropOFvenom's RB Rankings ^^with USC, UCLA, Washington's D, Arizona's D, Oregon State's D...?6.6 YPC is mighty impressive even if he was in the WAC.

Re: AdropOFvenom's RB Rankings What about Wisconsin?Iowa and PSU fell off the map, considering the hype for them was so high at the end of last year. MSU just sucks again, Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota, Purdue, Illinois, well they just don't matter. So change that to 3 teams
