Darren Sprolles RB from Kansas state was the man in college. He didn't get drafted i'm sure because of his size at 5'9", but the kid racked up around 2000 yards rushing i beleive. He would be a real dangerous return man and special teams player. He may even make the team as a 3rd running back behind Lamont Jordan.

He didn't get drafted because he's one of the leading Heisman contenders for the 2004 season. ;)

Exactly! :D

Sprolles will certainly be a first round selection come the 2005 NFL draft.

I'm not so sure that he'll be a 1st. round selection for the simple fact that he's one of those college running backs that just might not have a place in the NFL. I believe he is only 5'7" and 170 lbs. That's just not big enough to be a feature back by any stretch of the imagination. I can't imagine someone spending a 1st. rounder on a dangerous kick returner.

That's right. He probably will end up as a 3rd down specialist, returner, at best. Someone will take him in the 3rd round, maybe the 4th. But I can't see him as an every down contributor.
