"Oh, I also think Clarett is going to have a very rough time in the NFL. He's just not developed enough."

HUH?
Not developed enough?

This guys is a specimen!
A horse!
His freshman year he played in just abour all but 1 game and 3 or 4 of those games he played until halftime because he had already passed 150 yards for the game. He was near the top of college in rushing and if left in those games this man would have been the leading rusher. He was the crucial and central player that won Ohio State the National Championship and he wont make it in the NFL? Hogwash. I doubt the NFL is ready for a running back like this.

Same things applied to Penn State's Ki-Jana Carter. A supersonic tailback who seldom played beyond halftime on the undefeated & #2 ranked (behind Nebraska) '94 team. He blew his knee out in the first preseason game as a pro (Bengals) attempting to turn a swing pass upfield. Freak accident? Perhaps. But it would have been nice to see him take more snaps his senior year so that we could evaluate his durability.

The perception of Clarett is that he's brittle. That will hurt his draft position as much has the other stuff.

He's very well-developed for a college sophomore, playing other college students. But in the pros he's underdeveloped. This is according to NFL players, not me. But we shall see.

Face facts--it was an incredibly down year for college football or else the buckeys never could have won the national championship. It was a one in a million fluke when they beat Michigan and then they beat a weak Miami team from the weakest conference in major college football, the so-called "Big" East. I predict Clarett will have less NFL success than the last "big-time" buckey running back--Archie Grifin.

And btw, what a typical buckey name that is. Maurice. That'll sound good though when he gets cut from the NFL and opens his hair and nails salon in Columbus; "Stylin' with Maurice"--a good place for the buckey linemen to hang out and commiserate after Michigan blows them out of the Horseshoe yet again.
