Sign him up...

 

[Gatormac2112]

What kind of competition is he going against? I usually say the son of a legend has no chance of ever being very good. The son of a marginal star? Yes. The son of a legend? Not a chance.

 

[gatormandan]

Yea, looks like he sucks....

 

[rogdochar]

He's not big enough. He's not fast enough. He's not quick enough. He won't make it in college football .
Certainly won't make it in the NFL -- he's just like his Dad.

 

[NVGator]

Is he a 3*?

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Get him. Now.

 

[deuce]

Really poor competition!

He almost never had to beat anyone at the line. But, I'd take him...

 

[rogdochar]

He is just a freshman, you know. But also -- he will prove himself in time.

Exactly. "A lugger" as someone once famously described his dad.

Yep. Just a freshman. Sky's the limit.

I thought "plodder"was the description?

 

[stephenPE]

He does remind me of his dad. Runs with a compact style, low center of gravity and real good vision. Deceptive speed.

"Emmitt Smith is a lugger, not a runner," Emfinger told me. "He's not fast. He can't get around the corner. When he falls flat on his face, remember where you heard it first."

[LeeForThree]

Speed, vision (looks like he really understands and sees the running lanes), and the ability to make people miss. If he gets bigger he could become great!

 

[Gatorphan]

He's got the vision and north-south instinct of his father. It's natural to him, not something learned.

My brother and I had more fun repeating that line than most people have at Disney World each day. Did Emfinger ever live that down?
