I noticed and was surprised his measurables weren't very good. Figured at his weight he'd be near the top in all of the running and agility stuff.
Guy just laces it up and plays ball though. He may have dropped out of the first round with combine performance but I'd still expect him to be a decent pro.

He's at worst a 2nd rounder.
The most important thing at the combine is interviews when you're already a highly regarded player because of your outstanding tape.

Crimson, you just made me laugh
You are spot on.
I was just talking to an Engineer that has oversight on projects. Lots and lots of cable that are fairly heavy. He was talking about a guy on a crew that was some big body builder. Massive dude Biggest wuss in the world. His nickname was "Window Dressing" because he whined, complained, bitched and moaned about how much work it was to do the job. He was completely useless. Suffice it to say, he didn't even get fired! He left before the firing gears could get moving!!! We started laughing together and thought of this other kid, about 140lb, 5'6" skinny as a rail and busts his butt, works his tail off and got more work done than "WD" And lifted just as much cable and did so more efficiently.
It doesn't matter regarding what venue, what market, what niche, what employer what makes you valuable is whats between your ears.

The career money is in playing defense. Athletically he would be a really good running back, but I honestly don't know if he's capable of coming in right away, knowing how to pick up pro-style offenses, protections, etc to be a 2 or 3-down back worthy of a 1st round pick.
Will be interesting. Hawks spent a 2nd on Christine Michael, and he's on the verge of being on his last limb because of those things. Can't block, doesn't make good reads, puts the ball on the deck too often. Totally 1st round talent, 7th round head.
Which is why picking Jameis Winston with the first pick of the draft is crazy. Million dollar arm, ten cent head.
