Aston Jeanty is crazy overrated

[bandu]

Barry Sanders was only 5'8" & 200 lbs. played 10 seasons in the NFL without ever missing a game due to an injury

For the record, I don't think Jeanty is "crazy overrated". I just don't think there's much if any gap between Jeanty and Hampton and if you like your RBs to double as receiving threats you might actually prefer Hampton. I think they're both legit 1st round RB prospects which translates to elite RB prospects in the modern NFL

This dude is a 5’9 RB that is 215?  And doesn’t have a blazing 40 to his name?  And played against inferior comp at Boise State?  Any team taking him over Omarion Hampton is nuts but in the first round is just not smart.  He will get hurt consistently at that size.  Someone explain this to me.

I haven't researched him at all, but I will say that 5'9" and 215 sounds like a load. I don't get why you'd say, "He will get hurt consistently at that size." In fact the dude everyone wants us to get is 5'10" and 219, with a decidedly more physical running style I might add, but I'd say that the guys may be shorter, but they aren't slight.

He's 6 lbs lighter than Hampton but also almost 3 inches shorter so the same comparable build. Dude is just being a homer because the logic he's using isn't there.

Since when does height matter for RB?

Jeanty has crazy contact balance

Jeanty is a stud. Hampton is closer to RB 3 than RB1 

[csx]

Jeanty is getting criticized for a pedestrian game against Penn State. 

Duke did that to Hampton.

I can fully understand preferring to take Hampton later but I dint get criticizing Jeanty.

I've heard some analysts say Hampton is RB1. We'll find out.

We'll know who RB1 is in a few years.

I just find it funny how State fans come running to talk poo about how UNC fans always do something any time anything UNC is mentioned. Oddly, I don't recall any UNC fans shitting on Icky as a prospect because of where he went to school or mentioning his college team when he's looking like a turnstile in pass pro. The inferiority complex is just annoying.

Are any Carolina fans talking crap about any State prospects this year? I wouldn't mind at all to draft Belton in the mid-rounds. I don't give a poo where a guy went to school. If he went to UNC, great. But that's just icing on the cake.

He looked very ordinary against the one good defense he played against.

Maybe for casual fans that only watched him during the CFP.

Folks that paid attention though saw what he did vs. Oregon early in the season and knew it was gonna be a wild run.

Do you want to die on that hill?

And what is "inferior"? How "inferior" is the Mountain West to the ACC, really? There isn't as big of a gap as ESPN would like for you to believe. You also have to remember that he is playing behind a Boise State offensive line. He isn't playing behind Georgia's line in the Mountain West.

So what you call "inferior", I call a level playing field. If he was just another dude who beat up on smaller schools, he wouldn't be considered to be drafted where he is.

Oregon was completely exposed as a fraud in the playoff.  Do better
