Butthead 525 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Love and will miss Worm -- maddening that we could not figure out a way to get him the ball in space more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually faster than Sproles. Screen game, toss plays, and routes out of the backfield. He's a matchup nightmare for linebackers. That's how you use a guy like Shaun IMO. You can't teach his speed and acceleration. Edited November 30, 2021 by Brad_ATX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony4AU 386 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If Tank were to leave, RB rotation of Hunter and Alston work? Maybe Ingram some as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid is fast but he has no where near the lateral movement or shifty abilities of a sproles type player. Wish him the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes all the sense in the world for Shivers to transfer. Transfer somewhere he can get more touches and be featured as a returner at a non-P5 school. Can try and make the league from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No knock against either, just different styles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Pappoe is the only one I think really might be likely to depart. Last I read he was leaning towards returning. Will update this throughout the offseason/postseason. Added Shivers, Canion, and Johnson to the transfer portal. Wish them luck and understand all three deciding to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is closer to Tristan Davis or Corey Grant. Not very elusive, but very good straight ahead speed. I'm a Worm fan, but never thought that he should have been on the field over Tank or JH.

It's like everyone trying to label any white LB the next Luke Kuechly. It's a lazy comparison. Shivers and Sproles are nothing alike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I will always be thankful for Shivers. That play in the iron bowl will live on forever. Good luck to all of these young men. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randman5000 4,226 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Shivers will be an Auburn legend for that Iron Bowl hit and touchdown. He was underutilized but the potential for Tank and Jarquez are pretty high. Don't think he was ever going to overtake them at this point. I applaud Harsin for trying to get him on the field whether on 3rd down or Special teams. He'll be missed. As a senior he graduated an Auburn man. Hope someone picks him. l The others, we'll never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
