rctiger 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Interesting outcomes/success to date for RBs rated in the top 10 overall by ESPN since 2009. 2009 Trent Richardson - #1 RB, 6th overall = Successful carreer Bryce Brown - #2RB, 8th overall = Train Wreck 2010 Michael Dyer - #1 RB, 5th overall = Mixed 2011 Issaih Crowell - #1 RB, 4th overall = TBD, but not looking good Malcom Brown - #2 RB, 7th overall = TBD, but so far so good That's less than 50% (depending on your viewpoint) for top rated talent. To be sure, talent without character is not good for anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctiger 0 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Agree on ML, but I was just looking at ESPN's top 10. I guess that's where I went wrong...sources sources... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Bryce Brown was a 6th rd pick for the Philadelphia Eagles, while his collegiate career was a bust, he may very well end up having a great pro career. I have only read good things about him and his size/speed ratio in Philly camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only read good things about him and his size/speed ratio in Philly camp That's true. I was really just looking at top level recruits and the positive impact they had on their school of choice (or choices for Bryce Brown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Also, I think David Oku was the #1 All-Purpose back a few years back...and is now at Arky State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
