Shadowlight, it appears Rodent Nagy is going to be worse than Black Jack Del Rio and Plantation Pete: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bears-dont-rule-out-the-possibility-of-signing-former-chiefs-running-back-kareem-hunt/ Personally, I really hope he signs Kareem Hunt. That should only...

Don, perhaps I was wrong about Owens. I guess the fact that he was "only" listed at 200 pounds in college and 215 pounds during his NFL career and had a ton receptions in 1971, led me to believe he wasn't in the Riggins/Csonka mode and closer to CMAC? Perhaps the answer is Owens was...

Riggins was the last one. That is true. But much like Larry Csonka -- who was drafted prior to the NFL/AFL merger in 1970 -- Riggins was a "power-back". So, in essence, he was no different than Cappelletti, Vardell, Muster and the goy drafted by the Packers in 1974, who had a brief career...

WIR, the aforementioned Raghib Ismail was a clear cut example of a super-hyped player that did not live up to his hype in a rival league, or the NFL. Marcus Dupree (ESPN 30 for 30 fame) is an even more glaring example of a "stud prospect" falling on his face in a rival league (USFL). Same...

Tannehill, that might also explain Kyler's slight frame. I don't remember Murray Sr. as a quarterback at Texas A&M, but he was and is taller than his son. I do remember, albeit slightly, his uncle Calvin Murray, who was considered a Major League Baseball "super-prospect" during the 1990's. He...

Shadow, Maurice Clarrett and Mike Williams tried to sue the NFL over eligibility rules last decade and lost. Not only that, both were huge NFL busts. I can't see Trevor going down that road. Every so often a young superstar comes along and ESPN, led by Mel Kosher Jr. and Todd McGoy, start...

I'm going to have to disagree men. If Jerry Reese was still the Giants' GM I'd be all for Haskins going to Big Blue. However, after about 15 (plus) years of Reese and his mentor, Ernie Accorsi, going full-caste, the team has a chance to turn the corner and become watchable again. They took...

Shadowlight, I guess Steltz was the last real prominent player to start in a title game. By that I mean one of the best players on his team and a legit NFL prospect, at the same time. Either way, I'm glad I was wrong! I'm going to have "edit" my prior post. Listening to Sunseri on the video I...

America, Sunseri might've started in a title game, but I thought he was injured at the apex of his SEC career. Quick net search confirms that was the case. Played special teams early in college; started at safety as a junior until he tore his ACL. Oddly, enough, however, he decided to jump to...

Excellent points Wile and Shadowlight. I think Harbaugh is in a tough spot and I can't imagine he wanted to totally kick Flacco to the curb like he did. But black Hall of Fame tight end/current GM pretty much hand picked Jackson to be the teams quarterback of the future right after he announced...

Thanks Carolina, I'm quoting myself from a recent post. I was bemoaning the fact that even most of the "Academic Schools" don't use white tailbacks. But that wasn't always the case. At about the same time Cuthbert was a star tailback at Duke, Northwestern had a great tailback named Bob...

Thanks to all that replied in this thread. Carolina, while searching for runners with 90 yard plus games yesterday I was reminded how ugly things were (and still are) during the 90's and beyond. Particularly after 1993 when Muster and Hoge were pretty much finished and Vardell was injured...

Don, Connor Williams is the son of a big & tall white-goy and a Mexican woman. He does sort of have a Samoan look to him, but he's not mulatto....Although the Kosher media did have a "good story" with Williams prior to the draft. Apparently as a young kid he was "bullied" because he...

Carolina, please check the top of your screen, I sent you a message yesterday regarding YouTube and Brad Muster...In short, can't find highlights, but there is a full game in 1992 posted on YouTube (Atlanta @ Chicago Week 4), when he had a great day. Bears also had several other top whites at...

Thanks, Heretic. I actually remember Josh Davis fairly well. He wound up signing with the New York Jets in 2004 and did well. Of course, he did not last long with Herm "A.C. Edwards" as coach -- I dubbed him @ss Clown Edwards. Back in that era the Jets had a GM, Terry Bradway, that was not...

Thanks for the input and feedback, Rocky B. and CSpeed. Having put together a good part of the 100 yard games list above, I did a lot research several years back to find these players. Most of the players I knew nothing about, had to find old photos of them to confirm they were white. Doug...

You got me Rocky. Can't believe I flat out forget about his junior year! So that was one goy (for one season) in over 4o years. Even as good as he was as a junior in 2011, he never really could put together a Heisman season as a senior, as Detroit Lions bust Ameer Abdullah took his top spot in...

Thanks for the reply, Heretic. There have only been three white RB's selected in the first round of the NFL Draft dating back to 1974 and all three were from Stanford: Muster ('88), Vardell ('92) and McCaffery ('17)....You could also throw in Toby Gerhart, who was drafted in round two, but...

He did not forget River Cracraft, if you read the list closely. Since he last updated it, however, Max McCaffrey was activated for the last game by San Francisco and Brandon Reilly was signed to Detroit's Practice Squad the final week.

Was doing some research on the USFL recently after I noticed the Cowboys once had a white RB/TE named Todd Fowler. Was able to find 4 impact white running backs in the league's three year history: Scott Stamper, San Antonio; Craig James, Washington Federals: Todd Fowler, Houston Gamblers and...

Freethinker, one thing that Mayock has going for him, is he was was an All-American DB at Boston College and played in the NFL for a few seasons (New York Giants?). I believe he might've even been a pro assistant coach for a while. So he is not your typical DWF "draft expert". Several years...

BFU, I don't disagree about Fatt Matt...But Kizer is the Packers incompetent backup quarterback. His team was down 21-0, 24-0 and 31-0 while he was in the game and all he did was dink & dunk with short completions and run for short gains, which ran down the clock, ensuring the Packers didn't...

Thanks, Freethinker. When I saw the link between Kyler Murray and Calvin Murray I quickly thought about history repeating itself, with another (possibly) over-hyped Murray breaking into the top of MLB's draft? Then I saw the Boros connection and it immediately made sense how a fairly...

Leonard Johnson is someone we discussed here at CF during the 2012 Combine. The cornerback from Iowa State caught our attention when his best official 40 time in Indy was 4.72. Arizona Cardinals released the 7 year veteran yesterday. Johnson came into the league as an undrafted free agent...

Gee, I think I've seen this script before. Who could that be? Why, it was Calvin Murray, who was selected twice among the top dozen in round one of baseball's draft. Murray was hyped beyond belief. Cleveland was devastated when he decided to go to college; Giants eventually got a steal at...
