    Tell ya what...... He looked real good against the Buckeyes, No?

    Should be a low first round/ high second round pick as I see it.
    could be a above average back in the right system, but a stand alone back on his own.....jury's out.

    Helluva dude too. Would love to see him as a Ram (hoping the fact that he's an RB makes him slip if Amari is gone), with Tre Mason coming in on 3rd down.

    Keep in mind he was a Redshirt Junior, likely close to graduating.

    He'll never be a workhorse 25 carry a game guy. Just not that type of back.

    No one in the nfl is a 25 carry a game guy anymore. It's not a big deal.

    Why should he stay at school?
    He's not getting drafted in the top 5 so unless he's taken in the 2nd or 3rd he's not gonna be on one of those teams.

    dont forget any RB can run through big holes

    Its the ones that make their own good runs with no blocking and speed and power

    no idea if he could

    I would think every Bama back better than him even guys that do not play

    College stats do not mean anything as far as meaning a good pro

    I need to go back and watch that Nebraska game how the hell do you give up 408 yards on 25 carries when wisky has no Qb and Gordon is the focus of the offense....he is the offense. How do you do that? 16.3 yards per attempt is hard to do on the NCAA video game

    He would make more money with any of those teams than he would with a college degree and a 10th Grade reading level. Plus if he gets hurt then it's "oh well"....take the money and hire a private tutor and finish your degree..no point in staying if you know your a 1/2 round pick

    No RB is effective with no blocking, only one close was Barry Sanders, OJ Simpson was nothing until he got some blocking. Gordon is a stud see Jamaal Charles in him, he'll do fine barring injury.
