What are peoples thoughts on Lamar Gordon. People talk about Feeley getting more time to prove himself, but Lamar pretty much had no oppurtunity to show what he can do.
Here is a scouting report I found when he was coming out:
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'0½ 214 4.58 3.76
Three-year starter that impacted the program as a true freshman. Suffered a high ankle sprain as a senior and played in only eight games, finishing the year with 129/780/6.0/10 on the ground and 5/66/13.2/1 as a pass catcher. Junior totals on the were 256/1,727/6.7/22 rushing with 14/163/11.7/1 receiving. Broke the century mark for the first time as a sophomore totaling 259/1,495/5.8/22 and also catching 15/114/7.6/0.
Productive back with excellent run instincts. Patient, displays vision, finds the running lanes and quickly getting through them. Fast enough to beat opponents around the corner, displays a burst in the open field and runs to daylight. Catches the ball well out of the backfield and works to pick up positive yardage running after the reception. Not overly elusive but does display the ability to set up defenders and make them miss in the short field. Not a big or strong back, not one who picks up much yardage off initial contact nor can he string several moves together during a single carry. Plays faster than his listed 40-time but ran poorly at the combine and did not catch the ball well. Had a solid week of practices at the Senior Bowl and looked as though he may have been moving towards the early part of the second frame but was not able to keep the momentum going in Indianapolis. Right now does not look like he can handle the duties of being a feature back at the next level but rather should be effective and productive in a system where he is rotated in and out of the lineup or used as a situational runner. Should be productive carrying and catching the ball on the limited basis at the next level. Late Second Round.
Sorry if this is redundant.
