NCAAF ☞ NFL: Did you SEE Barry Sanders Jr!?
Barry Sanders Jr fans,
He is only a sophomore at Stanford.
Already he is on highlight reels. ex: against WSU he exhibited a move reminiscent of his father: planting on one foot at a 100% sprint to cut in opposite direction.
Q 1. Do YOU predict great things for Sanders, Jr if he goes pro?

1) And just think, he's the 3rd string running back at Stanford. I think Sanders, Jr will stay at Stanford at least 1 more year just to give him a chance to be the bell cow back there. But WOW does he look impressive. I've said it before that in recent history the only RB worth a first round pick is Adrian Peterson. But from what I've seen from Sanders, Jr, he may become the second. It's obvious that he's got his dad's talent. I'm not calling him a Hall of Famer (yet), but he's got the moves and the speed to find greatness.
The user D is crazy and clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. D, have you ever heard of Todd Gurley? You don't think he's worth a 1st-rounder? I personally think Gurley, a true sophomore, is better than Peterson was when he was a sophomore in college.
Sanders Jr. isnt' THAT good. He couldn't even beat out a White RB, Tyler Gaffney, for the starting job and currently sits 3rd on the depth chart. The two running backs sitting in front of Sanders Jr. -- Gaffney and Anthony Wilkerson -- will be lucky to be chosen before the 5th round of next year's draft.
Just because he's Barry Sanders' kin doesn't mean he'll play like him. Some say he received a lot of unwarranted attention just because he's related to Barry Sr. Based on talent alone, he shouldn't have received scholarships to Stanford and other top programs.

Q.1. *Sigh* We don't even know if he's good enough to go pro, first off.
I'm not hating. I just think it's stupid to hype him up just because his dad is a legend. Barry Jr. is not nearly as fast nor elusive as his father was. It's not even close.

USC has a 17-year-old (he won't turn 18 until November) True Freshmen named Justin Davis who's better than Sanders Jr. by leaps and bounds.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/stats/_...
Davis is averaging 7.4 YPC behind a horrible offensive line. Stanford, meanwhile, has arguably the best run-blocking offensive line in the country.
If he starts in his final 1-2 years for Stanford and be somewhat decent an NFL team will possibly draft him in the 6-7 round because of his HoF Barry Sanders dad but I hope good for this kid in football and education .
When you are playing against WSU now a days it isn't too hard to make a highlight reel... Lol....
