There was no indication that he'd blow up this big at the time.

errr
wiki "He has also recorded 9,259 all-purpose yards, which ranks second on the NCAA all-time list. Brian Westbrook (Villanova, 19972001) currently holds the record with 9,512 total yards of offense."

"Woodhead is only the second player in collegiate history to score more than 100 touchdowns."

"Barry Sanders is the only college player to accumulate more all-purpose yards than the 3,159 that Woodhead gained in 2006, as he gained 3,250 as a junior at Oklahoma State University in 1988, when he won the Heisman Trophy."

plus the way he ran in the jets preseason games 2 years ago ...

The jets let him go this season; belichick knew he would be good and immediately got him going in his games.

And Terrell Hudgins broke several college records for recieving stats (previously held by Jerry Rice) over the last few years. Don't know who he is, correct? He got cut by the Cowboys after pre-season, and is currently on no team's roster.

College ball =/= NFL ball. Woodhead had been in the league a few years already, and had shown nothing like what he's done since he joined the Patriots. One preseason game is hardly enough to show he's a baller like that.

True, but that's because it's almost always predicated on the schemes the guys play in college and then jumping into a mostly pro-offense. There's a lot of NCAA schemes that aren't a conducive transition into the pro game.

I don't think it has as much to do with the player any more or less than it has to do with the offensive system he's in.

It still proves my point. College production does not necessarily translate into the NFL.

Meh.. kinda. My point wasn't to disprove yours. It was just that the college production vs NFL production has more to do with schemes than the player.

Haha I'm sorry for bringing it up then :physassult: since I brought it up.. He was in Oklahoma City watching his son play football, By the way Barry JR looks like the real deal he had 300 yards, and me and my family talked to him for a good 5 minutes. Thought I should expound on my story :thumbleft:

I don't ever much care for College, let alone High School ball, but I watched some film on Jr and he looks impressive. It'll be interesting to see how he does against bigger stronger athletes in College.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
