John Clay not drafted 

Who the hell was advising this kid? Comes out early, hires an agent after an injury-plagued year to not get drafted in a year when he had to have known there was a potential for no/limited undrafted free agency in the event that he wasn't drafted.

I think Wisconsin has a track record for having really good OL and being able to put any RB back there and they get lots of yards. So, NFL teams are probably going to shy away from them.

May have had to do with his size and running style, like Ron Dayne had incredible success at the collegiate level but not in the pros.

problem is, with his style of running and Wisconsin's style of offense, he would have had a lot more tread wear had he stayed in college another year.

Despite being undrafted, staying another year might have been worse.

He really gets hosed, like many undrafted FAs, by the lockout.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Clay is a disgrace. Illiterate humanoid who was given an opportunity simply b/c he could carry a piece of pig skin.

he was a complete failure academically, and once he had to go off of steroids and play with real athletes, he showed what a useless person he is.

he was given his token white girl so he could pass his silly six credits a semester, but never took the initiative to educate himself.

he was to busy looking good in college to work hard on the field, or in the class room.

now the punk can return to the thug life and prosper like a REAL G SHOULD!

I think you are right. Dayne looked like the real thing, and fizzled at the pro level.

And DH....man, you are COLD!!!

with "money" ball and james white being on fire. i doubt he would have seen a ton of action at wisconsin next year. therefore the decision to enter the draft was not the worst one. his worst decision was to run a 4.8 at the combine 😉

This does seem to be the trend and I can't say I disagree. Backs in the Wisconsin system seem to sacrifice a lot of their speed, for greater size. Unfortunately this style has yet to translate well to the NFL.
