Not sure what you mean by "couldn't make it" but CP is a 4x first team all pro, 4x pro bowler, a super bowl champion, holds multiple NFL records, and has made almost 40 million dollars. He is (still) the ultimate utility player.Human highlight machine.
One of the few return specialist / receiver / running back hybrids ever like him in the NFL. Never quite understood why he couldn't make it as a pure receiver.
Probably grades. He was probably seen by other schools as too big a risk. I think I read somewhere that CP didn't attend a single class while he was at UT, because he knew he was going to the NFL after one season at UT. Remember Dooley damn near cost us bowl eligibility because the team's GPA was so bad.The real question is how in the heck Derek Dooley got him to play for him.
I remember when we played Miss State that year, and the announcers kept wanting to talk about how good JUSTIN HUNTER was.It's crazy how many people on this site acted like he wasn't so good player for Tennessee
He is built more like a jay graham or even a lighter Jamal Lewis than Hurd. Hurd was a tall upright runner. I can think of many better than Hurd that he reminds me of. I think Seldon is going to break out this coming season. GBO!That was a special talent. I'm sure Seldon will have a nice career here...or I hope he does...but I don't think that will be his game. I see him along the lines of a Hurd type of RB.
I haven’t seen enough highlights of them to know one way or the other. But he is built more like CP than Hurd. I remember thinking hurd always look like a tight end. CS was a sprinting champ so we know he’s got top end speed. But I hope he has elite quickness as well. That was hurd’s weakness. He just wasn’t shifty enough to be successful consistently. Also, the offensive style Doofus Jones ran didn’t help him. We’d always do that delayed handoff where Hurd is handed the ball while he’s standing still. Just having a single step head start could’ve made a big difference for a back like him.That was a special talent. I'm sure Seldon will have a nice career here...or I hope he does...but I don't think that will be his game. I see him along the lines of a Hurd type of RB.
