I don't know why you want a guy who is known to cause friction in the clubhouse.

There's been several articles on this over the last several years. Including last year.

You want him around Acuna and Albies?

No thanks

Links?

He is known for making some head scratching plays for sure, but is a freak athlete that can hit. It’s not a long term commitment

Reds will flip them on July if they aren’t good, give them QO if they are good, recoup picks/prospects, etc etc

Good deal all the way around for them IMO

Is it? I'm unclear as to how much LB he's actually played.

He actually hasn’t played but about a year or so. He is a freak athlete. Every report on him is that has the athletic repertoire to be an elite LB but if that doesn’t work, he is still and SEC caliber running back. FWIW

I mean, I know I’m always going to want to believe it’s gonna work out for the best for us but I’ve never understood the RB projections for him. Not that he’s not good at it but he seems like the prototype athlete to be an insane linebacker.

I guess what I see then is a great prospect who might contribute in 2020. Great guy to have in the fold but probably won't immediately close the talent gap.

I am impatient. I want to beat Vanderbilt.

Yeah, same. He’s built similar to Derrick Henry and that size rarely works in today’s NFL. I agree, he looks a lot more like a LB. Hopefully Sherrer and Rocker can mold him into something great.

Coach Nieds really does have a shot at being National Recruiter of the Uear. If he can pull To’oto’o and another big name to go with Wright, he would be a shoe in. So glad he didn’t go to Colorado.

If he pulls To’oo’oo’oo’oo (I have no clue how to actually spell that guys name) he should win going away. Dude has been unbelievable already, that would seal it.

I think he looks a lot more like a LB than Henry tbh. Henry has the weirdest build for a RB I have ever seen.
