I'll answer each question in numerical order because I have something to say about all of them! I like these kind of posts...

The comparison of AD and LT is a good one. They both will be great runners when its all said and done! However, I'm not confident enough to venture out into the waters of who is the better back just yet. AD is definetly a rare talent. He has that rare tri-combination of speed/power/quickness! However, history shows he has durability issues which are a question mark. He seems to recover well however, he spends quite a bit of time injured. He could been arguably the best runner in NCAA history had he stayed healthy. He rushed for over 2000 yards as a freshman and lead his team to a national championship appearance. This guy lead the league in rushing with over 1000 yards through 8 games, sat out for 2 weeks and returned to still be leading the league in rushing! He is GREAT! FANTASTIC! PHENOMENAL! Stating healthy will tell his legacy!

Who was great in college but did not do anything in the PROS? A lot of folks! The reverse is also true! No namers becoming great in the league! A huge part of this is systems. When being recruited it is important to study your options. Be sure that you will be a viable asset to their schemes. If not you may go unrecognized! "Ronald Curry" is a great example of this! The best player in HS Football & Basketball his senior year but he goes to play football at UNC! Horrible decision. Maybe he went for hoops but even still he plays football first!

The practive squad consists of a large number of players that did not make the 53 man roster. However, a lot of them get upgraded to the squad when injuries happen, etc. They are their to run the plays of the upcoming opponent!
